While modern medical institutions are wellequipped to treat patients with diagnosed mental conditions, people with milder symptoms areseldom able to receive necessary treatment due to their condition not falling under the requireddiagnostic criteria [6]. Without access to medical diagnosis and treatment, many such individualscontinue to suffer from their mild/medium symptoms until their condition deteriorates to thepoint of needing necessary medical attention, resulting in the need for more effective andaccessible diagnostic techniques to prevent mild mental disorders from regressing.

However,this state is also related to a group of other properties, such as pressure (P), internal energy,enthalpy and entropy (s). As there are six properties commonly associated with a state, one canconstruct up to C62 different diagrams. However, as P and T are two properties that can bemeasured easily, they are often considered as the primary properties. Just as in quantummechanics, P and T are associated with two complementary properties v and s, and the product ofeach pair has the dimension of specific energy.Thermodynamics problems often involve some processes, i.e., transitions of

The output from the ECD is an analog voltage signal (0-5 V) which canbe directed to a data acquisition system for storage.
