LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG: Behavioral Treatment Programs for Speech and Body Movement in Parkinson Disease by Cynthia Fox, Georg Ebersbach, Lorraine Ramig, Shimon Sapir

“…The unique aspects of the LSVT Programs include the combination of (a) an exclusive target on increasing amplitude (loudness in the speech motor system; bigger movements in the limb motor system), (b) a focus on sensory recalibration to help patients recognize that movements with increased amplitude are within normal limits, even if they feel “too loud” or “too big,” and (c) training self-cueing and attention to action to facilitate long-term maintenance of treatment outcomes. …”

IEEE 802.15.4 based topology control and routing for mobile Sink wireless sensor networks by TONG Jie1, YANG Fan2, QIAN De-pei1

“…Based on the standard of IEEE 802.15.4b,a cross-layer protocol design combining cluster-tree formatting and mobile routing was proposed for query-driven wireless sensor networks with mobile Sink（s）.Firstly,energy consumption,network connectivity,load balancing and sub-tree depth were employed as the evaluation factors.A topology evaluation function under a multi-objective optimization model was defined to construct the stable and optimal underlying clus-ter-tree network.Secondly,the beacon frame scheduling based distributed sleep synchronization algorithm in IEEE 802.15.4 MAC was improved,which was used to maintain the network synchronization and topology correction on low duty-cycle.Thirdly,the parent-child relationships established during the topology formatting according to "first beacon","best links","top level" rules were exploited to build the two-way routing paths between mobile Sink（s） and the nodes within N-Hop range.Eventually,the topology control schemes at MAC layer and the query routing approach at network layer were completely implemented in the protocol stack of TinyOS.The experimental results show that the evaluation function can effectively reflect the quality of network formatting.Jointed with the sleep synchronization mechanism un-der the topology generated using the rule of "best links",the N-Hop reactive routing exhibits high energy-efficiency.…”

Mechanistic and Experimental Aspects of the Structural Characterization of Some Model and Real Systems by Nitrogen Sorption and Mercury Porosimetry by Carlos Felipe, Fernando Rojas, Isaac Kornhauser, Matthias Thommes, Giorgio Zgrablich

“…The experimental pore systems examined consisted of two substrates: (a) a globular solid composed of monodisperse silica spheres in a perfect rhombohedral arrangement and (b) a controlled pore glass solid. Comparisons between the experimental nitrogen sorption and mercury porosimetry pore-size distributions demonstrated: (i) the existence of several mechanistic effects responsible of irreversible capillary behaviour that influences the calculation of pore structure parameters; (ii) the choice of the right sorption process (i.e. condensation or evaporation) suitable for comparison with either intrusion or extrusion results; (iii) the types of porous structures capable of convenient pore-size characterization by either nitrogen sorption and/or mercury porosimetry methods; and (iv) the nature of the pore entities (i.e. chambers or necks) that control the incumbent capillary process.…”

Gesture Recognition with Residual LSTM Attention Using Millimeter-Wave Radar by Weiqing Bai, Siyu Chen, Jialiang Ma, Ying Wang, Chong Han

“…To address the complexity of data processing with multi-feature inputs in neural networks and the poor recognition performance with single-feature inputs, this paper proposes a gesture recognition algorithm based on <b>R</b>esNet <b>L</b>ong Short-Term Memory with an <b>A</b>ttention Mechanism (RLA). In the aspect of signal processing in RLA, a range–Doppler map is obtained through the extraction of the range and velocity features in the original mmWave radar signal. …”
