Flight of the Future: An Experimental Analysis of Event‐Based Vision for Online Perception Onboard Flapping‐Wing Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A thorough analysis of event‐based vision for flapping‐wing robots is presented, with emphasis on hardware integration, suitability under challenging flight conditions, and real‐time performance. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate how these sensors enable robust and efficient onboard perception for ornithopters, thereby advancing autonomy

Aerodynamic Force and Flow Structures of Two Airfoils in Flapping Motions [PDF]

open access: yespublished in Acta Mechanica Sinica (English Series), 2001,No.17,pp310-331, 2004
Aerodynamic force and flow structures of two airfoils in tandem configuration performing flapping motions are studied, using the method of solving the Navier-Stokes equations in moving overset grids. Three typical phase differences between the fore- and aft-airfoil flapping cycles are considered.

Phenotypic Expansion of Knobloch Syndrome Type 2 in an Individual With a De Novo PAK2 Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT P21‐activated kinase 2 (PAK2) is a serine/threonine kinase essential for a variety of cellular processes including signal transduction, cellular survival, proliferation, and migration. A recent report proposed monoallelic PAK2 variants cause Knobloch syndrome type 2 (KNO2)—a developmental disorder primarily characterized by ocular anomalies ...

Revision of perineal urethrostomy using a meshed split-thickness skin graft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Perineal urethrostomy is considered to be the last option to restore voiding in complex/recurrent urethral stricture disease. It is also a necessary procedure after penectomy or urethrectomy.

A new experimental model for studying peripheral nerve regeneration in dual innervated facial reanimation

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Donor nerve selection is a crucial factor for the clinical outcomes of facial reanimation surgery. We designed an animal model to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of dual nerve neurotization approaches using cross‐facial nerve graft and the masseteric nerve in Wistar rats.
