Developments and Applications for ECG Signal Processing: Modeling,
Segmentation, and Pattern Recognition covers reliable techniques
for ECG signal processing and their potential to significantly
increase the applicability of ECG use in diagnosis. This book
details a wide range of challenges in the processes of acquisition,
preprocessing, segmentation, mathematical modelling and pattern
recognition in ECG signals, presenting practical and robust
solutions based on digital signal processing techniques. Users will
find this to be a comprehensive resource that contributes to
research on the automatic analysis of ECG signals and extends
resources relating to rapid and accurate diagnoses, particularly
for long-term signals. Chapters cover classical and modern features
surrounding f ECG signals, ECG signal acquisition systems,
techniques for noise suppression for ECG signal processing, a
delineation of the QRS complex, mathematical modelling of T- and
P-waves, and the automatic classification of heartbeats.
Long-dead British soldiers, grieving lovers, an undead priest -
Niagara-on-the-Lake's long and colourful history is kept alive by
ghosts of its past. Widely considered to be Canada's most haunted
community, the town has preserved much of its built heritage, thus
providing perfect "haunts" for age-old spirits.
Through historical investigation and engrossing storytelling,
the authors have detailed nearly two dozen ghosts. An ageless
tavern is home to the spirit of a British officer slain in its
basement, a gentlemanly ghost except when encountering Americans; a
woman comes face-to-face with a hero from the past while working at
one of the nation's most cherished historic landmarks; visitors to
Queenston Heights are stalked by phantom soldiers.
Historical research is embedded in every tale in an attempt to
establish the line between fact and fantasy. But numerous
eyewitness accounts will draw the reader into these unusual and
often unnerving stories.
New technologies play an increasingly important role in the
analysis, monitoring, restoration, and preservation of historic
structures. These technological systems continue to get more
advanced and complex, for example: 3D digital construction and
documentation programming, 3D imaging data (including laser
scanning and photogrammetry), multispectral and thermographic
imaging, geophysical data, etc. This book will present the latest
nondestructive technologies used in the characterization,
preservation, and structural health monitoring of historic
buildings. It will include numerous case studies, as well as
theoretical explanations about each of the methods and technologies
used in each.
Since the 1880s, people have travelled to Muskoka in search of
solace and relaxation, enjoying the comfortable confines and warm
hospitality of resorts while at the same time reveling in the
tranquil wilderness and refreshing lakes. Things haven't really
changed all that much over the past century. Vacationers might
access Muskoka faster today, and upon arrival find the available
luxuries much more impressive, but the allure remains the same as
when the tourism industry first exploded on the Muskoka scene. This
northern playground grew in popularity during the 20th century.
Hollywood stars, business tycoons, and celebrities from all walks
of life soaked up everything the area offered. This storied past of
carefree summers and timeless hospitality is the focus of Muskoka
Resorts. Twenty classic resorts are explored, some of which are
thriving today, such as Windermere House and Deerhurst, while
others such as Limberlost and Bigwin Inn are long gone, though
fondly remembered.
Ghost Towns of Muskoka explores the tragic history of a collection
of communities from across Muskoka whose stars have long since
faded. Today, these ghost towns are merely a shadow – or spectre
– of what they once were. Some have disappeared entirely, having
been swallowed by regenerating forests, while others have been
reduced to foundations, forlorn buildings, and silent ruins. A few
support a handful of inhabitants, but even these towns are wrapped
in a ghostly shroud. But this book isnt only about communities that
have died. Rather it is about communities that lived, vibrantly at
that, if only for a brief time. Its about the people whose dreams
for a better life these villages represented; the people who lived,
loved, laboured, and ultimately died in these small wilderness
settlements. And its about an era in history, those early heady
days of Muskoka settlement when the forests were flooded with
loggers and land-hungry settlers.
