The TOTEM experiment has made a precise measurement of the elastic proton-proton differential cross-section at centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 8 TeV based on high-statistics data sample obtained with beta* 90 optics. Both statistical and systematic uncertainties remain below 1%, except for t-independent contribution from overall normalisation. This unprecedented precision allows to exclude purely exponential in range four-momentum transfer squared 0.027 < |t| 0.2 GeV^2 significance greater...
The TOTEM experiment at the CERN LHC has measured elastic proton-proton scattering centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV and four-momentum transfers squared, |t|, from 6 x $10^{-4}$ GeV$^2$ to 0.2 GeV$^2$. Near lower end of |t|-interval differential cross-section is sensitive interference between hadronic electromagnetic amplitudes. This article presents measurement constraints it imposes on functional forms modulus phase amplitude. data exclude traditional Simplified West Yennie formula...
In this paper, we present a gesture recognition system for the development of human-robot interaction (HRI) interface. Kinect cameras and OpenNI framework are used to obtain real-time tracking human skeleton. Ten different gestures, performed by persons, defined. Quaternions joint angles first as robust significant features. Next, neural network (NN) classifiers trained recognize gestures. This work deals with challenging tasks, such implementation temporal resolution The HRI interface...
The high mortality rate associated with cardiac abnormalities highlights the need of accurately detecting heart disorders in early stage so to avoid severe health consequence for patients. Health trackers have become popular form wearable devices. They are aimed perform monitoring outside medical clinics during peoples’ daily lives. Our paper proposes a new diagnostic algorithm and its implementation adopting FPGA-based design. conceived system automatically detects most common arrhythmias...
A reliable odometry source is a prerequisite to enable complex autonomy behaviour in next-generation robots operating extreme environments. In this work, we present high-precision lidar system achieve robust and real-time operation under challenging perceptual conditions. LOCUS (Lidar Odometry for Consistent Uncertain Settings), provides an accurate multi-stage scan matching unit equipped with health-aware sensor integration module seamless fusion of additional sensing modalities. We...
Mitochondrial RTG (an acronym for ReTroGrade) signaling plays a cytoprotective role under various intracellular or environmental stresses. We have previously shown its contribution to osmoadaptation and capacity sustain mitochondrial respiration in yeast. Here, we studied the interplay between RTG2, main positive regulator of pathway, HAP4, encoding catalytic subunit Hap2-5 complex required expression many proteins that function tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle electron transport, upon osmotic...
This paper describes the design and performance of timing detector developed by TOTEM Collaboration for Roman Pots (RPs) to measure Time-Of-Flight (TOF) protons produced in central diffractive interactions at LHC . The measurement TOF allows determination longitudinal position proton interaction vertex its association with one vertices reconstructed CMS detectors. is based on single crystal Chemical Vapor Deposition (scCVD) diamond plates designed about 50 ps time precision. upgrade...
Breast cancer is the main cause of female malignancy worldwide. Effective early detection by imaging studies remains critical to decrease mortality rates, particularly in women at high risk for developing breast cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) a common diagnostic tool management diseases, especially high-risk women. However, during this examination, both normal and abnormal tissues enhance after contrast material administration. Specifically, tissue enhancement known as background...
The analysis of cardiac signals is still regarded as attractive by both the academic community and industry because it helps physicians in detecting abnormalities improving diagnosis therapy diseases. Electrocardiographic signal processing for irregularities related to occurrence low-amplitude waveforms inside has a considerable workload are heavily contaminated noise other artifacts. This paper presents an effective approach detection ventricular late potential occurrences which considered...
The coupling of biological organisms with electrodes enables the development sustainable, low cost, and potentially self-sustained biosensors. A critical aspect is to obtain portable bioelectrodes where material immobilized on electrode surface be utilized demand. Herein, we developed an approach for rapid entrapment immobilization metabolically active yeast cells in a biocompatible polydopamine layer, which does not require separate time-consuming synthesis. reported allows obtaining...
The problem of eye detection for a driver vigilance system is very important in order to monitor fatigue, inattention, and lack sleep.
