A Brain-Computer Interface for Teleoperation of a Semiautonomous Mobile Robotic Assistive System Using SLAM by Vidya Nandikolla, Bryan Ghoslin, Kevin Matsuno, Daniel A. Medina Portilla

“…Communication between the BCI controller and the subsystems is tested independently. A loop of prerecorded brainwave data related to each specific task is used to ensure that the mobile base command is executed; the same prerecorded file is used to move the robot arm cursor and initiate a pick-up or drop-off action. …”

Research on the Dynamics of Geological Drilling Rig against Drill Pipe Impact by Shixin Bai, Zhijian Liu, Jin Wang

“…This article starts with the research on the hydraulic system of the power head of the automatic drilling rig and studies the dynamics of the damage of the power head of the drilling rig caused by the impact of the drill pipe by means of hydraulic valve torque limit and closed-loop control of the speed. The oil valve group reduces the reverse torsional impact of the drill pipe on the hydraulic motor. …”

Cancer-Associated Immune Resistance and Evasion of Immune Surveillance in Colorectal Cancer by Pietro Parcesepe, Guido Giordano, Carmelo Laudanna, Antonio Febbraro, Massimo Pancione

“…Recent works reveal that expression of immune antigens (PDL1, CD47, CD73, CD14, CD68, MAC387, CD163, DAP12, and CD15) by tumor cells “immune resistance,” combined with prometastatic function of nonmalignant infiltrating cells, may represent a strategy to overcome the rate-limiting steps of metastatic cascade through (a) enhanced interactions with protumorigenic myeloid cells and escape from T-dependent immune response mediated by CD8+ and natural killer (NK) cells; (b) production of immune mediators that establish a local and systemic tumor-supportive environment (premetastatic niche); (c) ability to survive either in the peripheral blood as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or at the metastatic site forming a cooperative prometastatic loop with foreign “myeloid” cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, respectively. …”

Solving Spatial Optimization Problems via Lagrangian Relaxation and Automatic Gradient Computation by Zhen Lei, Ting L. Lei

“…As such, the human expert only needs to implement the Lagrangian problem in a scientific computing language (such as Python), and the system can find the (sub)gradients of this code, even if it contains complex loops and conditional statements. We verify that the autograd version of the algorithm is equivalent to the original version with manually derived gradients. …”
