A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Responsible Artificial Intelligence in Courts: A Four‐Test Framework

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A structured framework for responsible AI applications relating to judicial decision‐making and the adjudicative functions of courts requires the satisfaction of multiple context‐specific safeguards. This article proposes a four‐test framework designed to evaluate whether AI systems used in courts operate in accordance with legal, procedural ...

Computational geometry of positive definiteness

, 2012
In matrix computations, such as in factoring matrices, Hermitian and, preferably, positive definite elements are occasionally required. Related problems can often be cast as those of existence of respective elements in a matrix subspace.

Premium subsidy designs and crowding out of insurance demand

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers against extreme weather events. Many countries provide subsidies for crop insurance products to make insurance more affordable for farmers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program in the United States and major European crop insurance programs such as in Spain, Italy, and France focus on ...

The EXPLAIN Study: Exploring Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita in Adults in Norway — A Description of Demographic, Medical, and Neurological Findings

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) encompasses several hundred conditions with diverse genetic, pathophysiological, and clinical origins. The overarching EXPLAIN study explores underlying causes and implications of AMC and represents the largest clinical cohort of adults with AMC reported to date.

Expectations and Reality: The Lived Experiences of Australians With Psychosocial Disability Within the NDIS

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was founded on principles of choice and control, for people with significant mental health challenges (what the NDIS calls ‘psychosocial disability’) these ideals often remain elusive. Support systems continue to be fractured and in the context of ongoing policy reforms, it is vital

Rate and Shape of Functional Decline in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Identify Clinically Distinct Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Phenotypes

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The ALS Functional Rating Scale–Revised decline rate compresses trajectory shape into a single number, potentially missing distinct phenotypes. We tested whether shape identifies phenotypes that rate does not distinguish, and whether post‐hoc analysis recovers a hidden ultrarapid subgroup. Methods From the Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta register (

Novel Interdigitated Electrode Conductometric Sensor for Rapid, Sensitive, and Selective Detection of cTnI Biomarkers in Saliva

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A miniaturized high resistivity silicon‐based interdigitated conductometric sensor detects cTnI at sub‐femtomolar levels with high selectivity. The device enables noninvasive testing using artificial and pooled human saliva in real‐time electrical readings. This portable biosensor offers a promising futuristic medical device providing new opportunities

Seasonal Fluctuations of Plastochromanol‐8 and α‐Tocopherol Amounts in the Leaves of Cecropia Trees

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastochromanol‐8 (PC‐8) is a homologue of γ‐tocotrienol with a longer side chain (eight instead of three isoprene units) and therefore also a representative of the tocochromanol (vitamin E) group. PC‐8 has been determined in various plants and seeds, with Cecropia sp. leaves showing unusually high levels.

Positive definiteness and Fell bundles over discrete groups [PDF]

We introduce a natural concept of positive definiteness for bundle maps between Fell bundles over (possibly different) discrete groups and describe several examples. Such maps induce completely positive maps between the associated full cross-sectional $C^
