Establishment of a Therapeutic Ratio for Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Trigeminal Neuralgia: The Critical Importance of Biologically Effective Dose Versus Physical Dose

Constantin Tuleasca

OBJECTIVE: How variations of treatment time affect the safety and efficacy of Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery is a matter of considerable debate. With the relative simplicity of treatment planning for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), this question has been address ...

Risk-Based Human-Aware Multi-Robot Coordination in Dynamic Environments Shared with Humans

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour

In this paper, we propose a risk-based coordination method for the Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problem in human-populated environments. We introduce risk-based bids that incorporate human trajectory prediction uncertainties and furthermore, social c ...

The optimum is not the goal: Capturing the decision space for the planning of new neighborhoods

François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Nils Christian Schüler, Sébastien Cajot

This article presents the development and application of a methodology that employs optimization not to seek the single or few optimal plan(s) but to provide planners with a systematic overview of their decision space. As urban development projects are not ...

Cultural ecosystem services provision in response to urbanization in Cameroon

Jérôme Chenal, Armel Firmin Kemajou Mbianda, Rémi Jaligot

In Africa, cities are unable to accommodate population growth within their current administrative limits, putting pressure on ecosystem services (ES) in peripheral areas. Existing ES related studies in the region were conducted in East and South Africa, an ...

Digital Tools as a Means to Foster Inclusive, Data-informed Urban Planning

Jérôme Chenal, Stéphanie Aline Hasler, Marc Soutter

Rapid urbanization, climate change, resource depletion, the desire for more sustainable development and widespread use of the Internet and mobile phones are major challenges for urban planning. While the smart city model is seen as a means to cope with the ...
