A Low‐Cost, Handheld Optical Stiffness Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel handheld stiffness sensor is presented for real‐time tissue stiffness characterization. By simultaneously sensing contact force and tissue deformation, the device enables accurate stiffness quantification without requiring precise manual control. This approach offers a promising solution for intraoperative tumor detection and minimally invasive

Superconvergence properties of quintic interpolatroy splines
, 1980 Let Q be a quintic spline with equi-spaced knots on [a,b] interpolating a given function y at the knots. The parameters which determine Q are used to construct a piecewise defined polynomial P of degree six.

Multivariate polynomial approximation for equidistant data
, 1964 The theory of polynomial approximation for evenly spaced points is extended to multivariate polynomial approximation. It is also shown how available tables prepared for univariate approximation can be used in the multivariate case.

Dissecting the Ecological Structure of Health and Disease in the Global Gut Microbiome
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We introduce Wiredancer, a framework that identifies three continuous ecological factors of the gut microbiota. These factors exhibit distinct patterns across health and disease, jointly capturing disrupted ecological stability and offering a new perspective for precision diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.

On the Complexity of Optimization over the Standard Simplex
We review complexity results for minimizing polynomials over the standard simplex and unit hypercube.In addition, we show that there exists a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for minimizing Lipschitz continuous functions and functions with ...

An approximation algorithm for a generalized assignment problem with small resource requirements. [PDF]
We investigate a generalized assignment problem where the resource requirements are either 1 or 2. This problem is motivated by a question that arises when data blocks are to be retrieved from parallel disks as efficiently as possible.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...
