An Any-Resolution Distributed Pressure Localization Scheme Using a Capacitive Soft Sensor Skin

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Michelle Ching-Sum Yuen

We present a method to determine the location of an applied pressure on a large area, monolithic silicone based capacitive sensor. In contrast to pressure sensor arrays composed of n x n discrete sensors, we utilize a single sensor body with a single instr ...

Cortical morphology development in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome at ultra-high risk of psychosis

Maude Schneider, Marie Schaer, Daniela Maria Zöller, Maria Carmela Padula

Background. Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) present a high risk of developing psychosis. While clinical and cognitive predictors for the conversion towards a full-blown psychotic disorder are well defined and largely used in practice, neu ...

Improving Spatial Data Processing by Clipping Minimum Bounding Boxes

Anastasia Ailamaki, Darius Sidlauskas, Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou

The majority of spatial processing techniques rely heavily on the idea of approximating each group of spatial objects by their minimum bounding box (MBB). As each MBB is compact to store (requiring only two multi-dimensional points) and intersection tests ...

Oxygen enriched network-type carbon spheres for multipurpose water purification applications

Sami Rtimi

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) modified network-type carbon spheres (CSs) with abundant oxygen-rich groups were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of glucose precursor and utilized for the adsorptive removal of cadmium(II) heavy metal a ...

Two-phase displacements in microchannels of triangular cross-section

Erica Kathleen Block

Varying microfluidic channel cross-sectional geometry can dramatically alter fluid flow behavior, particularly for capillary-driven flow. Most fabrication techniques, however, are planar and therefore incapable of providing depth-dependent variations in wi ...

Anatomical and functional properties of the foot and leg representation in areas 3b, 1 and 2 of primary somatosensory cortex in humans: A 7T fMRI study

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michel Akselrod, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Roger Gassert, Roberto Martuzzi

Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) processes somatosensory information and is composed of multiple subregions. In particular, tactile information from the skin is encoded in three subregions, namely Brodmann areas (BAs) 3b, 1 and 2, with each area represent ...

Common and distinct brain regions processing multisensory bodily signals for peripersonal space and body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Petr Grivaz

We take the feeling that our body belongs to us for granted. However, recent research has shown that it is possible to alter the subjective sensation of body ownership (BO) by manipulating multisensory bodily inputs. Several frontal and parietal regions ar ...

The peatland map of Europe

Luca Bragazza

Based on the ‘European Mires Book’ of the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), this article provides a composite map of national datasets as the first comprehensive peatland map for the whole of Europe. We also present estimates of the extent of p ...

Essential connectedness and the rigidity problem for Gaussian symmetrization

Maria Colombo

We provide a geometric characterization of rigidity of equality cases in Ehrhard ' s symmetrization inequality for Gaussian perimeter. This condition is formulated in terms of a new measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for Borel sets, inspired by Fede ...

Beam-beam amplitude detuning with forced oscillations

Xavier Buffat, Tatiana Pieloni, Javier Barranco Garcia, Patrik Gonçalves Jorge

Recently, relations were established between the coefficients of free and forced amplitude detuning polynomial expansions. The forced oscillations were considered only in a single plane. In this paper we extend and generalize previous results by developing ...
