In Situ Cane Toad Recognition [PDF]
2018 Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications (DICTA),
Canberra, Australia, 2018, pp. 1-7, 2019 Cane toads are invasive, toxic to native predators, compete with native insectivores, and have a devastating impact on Australian ecosystems, prompting the Australian government to list toads as a key threatening process under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

A Multi-Sensor Matched Filter Approach to Robust Segmentation of Assisted Gait
Sensors, 2018 Individuals with mobility impairments related to age, injury, or disease, often require the help of an assistive device (AD) such as a cane to ambulate, increase safety, and improve overall stability.

Shrinkage of cane (Arundo donax L.) II Effect of drying condition on the intensity of cell collapse [PDF]
Journal of Wood Science 51 (2005) 130-135, 2005 To improve the drying method in the manufacture of woodwind reeds, green canes (Arundo donax L.) were dried under various humidity-temperature conditions and the intensity of cell collapse was evaluated from the swelling due to steaming involving the recovery of collapse. At 30 C, the intensity of collapse was increased by slower drying.

CANE: A Cascade-Control Approach for Network-Assisted Video QoE Management [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Prior efforts have shown that network-assisted schemes can improve the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) and QoE fairness when multiple video players compete for bandwidth. However, realizing network-assisted schemes in practice is challenging, as: i) the network has limited visibility into the client players' internal state and actions; ii) players' actions

Robotic Cane as a Soft SuperLimb for Elderly Sit-to-Stand Assistance [PDF]
2020 3rd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2020 Many researchers have identified robotics as a potential solution to the aging population faced by many developed and developing countries. If so, how should we address the cognitive acceptance and ambient control of elderly assistive robots through design?

New Transferrin Receptor‐Targeting Conjugate Effectively Delivers DNA to Mouse Brain
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We present a novel RNA aptamer targeting the transferrin receptor (TfR), conjugated with DSPE lipid, which achieves remarkably efficient brain uptake, reaching brain‐to‐serum ratios as high as 6.5. Through fluorescence imaging and polymerase‐chain reaction analyses, we verify that this new conjugate successfully delivers a substantial amount of DNA ...

Animal-assisted interventions as innovative tools for mental health
Annali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità, 2011 There is a growing interest for the potential health benefits of human-animal interactions. Although scientific evidence on the effects is far from being consistent, companion animals are used with a large number of human subjects, ranging from children ...
