Critical Spatial-Temporal Dynamics and Prominent Shape Collapse of Calcium Waves Observed in Human hNT Astrocytes in Vitro

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Networks of neurons are typically studied in the field of Criticality. However, the study of astrocyte networks in the brain has been recently lauded to be of equal importance to that of the neural networks. To date criticality assessments have only been

Criticality-Driven Evolution of Adaptable Morphologies of Voxel-Based Soft-Robots

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
The paradigm of voxel-based soft robots has allowed to shift the complexity from the control algorithm to the robot morphology itself. The bodies of voxel-based soft robots are extremely versatile and more adaptable than the one of traditional robots ...

Communication and Language Profiles of Children Treated for Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive and language deficits are frequently reported sequelae of posterior fossa brain tumors (PFBT). Typically, delayed onset impedes prompt assessment and early intervention. This has devastating implications for quality of life.

Analysis-Runtime Co-Design for EDF-VD-Based Mixed-Criticality Scheduling: Improving Completion Rates of Low-Criticality Jobs

IEEE Access
In this paper, we explore mixed criticality systems, where traditional approaches often adopt a pessimistic stance in managing low-criticality tasks, focusing primarily on ensuring the timely completion of high-criticality tasks. We optimized the “

Patient Activation in Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: Current Insights and Implications for Survivorship Care—A Systematic Review From the e‐QuoL Project

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Patient activation—encompassing knowledge, confidence, and skills in managing individual's health—is a cornerstone of person‐centered care. However, its significance among childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYACS) remains unexplored. This article examines the application of the 13‐item Patient Activation Measure (
