Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Convex Approximation by Quadratic Splines
Journal of Approximation Theory, 1993 The author estimates the error of approximation by \(C^ 1\)-convex quadratic splines of a given convex function \(f\) without any smoothness requirements on its derivative in terms of \(\omega_ 3(f,{1 \over n})\). Actually, he proves the following main Theorem: Let \(f \in C[0,1]\) be a convex, and \(n\) a positive integer.

Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work introduces a novel bioelectric navigation system eliminates the need for harmful fluoroscopy during endovascular surgeries. A bespoke 16‐electrode catheter is fabricated using rapid thermal drawing and laser micro‐machining. Paired with a real‐time tracking algorithm fusing vascular geometry detection and distance estimation, this technology ...

Bronchoscope Tip Localization With Learned Airway Constraints and an Open Source Simulator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.BronchoLoc addresses feature‐poor bronchoscopic imaging by combining monocular video with a preoperative CT graph to estimate 3D camera location. A local tracker identifies candidate branches, while a sequence‐aware global module refines the trajectory. Demonstrating sub‐centimeter accuracy across synthetic and phantom datasets, this framework advances

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Nonholonomic motion planning for a free-falling cat using spline approximation
, 2012 An optimal motion planning of a free-falling cat based on the spline approximation is investigated. Nonholonomicity arises in a free-falling cat subjected to nonintegrable velocity constraints or nonintegrable conservation laws.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.
