Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to enhance singularity detection in non-stationary signals by introducing the frugal wavelet transform (FrugWT), a novel variation of the wavelet transform.

Design/methodology/approach

The frugal wavelet transform, based on a modified first-level discrete wavelet transform decomposition, is compared with traditional discrete wavelet transform. The performance of these transforms is evaluated using signals derived from finite element analysis of a functionally graded tapered beam made of porous material.

Findings

The frugal wavelet transform significantly outperforms the discrete wavelet transform in detecting singularities within the analyzed signals. It offers more accurate detection of singularities and local abrupt changes, demonstrating its effectiveness for signal analysis.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to the field by proposing the relative frugal wavelet transform as a novel enhancement of the frugal wavelet transform. It provides a significant improvement in detecting subtle singularities in one-dimensional signals, with potential applications in advanced signal processing and analysis across various scientific domains such as electrical engineering, automotive, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, marine engineering and medical signal processing.

Abstract

Purpose

This article attempts to contribute to medical dispute resolution by examining the adoption of medical judicial expertise opinions in determining medical malpractice responsibility and its coordination with the judge’s legal opinions.

Design/methodology/approach

This article examines the legal basis and empirical data to demonstrate the decisive effect of medical judicial experts’ opinions in allocating medical malpractice responsibility and corresponding dispute resolution effectiveness.

Findings

High reliance on medical judicial expertise in medical dispute litigation not only unifies the judicial standards but also limits judges’ discretion, which brings the risk of contradiction between factual and legal findings, which currently ends in judges’ compromise.

Originality/value

The current medical malpractice provisions neglect the divergence of medical judicial expertise and judges’ opinions in determining medical malpractice responsibility, which produces difficulties in harmonizing awarded compensations and parties’ expectations, leading to problematic medical dispute litigation in Mainland China.
