WHY YOU CANNOT RANK FIRST: MODIFICATIONS FOR BENCHMARKING SIX-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM VISUAL LOCALIZATION ALGORITHMS

Why You Cannot Rank First: Modifications for Benchmarking Six-Degree-of-Freedom Visual Localization Algorithms

Robust and precise visual localization over extended periods of time poses a formidable challenge in the current domain of spatial vision.The primary difficulty lies in effectively addressing significant variations in appearance caused by seasonal changes (summer, winter, spring, autumn) and diverse lighting conditions (dawn, day, sunset, night).Wi

Plant phylogenetic relatedness and herbivore specialization interact to determine pest biocontrol efficiency in mixed plantations

Pest herbivory regulation is one of the key functions provided by diverse ecosystems, especially when compared to species depauperate agro-ecosystems and in the context of increased pest outbreaks due to global change.The dilution effect of host diversity on insect herbivory suggests that mixed plantations are feasible for regulating pest herbivory

Evaluation of intradural stimulation efficiency and selectivity in a computational model of spinal cord stimulation.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an alternative or adjunct therapy to treat chronic pain, a prevalent and clinically challenging condition.Although SCS has substantial clinical success, the therapy is still prone to failures, including lead breakage, lead migration, and poor pain relief.The goal of this study was to develop a computational model of

A Rare Case of a Malignant Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor: A Molecular Study Harboring Potential Therapeutic Significance and a Review of Literature

Malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumors (MPTTs), arising from the external root sheath of hair follicles, are exceptionally rare, with limited documentation of their genetic alterations.We present a case of a 64-year-old African American woman who initially presented with a gradually enlarging nodule on her posterior scalp.An initial biopsy at
