Abstract Background Long Covid is an unknown illness which has been shown to affect sufferers regardless of mild initial COVID-19 or age. There still a lot about long COVID illness. call understand this not only from professional standpoint but also through the lived experience patients. Patient reported outcomes research one such angle. To date, no explored overall experiences and trajectory perspectives This study aimed gather patient their research. It recruited adult participants aged...

JPL has developed a snake-like robot concept called Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) that applies highly versatile mobility architecture and intelligent risk-aware autonomy towards exploration of unknown uncertain environments in the solar system, such as vents Enceladus. The first instantiation EELS is 1.0, modular with shape control through high degree freedom articulation screw-based active skin propulsion. This paper outlines design 1.0 hardware system provides preliminary results...
This paper introduces NEO, a novel autonomy framework for controlling versatile high- degree-of-freedom (DOF) robots such as EELS (a screw-driven snake-like robot), aimed at exploring unknown and extreme environments like the geysers of Enceladus or subsurface oceans icy worlds. Distinct from conventional Mars mission strategies, NEO embodies resilience, adaptivity, risk awareness. supports fault-aware perception using both exteroception proprioception, inspired by blind climber’s feat...
The Mount Meager Volcanic Complex (Q̓welq̓welústen) is an active glacier-capped volcanic massif in the Garibaldi Belt (British Columbia) and only known glaciovolcanic cave system North America steadily releasing sulfur-rich gases. In September 2022, leveraging specialized explorer expertise, fumarole-carved ice at Job Glacier on Mt. was surveyed. Direct measurements of fumarolic gas concentrations were taken source, with H 2 S >200 ppm, SO >100 CO ∼5,200 ∼230 ppm. Snowpack...
The Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) is a snake-like mobile instruments platform under development at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for mission concept to find evidence of life on Saturn's sixth largest moon, Enceladus. To conduct surveying there, the EELS must first traverse an unknown icy surface terrain before undertaking controlled descent into cryovolcanic vent. remoteness Enceladus and nature its demands level autonomy in navigation significantly higher than previous rover...
Hacking’s (1985) concept of ‘styles reasoning’ has prompted research into a multitude markedly different areas, including: learning and teaching science (Hawkins Pea 1987), the history philosophy use case studies (Forrester 1996), epistemic differences in German American embryology (Maienschein 1991), relationship between (Radder 1997), more recently even sexuality, translation, East Asian (Chiang 2009). This article attempts to add this discourse by considering from perspective geography...
The 2011 tsunami had a devastating effect on the east coast of Japan. Particularly poignant were century-old markers hillsides warning against building anywhere below. Nevertheless, such wisdom from traditional knowledge was disregarded because perceived invulnerability modern. This paper attempts to garner empirical regarding siting towns and cities by considering Chinese art/science fengshui (wind water) or dili (principles earth), original purpose which site human habitation in most...
EELS-DARTS is a simulator designed for autonomy development and analysis of large degree freedom snake-like robots space exploration. A detailed description the design presented. This includes versatile underlying multibody dynamics representation used to model variety distinct snake robot configurations as well an anisotropic friction describing screw–ice interaction. Additional simulation components such graphics, importable terrain, joint controllers, perception are discussed. Methods...
A review of the English language academic literature on East Asian business ethical practices reveals an inordinate focus Confucian values. This paper argues that present day value systems in Asia are rooted a much more complex array philosophical stances including Legalism, Mohism, Daoism and Buddhism from traditional perspective, Christianity, Marxism will to power Nietzsche as contemporary influences. The then posits latter influences made great inroads into Chinese culture particular...
