3D Indoor Positioning of UAVs with Spread Spectrum Ultrasound and Time-of-Flight Cameras

Sensors, 2017
This work proposes the use of a hybrid acoustic and optical indoor positioning system for the accurate 3D positioning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The acoustic module of this system is based on a Time-Code Division Multiple Access (T-CDMA) scheme,

Sensory imagery in craving: From cognitive psychology to new treatments for addiction [PDF]

, 2012
Sensory imagery is a powerful tool for inducing craving because it is a key component of the cognitive system that underpins human motivation. The role of sensory imagery in motivation is explained by Elaborated Intrusion (EI) theory.

Immune System as a Sensory System

International Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
As suggested by the well-known gestalt concept the immune system can be regarded as an integrated complex system, the functioning of which cannot be fully characterized by the behavior of its constituent elements. Similar approaches to the immune system in particular and sensory systems in general allows one to discern similarities and differences in ...

Midterm results of revision total hip arthroplasty for migrated bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients with hip osteoarthritis using cementless cup with the rim-fit technique

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2020
Purpose: The results of reamed bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) are reported to be unfavorable. Acetabular reaming for sufficient bony coverage caused bipolar head migration into the superomedial direction, and most

Calculation of the Coupling Coefficient in Step-Index Multimode Polymer Optical Fibers Based on the Far-Field Measurements

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
Using the power flow equation (PFE), this article investigates mode coupling in step-index (SI) multimode (MM) polymer optical fiber (POF). This equation’s coupling coefficient was initially fine-tuned so that it could appropriately reconstruct ...

Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to articular cartilage homeostasis through lubricin induction in the superficial zone

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Both loss- and gain-of-function of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in chondrocytes result in exacerbation of osteoarthritis (OA). Here, we examined the activity and roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the superficial zone (SFZ) of articular cartilage.

Epilepsy and the Sensory Systems [PDF]

Epilepsy Currents, 2016
The relations of epilepsy and the sensory systems are bidirectional. Epilepsy may act on sensory systems by producing sensory seizure symptoms, by altering sensory performance, and by epilepsy treatment causing sensory side effects. Sensory system activity may have an important role in both generation and inhibition of seizures.

Excessive mechanical loading promotes osteoarthritis through the gremlin-1–NF-κB pathway

Nature Communications, 2019
Excessive mechanical stress promotes the development of osteoarthritis. Here Chang et al. identify gremlin-1 as a factor expressed in chondrocytes in response to mechanical stress, and contributing to osteoarthritis via activation of the NF-κB pathway.

Heatwave-Like Events During Development Are Sufficient to Impair Bumblebee Worker Responses to Sensory Stimuli

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Heatwaves are increasingly common globally and are known to have detrimental impacts on animal morphology and behaviour. These impacts can be severe, especially if heatwaves occur during development, even on animals that can regulate the temperature of ...
