Wireless sensor networks and structural health monitoring: Experiences with slab track infrastructures

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2019
Slab track systems have the potential to become a more sustainable option for high-speed railway infrastructures than traditional ballasted tracks. Traditionally, the systems that monitor these infrastructures have been costly, but advances in the last ...

The AMBU® Aura‐i™ Laryngeal Mask and LMA Supreme™: A Randomized Trial of Clinical Performance and Fibreoptic Positioning in Unparalysed, Anaesthetised Patients by Novices

Anesthesiology Research and Practice, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Introduction. Manikin studies’ data cannot accurately be extrapolated to real‐life scenarios and inherent differences in design and materials of newer products may affect their clinical performance. Methods. Hence, we compared the AMBU® Aura‐i™ and LMA Supreme™ in this randomized trial involving 100 ASA 1‐2 unparalysed anaesthetised patients undergoing

Synaptic Function and Sensory Processing in ZDHHC9‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder: A Mechanistic Account

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 61, Issue 9, May 2025.
In the current study, we employed a bottom‐up approach to study the impact of synaptic‐level alterations associated with ZDHHC9 variants on cortical function in healthy and ZDHHC9‐deficient participants. To achieve this, a recurrent neural network model was employed to recapitulate MEG‐derived auditory‐evoked responses and subsequently perturbed in ...

Influence of Near Tasks on Posture in Myopic Chinese Schoolchildren

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 908-915, August 2015., 2015
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate near‐vision posture in Chinese myopic schoolchildren and compare near‐vision posture during different near‐vision tasks (i.e., playing video games, reading, and writing). Methods The study investigated 120 myopic children (grades 1 through 6 and aged 6 to 13 years).

Parameterized Fast and Safe Tracking (FaSTrack) using Deepreach

CoRR
Fast and Safe Tracking (FaSTrack) is a modular framework that provides safety guarantees while planning and executing trajectories in real time via value functions of Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability. These value functions are computed through dynamic programming, which is notorious for being computationally inefficient.

A Vision‐Based Method for Autonomous Landing of a Rotor‐Craft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 171-177, 2006., 2006
This article introduces a real‐time vision‐based method for guided autonomous landing of a rotor‐craft unmanned aerial vehicle. In the process of designing the pattern of landing target, we have fully considered how to make this easier for simplified identification and calibration. A linear algorithm was also applied using a three‐dimensional structure

Objective assessment tools in laparoscopic or robotic‐assisted gynecological surgery: A systematic review

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 103, Issue 8, Page 1480-1497, August 2024.
There is a plethora of objective assessment tools in minimally invasive gynecological surgery. Further validation of already existing tools and integration of advanced technologies like kinematic data, should increase the usability in training curriculums.

Safe Returning FaSTrack With Robust Control Lyapunov-Value Functions

IEEE Control Systems Letters
Real-time navigation in a priori unknown environment remains a challenging task, especially when an unexpected (unmodeled) disturbance occurs. In this paper, we propose the framework Safe Returning Fast and Safe Tracking (SR-F) that merges concepts from 1) Robust Control Lyapunov-Value Functions (R-CLVF), and 2) the Fast and Safe Tracking (FaSTrack ...
