Path planning of a mobile robot among curved obstacles through tangent drawing and trapezoidal decomposition

Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2021
Most of the previous studies on mobile robot path planning consider the obstacles as polygons. However, the complex shaped obstacles should be considered as curves rather than polygons, since the latter may result in non-optimal paths.

TAD disruption as oncogenic driver [PDF]

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016
Topologically Associating Domains (TADs) are conserved during evolution and play roles in guiding and constraining long-range regulation of gene expression. Disruption of TAD boundaries results in aberrant gene expression by exposing genes to inappropriate regulatory elements. Recent studies have shown that TAD disruption is often found in cancer cells

Inhibition of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor 2 Prevents Thoracic Aortic Dissection and Rupture

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Numerous pieces of evidence have indicated that thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is an inflammatory disease. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) signaling is a driver in multiple inflammatory diseases.

Role and regulation of the Flp/Tad pilus in the virulence of Pectobacterium atrosepticum SCRI1043 and Pectobacterium wasabiae SCC3193. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In this study, we characterized a putative Flp/Tad pilus-encoding gene cluster, and we examined its regulation at the transcriptional level and its role in the virulence of potato pathogenic enterobacteria of the genus Pectobacterium.

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.
