Sandwich Miura‐Ori Enabled Large Area, Super Resolution Tactile Skin for Human–Machine Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sandwich Miura‐ori based tactile skin achieves large area sensing and super resolution, due to the interactions between different cells. It can also decouple external loads because of the special deformation mechanism. The curved tactile skin can be installed on robotic arms and achieve straightforward control and interactions, showing its great ...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of extended thromboprophylaxis with rivaroxaban versus no prophylaxis in high-risk patients after hospitalisation for COVID-19: an economic modelling studyResearch in context

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas, 2023
Summary: Background: In patients at high risk of thromboembolism who were discharged after hospitalisation due to COVID-19, thromboprophylaxis with rivaroxaban 10 mg/day for 35 days significantly improved clinical outcomes, reducing thrombotic events ...

Cost-effectiveness of two versus three or more doses of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria during pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa: a modelling study of meta-analysis and cost data

The Lancet Global Health, 2015
Background: In 2012, WHO changed its recommendation for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria during pregnancy (IPTp) from two doses to monthly doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine during the second and third trimesters, but noted the importance of ...

Online Dominating Set [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
This paper is devoted to the online dominating set problem and its variants. We believe the paper represents the first systematic study of the effect of two limitations of online algorithms: making irrevocable decisions while not knowing the future, and being incremental, i.e., having to maintain solutions to all prefixes of the input.

Enhancing Grasping Function with a Thermoresponsive Ionogel Adhesive Glove for Patients with Rheumatic Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel portable grasp‐assist glove, weighing only 47 g. The glove integrates smart adhesive pads and a hands‐free control interface based on IMU, designed to aid rheumatic patients with impaired hand function. The system enables switchable adhesion with independent control and detection of user release intent.

Efficiently Exploring Ordering Problems through Conflict-directed Search [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In planning and scheduling, solving problems with both state and temporal constraints is hard since these constraints may be highly coupled. Judicious orderings of events enable solvers to efficiently make decisions over sequences of actions to satisfy complex hybrid specifications. The ordering problem is thus fundamental to planning.

Enhanced Broadband Acoustic Absorption in Commercial Foam via Multiwall Carbon Nanotube‐Induced Pore Reconstruction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A simple to multiscale structure transition happens when a commercial porous foam is filled with multiwall carbon nanotubes with high aspect ratio. For an acoustic absorber with a porous material, the loading of multiwall carbon nanotubes can significantly improve its specific surface area while preserving its thickness and high porosity, thus enables ...
