The Effect of Religiosity and Religious Festivals on Positional Concerns: An Experimental Investigation of Ramadan [PDF]

This paper examines the effect of religion on positional concerns using survey experiments. We focus on two of the dimensions of religion – degree of religiosity and religious festivals. By conducting the experiments during both the most important day of

Anesthetic Management of Hirayama Disease with Autonomic Dysfunction: Role of Heart Rate Variability

Journal of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care
Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare cervical flexion myelopathy associated with subclinical autonomic dysfunction (AD). Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), though uncommon, may predispose to perioperative instability.

Splay Nematic Phase

Physical Review X, 2018
Different liquid crystalline phases with long-range orientational but not positional order, so-called nematic phases, are scarce. New nematic phases are rarely discovered, and such an event inevitably generates much interest.

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Backpropagation Through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain–Body Coupling Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.
