Implantation‐On‐Chip: An AI‐Based Platform for Monitoring the Embryo Trophoblast–Endometrial Stroma Cross Talk With Xenobiotics Interference

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a novel AI‐integrated implantation‐on‐chip platform that enables mimicking and monitoring the maternal–fetal interactions at the early phases of human embryo implantation with high spatiotemporal resolution. The complexity of the trophoblast invasion process was addressed by conducting the analysis at global (rate of invasion) and local ...

Distributed State Estimation for Mobile Robots in LiDAR Sensor Networks With Intermittent Inertial Measurements

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable distributed observer framework for LiDAR sensor networks is presented for robust tracking and pose estimation of mobile robots. By combining adaptable 3D detection, clustering‐based communication reduction, and intermittent inertial fusion, accurate and efficient estimation is achieved under occlusions and sensing constraints, with formally ...

A Scalable and Resource‐Efficient Pipelined p‐Computer for Probabilistic Ising Machines

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
(a) Block diagram of the portfolio optimization problem: given M assets, the goal is to determine the optimal weights w that maximize the expected return (based on the mean historical assets return u), while minimizing the risk, quantified by the assets covariance matrix S.

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.
