Towards Investigating Global Warming Impact on Human Health Using Derivatives of Photoplethysmogram Signals
Recent clinical studies show that the contour of the photoplethysmogram (PPG) wave contains valuable information for characterizing cardiovascular activity. However, analyzing the PPG wave contour is difficult; therefore, researchers have applied first or higher order derivatives to emphasize and conveniently quantify subtle changes in the filtered PPG contour. Our hypothesis is that analyzing the whole PPG recording rather than each PPG wave con…
Parrondo’s Capital and History-Dependent Games
It has been shown that it is possible to construct two games that when played individually lose, but alternating randomly or deterministically between them can win. This apparent paradox has been dubbed “Parrondo’s paradox.” The original games are capital-dependent, which means that the winning and losing probabilities depend on how much capital the player currently has. Recently, new games have been devised, that are not capital-dependent, but h…
Simple derivation of the thermal noise formula using window-limited Fourier transforms and other conundrums
A simple theoretical derivation for obtaining the Johnson thermal noise formula using window-limited Fourier transforms is presented in detail for the first time, utilizing the well-known energy theorems. In the literature, a diverse range of alternative methods already exist, and the pedagogical value of the Fourier transform approach illustrates useful mathematical principles, taught at the undergraduate level, naturally highlighting a number o…
