@article{dodd_hale_blanchard_2004, title={Electronic nose analysis of tilapia storage}, volume={47}, DOI={10.13031/2013.15840}, abstractNote={An electronic nose (e-nose), containing 16 tin metal oxide sensors with various sensitivities, was used to classify decay times in an 18 h accelerated decay study of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Data collected were split into three 6 h base classes for training. Principal component analysis was tested for feature extraction to be used in classification but was found to be inadequate. Linear discriminate analysis was also used and found adequate for feature extraction. Both least squares and K-nearest neighbor classifiers were explored. Least squares and K-nearest neighbor produced classification rates of 86.4% and 87.0%, respectively. Data combing techniques were used to increase classification rates from 87.0% to 97.8% for K-nearest neighbor. Optimum classification performance was achieved with classes corresponding to 0-1.9 h, 6-7.9 h, and 12-13.9 h. The dataset was also classified into six 3 h classes. Data classifications for the 3 h classes followed trends expected for decaying freshwater fish. Data combing was again employed to increase the classification that was possible. A final classification was achieved of 78.8% for least squares and 83.8% for K-nearest neighbor.}, number={1}, journal={Transactions of the ASAE}, author={Dodd, T. H. and Hale, S.

Day-old (Day 1) Arbor Acres x Arbor Acres male chicks were randomly assigned to two different diets: control (Diet A) and one that contained elements that contribute to SDS (Diet B). The heaviest birds in each group on Day 13 underwent surgery on Day 15 to have transmitters with temperature sensors and ECG electrodes implanted. After surgery, three controls and three implanted birds from each diet group were kept in individual cages and exposed to 23 h of light and 1 h of darkness during each 24-h cycle. Implantation did not affect weight gain between Days 13 and 22 (P = 0.396). Temperature measurements and 1-min ECG were taken every 15 min. Heart rate and heart rate variability were measured from three 2-s segments in two dark and two light period samples during Days 17 to 19. Diet B decreased weight gain (P = 0.045), lowered heart rate (P < 0.0001), and increased internal temperature (P < 0.0001). Heart rate variability was lower during dark versus light periods (P = 0.004), which indicates that the birds rested during the dark periods, but was not affected by diet (P = 0.651). Thus, biotelemetry provided a useful method for intermittent physiological monitoring of poultry on different diets and under changing environmental conditions.}, number={6}, journal={POULTRY SCIENCE}, author={Blanchard, SM and Degernes, LA and DeWolf, DK and Garlich, JD}, year={2002}, month={Jun}, pages={887–891} } @book{introduction to biomedical engineering_2000, ISBN={0122386604}, publisher={San Diego, CA: Academic Press}, year={2000} } @article{young_blanchard_white_johnson_smith_ideker_2000, title={Using an artificial neural network to detect activations during ventricular fibrillation}, volume={33}, ISSN={["0010-4809"]}, DOI={10.1006/cbmr.1999.1530}, abstractNote={Ventricular fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia that can result in sudden death. Understanding and treatment of this disorder would be improved if patterns of electrical activation could be accurately identified and studied during fibrillation. A feedforward artificial neural network using backpropagation was trained with the Rule-Based Method and the Current Source Density Method to identify cardiac tissue activation during fibrillation. Another feedforward artificial neural network that used backpropagation was trained with data preprocessed by those methods and the Transmembrane Current Method. Staged training, a new method that uses different sets of training examples in different stages, was used to improve the ability of the artificial neural networks to detect activation. Both artificial neural networks were able to correctly classify more than 92% of new test examples. The performance of both artificial neural networks improved when staged training was used. Thus, artificial neural networks may beuseful for identifying activation during ventricular fibrillation.}, number={1}, journal={COMPUTERS AND BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH}, author={Young, MT and Blanchard, SM and White, MW and Johnson, EE and Smith, WM and Ideker, RE}, year={2000}, month={Feb}, pages={43–58} } @article{blanchard_dewolf_ekwueme okoli_degernes_garlich_1997, title={Heart rate and heart rate variability in male broilers at risk for sudden death syndrome}, volume={25}, number={1}, journal={Annals of Biomedical Engineering}, author={Blanchard, S.
