A Lightweight Vision-Guided Framework for Multi-Object Robotic Grasping and Polynomial Spatial Mapping

Robotic grasping based on monocular vision remains challenging due to perception uncertainty, pixel-to-world mapping errors, and a tight per-frame budget. This paper presents a lightweight vision-based multi-object robotic grasping framework that integrates object detection, poly...

Field Assessment of the Safety Action Evaluation Protocol: Construction Safety Climate Focus

Abstract Frontline supervisors play a vital role in shaping the construction safety climate. Critical supervisory safety actions have been developed into the Safety Action Evaluation Protocol (SAEP) and a field assessment undertaken by frontline supervisors to evaluate its effect...

Deep learning feature fusion with transfer learning for Alzheimer’s disease classification

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by irreversible cognitive decline and memory impairment, for which early and accurate diagnosis is critical to enabling timely clinical intervention and disease management. Deep learning-based anal...

Evolution of Twinning During High Strain Rate Tensile Deformation and Fracture in High-Silicon Electrical Steels

In this study, we reveal the evolution of deformation twins and their relationship with mechanical properties in a high-silicon ferritic steel (3.8 wt% Si) subjected to high-strain rate tensile loading (0.67 s⁻¹). The microstructural evolution at different strain levels (ultimate...

Genomic and Transcriptomic Landscapes of MEN1-Wild-Type Low-Grade Metastatic Pancreatic NETs Uncover Key Oncogenic Drivers and Targetable Pathways

Sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) with wild type MEN1 represent a major yet largely ignored subset whose biology and metastatic potential remain poorly understood. Because metastasis can occur despite low histologic grade and modest mutational burden, we hypothesi...

Analytical study on the exposedness of potential positions for external human-machine interfaces

As we move towards a future of autonomous vehicles, questions regarding their method of communication have arisen. One of the common concerns is the placement of the signaling used to communicate with pedestrians and road users, but few works have been fully dedicated to the matt...

Neural encoding of symbolic, non-symbolic, and embodied non-symbolic numerical information in young and older adults

Numeracy has important implications across the lifespan, and age-related decline in this ability represents a vulnerability factor for older adults in managing everyday tasks, yet its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study employed a parity judgment task to examine age-r...

A Wastewater-basedModeling Framework for InferringNorovirus Transmission Dynamics

Abstract Norovirus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis globally, yet its true infection burden in the community remains poorly understood because of widespread asymptomatic transmission and underreporting. Wastewater-based surveillance is a promising approach for tracking infec...
