Evaluation of prognostic models to improve prediction of metastasis in patients following potentially curative treatment for primary colorectal cancer: the PROSPECT trial

Health Technology Assessment
Background Despite apparently curative treatment, many patients with colorectal cancer develop subsequent metastatic disease. Current prognostic models are criticised because they are based on standard staging and omit novel biomarkers.

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

Whole-school interventions promoting student commitment to school to prevent substance use and violence, and improve educational attainment: a systematic review

Public Health Research
Background Whole-school interventions modify the school environment to promote health. A subset of these interventions promotes student commitment to school to prevent substance (tobacco, alcohol, other drugs) use and/or violence.

Evaluation of a self-instructional package for teaching tutors to conduct discrete-trials teaching with children with autism [PDF]

Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2012
Abstract A widely used method for teaching children with autism is applied behavior analysis (ABA), and a main component of ABA programming is discrete-trials teaching (DTT). Using a modified multiple-baseline design across participants, we assessed the effectiveness of a DTT self-instructional package ( Fazzio & Martin, 2007 ) for teaching four ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

The Effectiveness of Discrete Trial Training in Teaching Writing

ACADEMIA International Journal for Social Sciences
The main objective of this case study was to enable the child to write their name independently. The intervention was implemented on child X using Discrete Trial Training (DTT), a structured teaching technique grounded in the principles of ABA. Initially child X’ behavior was observed for 10 days in a natural environment to establish a baseline ...

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...
