A systematic review of barriers and facilitators to and interventions for proxy decision-making by family carers of people with dementia

International Psychogeriatrics, 2015
Relatives of people with dementia report that proxy decision-making is difficult and distressing. We systematically reviewed the literature about barriers and facilitators to family carers of people with dementia making proxy decisions, and interventions used to facilitate their decision-making.We searched electronic databases and references of ...

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Generic Machine Learning Inference on Heterogenous Treatment Effects in Randomized Experiments

, 2019
We propose strategies to estimate and make inference on key features of heterogeneous effects in randomized experiments. These key features include best linear predictors of the effects using machine learning proxies, average effects sorted by impact ...

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Highly Resolved Community Sewage Metagenomics Unveiling Landscape and Transmission Patterns of Antibiotic Resistome in Hong Kong Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A large‐scale, high‐resolution antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in Hong Kong community sewage combining short‐ and long‐read sequencing. The resistome profile is comprehensively characterized, and this upstream sampling strategy demonstrated superiority in reflecting the human gut resistome.

Developing a Single‐Cell Spatial Transcriptomics Workflow for In Vivo Evaluation of Implanted Biomaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work establishes a standardized, high‐resolution spatial transcriptomics workflow for characterizing host responses to biomaterial implants. Using the 10× Xenium platform, the pipeline integrates spatial mapping, subclustering, and functional enrichment to resolve immune and stromal cell organization at single‐cell resolution, enabling ...
