Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Space debris contributions to night sky brightness

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. We quantify the uncertainty in space debris contributions to night sky brightness by comparing predictions from two major debris environment models and assessing the resulting signal-to-noise degradation for ground-based astronomical observations ...

The Planck Telescope

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2002
In this paper we present an overview of the Telescope designed for ESA's mission dedicated to map the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies and Polarization. Two instruments, LFI and HFI, operate in an overall frequency range between 25 and 900 GHz and share the focal region of the 1.5 meter optimized telescope.

CD9+ B Cells Induce T Follicular Helper Cell Apoptosis to Regulate Germinal Center Regression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A unique subset of CD9+ B cells regulates germinal center B (GC‐B) cell regression by inducing T follicular helper (Tfh) cell apoptosis through multiple signaling pathways, such as ALCAM‐CD6. FOXP1 plays a key role in GC‐B cell differentiation. These findings clarify mechanisms of GC degeneration and termination and offer potential targets for adenoid ...

The large size telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2014
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project aims to implement the world’s largest next generation of Very High Energy gamma-ray Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes devoted to the observation from a few tens of GeV to more than 100 TeV. To view the whole sky, two CTA sites are foreseen, one for each hemisphere.

Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum for Image Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum (SHWB), a rotation‐ and translation‐invariant descriptor that captures higher‐order (phase) correlations in signals, is introduced. Combining wavelet scattering, bispectral analysis, and group theory, SHWB achieves interpretable, data‐efficient representations and demonstrates competitive performance across texture,

To Upgrade a Telescope? [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974
The effectiveness of existing telescopes can often be greatly enhanced through upgrading. Two important questions which should be answered in the planning stage are discussed, based on recent experience in upgrading two Lowell Observatory telescopes.

The effects of atmosphere conditions on gamma-ray astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The High Energetic Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) experiment is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov (IAC) telescopes of the next generation, with enlarged mirrors and advanced detector electronics compared to its predecessors.

The UVIT telescopes on board the ISRO Astrosat Observatory

open access: yes, 2014
UVIT consists of two co-aligned 38cm telescopes that provide 3c1 arsec resolution imaging over 28 arcmin fields, in FUV, NUV, and Visible bands simultaneously. Each channel has a choice of filters, and, for the UV channels, gratings.
