Evaluating the Contributions of Dynamic Flow to Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease by Chad A. Lebold, Q. J. Almeida

“…The present study manipulated how optic flow was provided, and how this might influence freezing of gait (FOG) in PD. Therefore, three groups; 15 PD FOG, 16 PD non-FOG, and 16 healthy controls were tested in 3 narrow doorway conditions; baseline (Narrow), ground lines (Ground), and laser (Laser). …”

The CuePed Trial: How Does Environmental Complexity Impact Cue Effectiveness? A Comparison of Tonic and Phasic Visual Cueing in Simple and Complex Environments in a Parkinson’s Dis... by Rodney Marsh, Michael H. Cole, Nadeeka N. W. Dissanayaka, Tiffany R. Au, Sandra Clewett, John D. O’Sullivan, Peter A. Silburn

“…There has been a rise in the development of motion-sensitive, wearable cueing devices for the treatment of FoG in PD. These devices generally produce cues after signature gait or electroencephalographic antecedents of FoG episodes are detected (phasic cues). …”

Deep Learning–Based Prediction of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease With the Ensemble Channel Selection Approach by Sara Abbasi, Khosro Rezaee

“…ABSTRACT Purpose A debilitating and poorly understood symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) is freezing of gait (FoG), which increases the risk of falling. Clinical evaluations of FoG, relying on patients’ subjective reports and manual examinations by specialists, are unreliable, and most detection methods are influenced by subject‐specific factors. …”

Recognizing Dew as an Indicator and an Improver of Near-Surface Air Quality by Yingying Xu, Xinyue Zhu

“…Results showed that air quality deteriorated during haze but improved in fog. The particle size distributions, major cations, and carbonaceous species documented in the dew and airborne particles demonstrated consistent synchronous patterns with values descending in the order haze > normal > fog conditions. …”

Intrusion Detection Model for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on FedAvg and XGBoost Algorithm by Hongjiao Wu

“…For the characteristics of channel instability in wireless sensor networks, this paper proposes an intrusion detection algorithm based on FedAvg (federated averaging) and XGBoost (extreme gradient boosting) wireless sensor networks using fog computing architecture. First, the network edge is extended by introducing fog computing nodes to reduce the communication delay. …”
