Tanya Berger-Wolf, faculty director of the Translational Data Analytics Institute at The Ohio State University, outlined the state of imageomics in a presentation on Feb. 17, 2024, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "Imageomics is coming of age and is ready for its first major discoveries," Berger-Wolf said in an interview before the meeting. Imageomics is a new interdisciplinary scientific field focused on using machine learning tools to understand the biology of organisms, particularly biological traits, from images. Those images can come from camera traps, satellites, drones-even the vacation photos that tourists take of animals like zebras and whales, said Berger-Wolf, who is director of the Imageomics Institute at Ohio State, funded by the National Science Foundation.

According to news originating from Chicago, Illinois, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The treatment paradigm for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) has shifted towards minimally invasive pyeloplasty. A comparison Single Port (SP) and Multi Port (MP) robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) was performed." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Rush University Medical Center, "Data from consecutive patients undergoing SP RAP or MP RAP between January 2021 and September 2023 were collected and analysed. Co-primary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS), and narcotic dose. The choice of the robotic system depended on the surgeon's preference and availability of a specific robotic platform. A total of 10 SP RAPs and 12 MP RAPs were identified. SP RAP patients were significantly younger [23 years (20-34)] than MP RAP [42 years (35.5- 47.5), p<0.01]. No difference in terms of OT (p = 0.6), LOS (p = 0.1), DVPRS (p = 0.2) and narcotic dose (p = 0.1) between the two groups was observed."

In this magnetoencephalography study with 45 proficient Spanish-Basque bilinguals, we investigated language selection during covert picture naming and word reading tasks. Participants were prompted to name line drawings or read words if the color of the stimulus changed to green, in 10% of trials. The task was performed either in Spanish or Basque. Despite similar sensor-level evoked activity for both languages in both tasks, decoding analyses revealed language-specific classification 100 ms post-stimulus onset. During picture naming, right occipital-temporal sensors predominantly contributed to language decoding, while left occipital-temporal sensors were crucial for decoding during word reading."

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators discuss new findings in robotics. According to news reporting from Melbourne, Australia, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Extensive research has focused on enhancing the efficiency and stability of robotic arms. Sliding mode control (SMC) is commonly used in industrial robots due to its robustness and simplicity." The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology-RMIT University: "However, SMC approaches have challenges such as chattering and slow convergence rates which can compromise tracking accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel Super-Twisting Fast Non-singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control (ST-FNTSMC) strategy for a 3-DOF arm robot. The proposed approach significantly improves trajectory tracking accuracy, robustness, and convergence time and eliminates chattering. The proposed controller was tested in the presence of model mismatches and external disturbances. The super-twisting methodology avoided chattering effects and increased robustness against perturbations. Two Lyapunov functions ensure closed system stability and finite-time convergence."

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Southwest Jiaotong University, "This paper aims to minimize the total energy consumption of express and local train throughout the day by optimizing the train operation strategy in the same power supply section and increasing the overlap time between train traction acceleration and train regenerative braking to obtain the optimal energy-efficient timetable. As the consumed energy of a train is highly dependent on the rolling stock weight and the onboard passengers ‘ weight. An integer programming model is proposed with on-board passengers considered accurately, in which the dwell times, departure headway, and total turnaround time of express and local trains are determined. An improved grey wolf algorithm is designed by improving convergence factor and incorporating differential evolution to solve the proposed problem. The real data on Guangzhou Metro Line 18 is adopted for numerical studies."
