Underwater diving presents noteworthy physiological challenges, impacting the autonomic nervous system (ANS) balance. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a widely used tool for ANS assessment. While standard HRV methods are prevalent in diving research, nonlinear HRV methods are still not fully exploited. In this study, we characterized cardiac variability complexity in hyperbaric environments using n...Show More
The following study proposes the use of an automatically controlled ventilator during hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO therapy). HBO therapy has been used clinically since the mid 1800s and is currently approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) to treat 13 different medical conditions. The theory behind this therapy is that if a patient breathes 100% oxygen at pressures greater ...Show More
The objective of this work is the identification of significant variations of morphological parameters of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal when the subjects are exposed to an increase in atmospheric pressure. To achieve this goal, the PPG signal of 26 subjects, exposed to a hyperbaric environment whose pressure increases up to 5 atm, has been recorded. From this record, segments of 4 minutes...Show More

This paper provides managers with an understanding of what a diver is, the cost of diving services, and an awareness of the problems and considerations involved in the performance of work underwater. To this end, it serves as a brief introduction to the commercial diving industry and underwater world.Show More
While trivial research has been conducted in watermarking and authentication of H.264 video in recent years, most techniques require cascaded operations within a video adaptation scenario. In this paper, we propose an authentication scheme for adapted H.264 video content to detect integrity at the receiver's side without the need for cascaded operations. The proposed scheme utilizes MPEG-21 gBSD f...Show More

The limit quantum efficiency of light interaction with oxyhemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin at wavelengths of 525, 605 and 850 nm corresponding to the maxima of the action spectrum is studied. Obtained in vivo evaluations of the quantum yield of photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin HbO2 and carboxyhemoglobin HbCO range from 0.1 to 0.14 for HbO2 and from 0.76 to 0.90 for HbCO. The yield of photodissoc...Show More

The main aim of this paper was to characterize the Autonomic Nervous System response in hyperbaric environments using electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse-photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. To that end, 26 subjects were introduced into a hyperbaric chamber and five stages with different atmospheric pressures (1 atm; descent to 3 and 5 atm; ascent to 3 and 1 atm) were recorded. Respiratory information ...Show More
The main aim of this work is to identify alterations in the morphology of the pulse photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal, due to the exposure of the subjects to a hyperbaric environment. Additionally, their Pulse Rate Variability (PRV) is analysed to characterise the response of their Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). To do that, 28 volunteers are introduced into a hyperbaric chamber and five sequential ...Show More

The goal of blind image forensics is to determine authenticity and origin of an image without using an explicitly embedded security scheme. Most existing forensic methods can roughly be grouped into statistical and physics-based approaches. Statistical methods can oftentimes be fully automated, and achieve impressive results on current state-of-the-art benchmarks. Physics-based methods explain ima...Show More
Detection of double Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) compression is an important part of image forensics. Although methods in the past studies have been presented for detecting the double JPEG compression with a different quantization matrix, the detection of double JPEG compression with the same quantization matrix is still a challenging problem. In this paper, an effective method to detec...Show More
With the ever growing population, increase in vehicle use, industrialization and urbanization, the level of pollution in the air has increased resulting in several harmful effects on the well-being of humans by directly affecting their health. This paper proposes a model based on IoT called the Air Sensing System which will help monitor the quality of air that we breathe over a cloud based platfor...Show More
The pace of technology adoption in the broadcast industry is moving forward slower than in broadband media services because of different aspects. While the broadband penetration rate is growing sharply, the required investment to embrace the broadband content catalogue into the actual broadcast solutions is a major challenge. Nowadays, broadband media services offers more content by means of Inter...Show More
The authors describe a system of gas-balance control to be used with the Gamow Bag, a portable hyperbaric chamber. A face mask and latex bladder are utilized along with a small amount of tubing to create the proper environment within the chamber. The system is lightweight and efficient, and it requires little effort on the part of those operating the chamber from the outside. Once the chamber is c...

In heavy machineries the power to weight ratio of the drive train performs a major role in designing the mechanics of the movers. Hydraulic system were preferred for the highest power to weight ratio and compact in design for the work to be accomplished. It is even more critical in the design considerations of the underwater vehicle for the hyperbaric applications. Axial piston pump coupled with t...Show More
With the development of society and the progress of technology, more and more ocean activities are carried out. It results in booming of deep-sea diving. The use of helium-oxygen mixture (as a kind of breathing gas) solves the physiological problems of divers in saturated diving, but it brings about the Heliumspeech voice communication problem, the drop of speech intelligibility. There is no doubt...Show More

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) tries to maintain homeostasis in hyperbaric environments, but its activity may present large variability between subjects. The aim of this study is to establish safety ranges for ANS-related indices derived from the electrocardiographic signal (ECG) during diving and use them to identify subjects with abnormal ANS response and avoid potential diving accidents. A ...Show More
