We have developed a set of user-friendly programs for nonlinear time series analysis, with the aim of enabling its integration into the curriculum at an early stage of the educational process. The programs can also be used for research purposes, as can be concluded from several publications that were published in internationally renowned journals, where these programs have been used.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 12217366A significant proportion of patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) can only be defibrillated after a period of chest compressions and ventilation before the defibrillation attempt. In these patients, unsuccessful defibrillations increase the duration of heart arrest and reduce the possibility of a successful resuscitation, which could be avoided if we could reliably predict the success of defibrillation. We present a new method for estimating the irregularity in very short electrocardiographic recordings that enables the prediction of a successful defibrillation in patients with VF.
F.21 Development of new health/diagnostic methods/procedures
COBISS.SI-ID: 15267080Methods of non-equilibrium statistical physics applied in the context of evolutionary game theory indicate that social diversity is beneficial for the evolution of cooperation, and that highly heterogeneous social states may appear spontaneously via very simple coevolutionary rules from an initially non-preferential setup. In essence, the findings convey the potentially disturbing message that large differences in status may arise spontaneously, and although they might evoke discomfort within the majority that is disprivileged, they are vital for keeping the population in a cooperative state.
