A bilateral teleoperation system can become unstable in the presence of a modest time delay. However, the wave variable algorithm provides stable operation for any fixed time delay using passivity arguments. Unfortunately, the wave variable method pr...
Spontaneous pregnancy loss is the most common pregnancy complication; 15–25% of clinically confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage, and when early, undetected pregnancy losses are included, the miscarriage rate can reach as high as 30–60...
An improved method combining multiple reflections with the phase-modulation technique (MR-PM) is proposed to construct a self-mixing interferometer with high accuracy. The phase modulation is performed by using an electro-optic modulator that is plac...
Specular Reflections often exist in the endoscopic image, which not only hurts many computer vision algorithms but also seriously interferes with the observation and judgment of the surgeon. The information behind the recovery specular reflection are...
This article offers a dialogical exploration of student teachers’ reflections on notions of insideness and outsideness, the focal themes of an Erasmus+ ten-day intensive programme (IP). The arts-based, interdisciplinary IP involved 32 student p...
