Beyond Physical Reach: Comparing Head- and Cane-Mounted Cameras for Last-Mile Navigation by Blind Users [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Blind individuals face persistent challenges in last-mile navigation, including locating entrances, identifying obstacles, and navigating complex or cluttered spaces. Although wearable cameras are increasingly used in assistive systems, there has been no systematic, vantage-focused comparison to guide their design. This paper addresses that gap through

Changes in Renal Function in Elderly Patients Following Intravenous Iodinated Contrast Administration: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesRadiology Research and Practice, 2014
Background. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a recognised complication of intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media (ICM). Previous studies suggest a higher incidence in the elderly, but no large study has assessed this to date.

An LSTM Recurrent Network for Step Counting [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Smartphones with sensors such as accelerometer and gyroscope can be used as pedometers and navigators. In this paper, we propose to use an LSTM recurrent network for counting the number of steps taken by both blind and sighted users, based on an annotated smartphone sensor dataset, WeAllWork. The models were trained separately for sighted people, blind

Mechanisms of Seasonal - ENSO interaction [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1995
The mechanisms of interaction between the seasonal cycle and ENSO are investigated using the Zebiak and Cane ENSO prediction model. The most dominant seasonal effect is found to be due to the wind divergence field, as determined by the seasonal motion of the ITCZ, through its effect on the atmospheric heating. The next order seasonal effects are due to

Recycling and Degradation Pathways of Synthetic Textile Fibers such as Polyamide and Elastane

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.
This review concerns two types of fibers widely used in the textile industry, polyamide and elastane, presenting common recycling types (mechanical and chemical) and focusing on biological pathways. Microbial degradation makes it possible to break down the material into carbon dioxide, water, methane, and mineral salts, while recycling by enzymatic ...

How fences communicate interspecies codes of conduct in the landscape: toward bidirectional communication?

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView., 2023
The fence provides two functions in wildlife management. First, it physically blocks, deters or impedes wild animals from access to protected areas or resources. Second, the fence signals impassability, danger, pain or irritation to animals through both of these pathways: the actual blockade and the signal of no access both communicates to wild animals
