The color change of the specimens were measured using CIE L∗a∗b∗ color space system.
Three kinds of specimens were fabricated and their reflection losses in the X-band were measured using the free space technique.
After a pause of 5-20 min, tidal breathing parameters [tidal volume (VT); respiratory rate (RR); and minute ventilation (V'E) were measured using the dead-space free flow-through technique employing customized equipment that has been described in detail elsewhere [ 27].
Therefore at the optimal value of the DDP, separation of classes as measured using the Manhattan distance in PC space is maximized because of this enhancement.
