Toward Prostate Cancer Early Warning with a Self‐Powered Wearable Biosensing Platform Integrated with Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current prostate cancer detection methods remain limited in non‐invasiveness and specificity, prompting interest in urinary biomarkers such as sarcosine. Here, we report a urine‐powered wearable platform for non‐invasive sarcosine detection as a proof‐of‐concept for decentralized early warning.

On the observability of decentralized dynamic systems

Information and Control, 1974
Summary: This paper introduces a new concept of observability based on the information set possessed by a local control station in decentralized dynamic system. Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the initial state observability, present state reconstructibility, and strong observability by the local control station.
