Visual ego-motion estimation, or briefly visual odometry (VO), is one of the key building blocks modern SLAM systems. In last decade, impressive results have been demonstrated in context navigation, reaching very high localization performance. However, all estimation systems require careful parameter tuning procedures for specific environment they to work in. Furthermore, even ideal scenarios, most state-of-the-art approaches fail handle image anomalies and imperfections, which less robust...

Trials of monoclonal antibodies that target various forms amyloid at different stages Alzheimer's disease have had mixed results. Download a PDF the Research Summary. We tested solanezumab, which targets monomeric amyloid, in phase 3 trial involving persons with preclinical disease. Persons 65 to 85 years age global Clinical Dementia Rating score 0 (range, 3, indicating no cognitive impairment and severe dementia), on Mini–Mental State Examination 25 or more 30, lower scores poorer...

We propose a prototype of Variable Stiffness Actuator (VSA) conceived with low cost as its first goal. This approach was scarcely covered in past literature. Many recent works introduced large number actuators adjustable stiffness, optimized for wide set applications. They cover broad range design possibilities, but their availability is still limited to small quantities. work presents the and implementation modular servo-VSA multi-unit system, called VSA-CubeBot. It offers customizable...

It is now well established that the glutamatergic system contributes to pathophysiology of depression. Exposure stress, a major precipitating factor for depression, enhances glutamate release can contribute structural abnormalities observed in brain depressed subjects. On other hand, it has been demonstrated NMDA antagonists, like ketamine, exert an antidepressant effect at preclinical and clinical levels. these bases, purpose our study was investigate whether chronic mild stress associated...

Obstacle Detection is a central problem for any robotic system, and critical autonomous systems that travel at high speeds in unpredictable environment. This often achieved through scene depth estimation, by various means. When fast motion considered, the detection range must be longer enough to allow safe avoidance path planning. Current solutions make assumption on of vehicle limit their applicability, or work very limited ranges due intrinsic constraints. We propose novel appearance-based...

Global trade has been exceptionally weak over the past four years. While global grew at approximately twice rate of GDP prior to Great Recession, ratio growth declined about unity since 2012. This paper assesses what extent change in relationship between and economic activity is a temporary phenomenon or constitutes lasting change. It finds that primarily dampened by two factors. First, compositional factors, including geographical shifts changes composition aggregate demand, have weighed on...

The spread of global value chains (GVCs) has given rise to new statistical tools, the inter-country input–output tables, and analytical frameworks aimed at properly identifying production linkages between within economies. However, several important questions remain unaddressed. This paper proposes a toolkit for value-added accounting trade flows aggregate, bilateral, sectoral levels. shows how different empirical issues require distinct perspectives maps these methodologies onto economic...

Abstract INTRODUCTION The long‐term implications of disclosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker information to cognitively unimpaired individuals are unknown. METHODS We compared participants who disclosed their elevated amyloid imaging result in a preclinical AD trial those not and enrolled an observational cohort that underwent parallel assessments. Our primary outcome was score > 0 on the Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS) at any visit; we also considered suicidal...

The diffusion of international production networks has challenged the capability traditional trade statistics to provide an adequate representation supply and demand linkages among economies. To address this issue, new statistical tools (the Inter-Country Input-Output tables) analytical frameworks have been developed. Koopman, Wang Wei propose accounting methodology decompose a country's total gross exports by source final destination their embedded value added. We develop approach further...

Both empirical and theoretical literature show that multinational firms exhibit a competitive advantage before investing abroad. However, there are no clear results regarding the ex-post effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on firm performance, partially due to inadequacy available firm-level data.
