Robust control of multi-joint robotic arm visual servoing based on neural network and adaptive command filtering

This paper proposes a multi joint robotic arm visual servo robust control strategy based on neural networks and daptive command filtering, aiming to solve dynamic uncertainty and nonlinear problems. By constructing an image plane feature point error model and deriving the image J...

Orthopedic Biomaterials in the Clinical Reconstruction of Osteoporotic Atlantoaxial Injuries: A Review

Background: Aging of the population increases the incidence of osteoporosis with atlantoaxial instability. Poor bone microarchitecture causes high rates of screw loosening, implant failure, and revision surgery, which remains a critical challenge for upper cervical surgery. Tradi...

Selective Recovery of Lithium from Spent LiFePO4 Cathode Powder Using the [BSO3HMIm]HSO4–H2O2 System

Abstract The recycling of spent LiFePO4 cathodes is critical for meeting the growing demand for lithium and reducing dependence on primary mining. Conventional hydrometallurgical routes are typically limited by high reagent consumption, poor selectivity, and secondary pollution,...

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation with a Time-Controlled Adaptive Ventilation Strategy (APRV-TCAV) Reverses Endotracheal Secretion Movement Compared with Volume-Control Ventilation: A Bench Study

Background/Objectives: Retained airway secretions are a common complication of mechanical ventilation and a major contributor to ventilator-associated pneumonia. Airway Pressure Release Ventilation following a Time-Controlled Adaptive Ventilation protocol (APRV-TCAV) has been ane...

Integrating Wine Tourism and Cultural Heritage Through a Georeferenced Wine Map: A Tool for Sustainable Territorial Development in Basilicata (Southern Italy)

Wine tourism is increasingly recognized as a key driver of sustainable rural development and the integrated enhancement of cultural heritage. However, in many production areas, including Southern Italy, the sector remains fragmented, with limited integration between wine producti...

Multiscale synergistic design for enhanced energy storage performance in Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 -based lead-free dielectrics under various electric fields

Abstract Dielectric capacitors have been recognized as promising devices for advanced pulse power systems due to their high-power density and fast charge-discharge rates. The dielectrics must simultaneously achieve large energy storage density and high efficiency to support the r...

Negotiating global and local cultures: Indonesian teachers’ views on cultural content in an international EFL textbook

This study examines how Indonesian EFL teachers interpret and negotiate cultural representations in an international English textbook. It explores the interplay between globally oriented cultural content and learners’ local sociocultural realities. Addressing the limited attentio...

17. Predictors of Post-Concussion Sleep Quality in Adolescents Throughout Recovery

Abstract Purpose Post-concussion sleep dysregulation is associated with greater symptom severity and slower recovery. In adolescents, post-injury sleep quality is associated with widespread decreased white matter integrity at 7+ days post-injury, but not before that, suggesting t...

African Economic Growth Revisited

ABSTRACT This paper presents an updated analysis of the patterns of economic development in Africa over the last 60 years. The analysis stresses the heterogeneity of development trajectories among sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries. We examine the joint dynamics of income and po...

Clinical assessment and management of bone health in non-metastatic breast cancer patients: a best practice implementation project

INTRODUCTION: Non-metastatic breast cancer survivors are at higher risk of developing musculoskeletal diseases, including bone metastases, bone loss, pain, osteoporosis, and fractures. Bone health issues may affect patients' quality of life and even reduce survival. Effective ass...

Native Amine-DirectedNiH-Catalyzed Markovnikov Hydroalkynylationof Unactivated Alkenes

Abstract The native amine-directed hydroalkynylation of unactivated alkenes remains a significant challenge because of the strong coordination ability of free amines and the difficulty in controlling regioselectivity during alkene functionalization. Herein, we report a NiH-cataly...

Concurrent validity of markerless motion capture for occupational lifting: Kinematics and ergonomic risk assessment

Markerless motion capture has the potential to enhance ergonomic risk assessment, but evidence remains limited for occupational manual handling tasks of increasing complexity. This study compared a multi-view system (OpenCap) and a monocular system (MediaPipe) against a marker-ba...

Painful temporomandibular disorders, sleep bruxism, and anxiety symptoms in adolescents: a cross-sectional study

To analyze the association between painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD), sleep bruxism, and anxiety symptoms in adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 497 adolescents aged 14-19 years. Data were collected on sociodemographic characteristics, painful temporom...

Robust LigandDocking into Challenging Hydrated BindingPockets

Abstract Correctly positioning water molecules at the drug-target interface is a major challenge in structure-based drug design. Predicting how water structure reorganizes during drug docking into the target pocket is particularly difficult. Previously, a molecular dynamics-based...

An autopsy study of a patient with refractory status epilepticus: MRI findings and histopathological correlation

Abstract Background Status epilepticus (SE) has been defined as a seizure that persists for more than 5 min. If SE persists despite benzodiazepine and appropriately dosed antiseizure medications, it could be regarded as refractory SE (RSE). New-onset refractory status epilepticus...

CatalyticPerformance and Reaction Mechanism of Coand Zn-Codoped Fe Catalysts on Different Supports for CO2 Hydrogenation

Abstract Metal oxides are commonly used as supports for catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. However, systematic studies on the influence of different metal oxide supports on the catalytic performance of catalysts for light olefin production remain limited. Therefore, a series of cob...

Diffuse Long-segment Colonic Wall Thickening Mimicking Abdominal Tuberculosis: A Diagnostic Challenge Revealing Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma in a 24-year-old Male

ABSTRACT: Long-segment bowel wall thickening with ascites and omental involvement is usually attributed to abdominal tuberculosis, particularly in areas endemic to tuberculosis. However, certain cancers, like diffuse infiltrative colorectal carcinomas, can mimic the imaging findi...

Indicators for the environmental assessment of semi-natural pasture-based meat production: a Swedish case study

Background and objectives: Livestock production affects the environment both positively and negatively, making assessment complex. This case study compiled and applied a set of indicators to assess the environmental impacts on five farms with meat production using semi-natural gr...

The Effects of Collecting Bovine Milk Samples Premilking and Postmilking on the Results of Bacteriologic Analysis and Somatic Cell Count

Milk sample collection before attaching the milking cluster for bacteriological and cytological examination is a standard clinical diagnostic procedure in dairy production. Collecting samples premilking can be difficult under certain field conditions. Therefore, we aimed to deter...

Correlated insulator Moiré bolometer

Light incident on an insulator is generally not expected to turn it into a metal without invoking intense ultrafast excitation that leads to transient structural transitions. Here we show that magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene tuned to half filling of the moiré band provides a...
