Este documento presenta un análisis de los patrones de uso y eficiencia de materiales en América Latina entre 1970 y 2008. Se basa en la primera base de datos sobre flujos de materiales creada específicamente para la mayoría de los países de la región. El informe encuentra que la eficiencia en el uso de recursos en la región ha disminuido gradualmente a lo largo del período, aunque el aumento reciente de los precios de las materias primas ha frenado esta tendencia. El principal impulsor del aumento de las presiones ambientales en

The document discusses rural mobile value-added services (VAS) in India. It notes that by 2012, 60% or close to 400 million of India's projected 650 million total mobile subscribers will be rural. Some prevailing trends for rural VAS discussed include astrology, Bollywood content, cricket updates and missed call codes used to communicate. Challenges include low literacy rates, lack of awareness of VAS services, and that most rural Indians top-up for Rs. 50 or below. Available rural services from handset manufacturers and through SMS/WAP are discussed. The document advocates for voice-activated services in local languages at affordable prices to empower rural users.
This document provides an overview of genetics and DNA. It discusses the location of DNA in cells, the structure of DNA, the discovery of DNA's role as the genetic material, DNA replication, and applications of DNA technology. Some key points include: DNA is found coiled in chromatin in the nucleus; it has a double-helix structure with adenine pairing with thymine and guanine pairing with cytosine; experiments in the 1950s showed that DNA carries genetic information; DNA replicates semi-conservatively before cell division; and recombinant DNA techniques have led to uses like producing insulin from bacteria.

STUCK-OPEN FAULT ANALYSIS IN CMOS TRANSISTOR BASED COMBINATIONAL CIRCUITSMinh Anh Nguyen
This document discusses stuck-open faults in CMOS transistor-based combinational circuits. It begins by introducing defects that can occur during integrated circuit manufacturing. Stuck-open faults are identified as a major source of defects where an output may float to an intermediate value. The chapter then presents a CMOS implementation of a combinational circuit based on ESOP expressions that is robustly testable for detecting single stuck-open faults using a modified circuit with additional control inputs and outputs. The document provides background on CMOS technology, MOSFET switches, and CMOS switching circuits.
This document provides an overview of electrocardiograms (ECGs) including what they are used for, how they work, and how to interpret the different parts of an ECG tracing. An ECG records the electrical signals of the heart and can be used to diagnose heart conditions. It describes the normal anatomy and function of the heart as well as defining the typical waves, intervals and rates that make up a normal ECG tracing such as the P, QRS, T waves and PR interval. Abnormalities that can be detected from an irregular heartbeat like atrial fibrillation are also discussed.

Matlab code for comparing two microphone filesMinh Anh Nguyen
This MATLAB code reads in two audio files, extracts the right channel of the stereo signal, cuts both signals to the same length, and performs several analyses to compare the signals:
1. It plots the cut signals and their FFTs to visually compare them.
2. It calculates the mean squared error (MSE) between the cut signals and determines if they are the same or not based on a threshold.
3. It calculates various digital statistics of the cut signals like mean, standard deviation, variance, and average power and displays them.
4. It performs a cross-correlation between the FFTs of the cut signals and plots the result.
The document summarizes the evaluation of an audio detection system prototype for identifying misloading issues in a centrifuge. Testing showed the prototype had a 93% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 94% accuracy in detecting when bearings were loaded incorrectly based on analyzing audio signals. Future work is suggested to integrate the prototype with motor control and position sensing to automatically detect and address any misloading issues in the centrifuge.
This document contains the lyrics to the song "Love Me Tender" by Elvis Presley. Over the course of the song, the singer expresses his enduring love for his darling and asks her to love him tenderly, truly, and to take him into her heart forever. He promises that he will always love her.
The document discusses the NI myRio and its capabilities for reading image and audio files. The NI myRio can read PNG, JPEG, and BMP image formats. It can only read audio in WAV format. PNG is best for images with sharp edges or no gradients, while JPEG is better for photos with gradients. BMP has both indexed and direct color depths but results in large file sizes. Microphones convert sound waves to electrical signals, with different types using various methods, and stereo microphones capture two channels of sound for left and right arrival times.
Results Review of iphone and Detecting of Human Errors AlgorithmMinh Anh Nguyen
The document provides a review and results from experiments comparing audio files using Matlab and Labview algorithms to detect differences between identical and non-identical files. It outlines tasks from a previous meeting and issues encountered integrating audio analysis tools into the NI myRio software. Matlab results are presented comparing various audio file pairs that were either identical or not identical, and a Labview result is shown for one non-identical file pair. The author is Minh Anh Nguyen from Colorado State University's School of Biomedical and Electrical Engineering.
Results Review of Microphone Prototype and LabView Detecting of Human Errors ...Minh Anh Nguyen
The document summarizes tests of a microphone prototype and LabView algorithms for detecting human errors. It outlines tasks from a previous meeting, describes the microphone prototype, and reports on LabView results analyzing audio files to detect differences between files representing correct and incorrect settings. Tests were conducted in both simulation and device modes to validate that image and audio files were loaded correctly and differences were correctly identified between non-identical files but not with identical files. Issues identified with specific microphone prototype configurations were also detected by the LabView algorithms.
The document analyzes a method for detecting human errors in image files by comparing histograms of two images. It discusses using histograms to visualize pixel intensity distributions and compare overall contrast and dynamic range. The method involves reading and resizing two images, calculating their histograms, and checking for differences to detect errors. Matlab and Labview code examples demonstrate comparing histogram plots and pixel counts to determine if two images match or not. Test results show the histogram method can effectively detect errors by identifying mismatches between images.
The document analyzes a method for comparing two audio files using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm to detect human errors. It describes how the FFT works, breaking signals into frames and returning frequency values. It then outlines the steps to compare audio files, including truncating signals to equal lengths, calculating normalized energy spectral density from the FFTs, and computing the mean-square-error between the signals. MATLAB and LabVIEW code examples are provided to load files, perform the FFT, calculate MSE, and display results identifying whether files are identical or not. Graphs show FFT results and cross-correlations for identical and non-identical file pairs.
The document summarizes a senior design project to address human error in loading disposable kits for the Spectra Optia centrifuge. Two concepts were selected: a machine vision system using cameras to detect misloads, and an audio system using microphones. The systems would detect loading errors before blood enters the centrifuge and alert the operator. A valve block modification was also proposed to prevent tubing from being loaded behind the cassette and eliminate potential misloads.
