BackgroundAs individuals age, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases, largely due to progressive stiffening of the arteries.This relationship underscores the critical need to monitor arterial stiffness as a predictor of CVD outcomes.While aerobic exercise has demonstrated benefits for vascular health, the influence of flexibility, parti
This paper describes a non-invasive, automatic, and robust method for calibrating a scalable RGB-D sensor network based on retroreflective ArUco markers and the iterative closest point (ICP) scheme.We demonstrate the system by calibrating a sensor network comprised of Bronzer six sensor nodes positioned in a relatively large industrial robot cell w

The convergence of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) has garnered attention in recent years.Extending the tendency further, National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) fuses the library, archive, Bottoms - Skirts museum, and publisher (LAMP) functionality together in its library.This article elaborates on the LAMP practices of the NTNU Library,
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a congenital anomaly of the optic disc that might result in moderate to severe Cards vision loss in children.With a vast number of cases now being reported, the rarity of ONH is obviously now refuted.The major aspects of ophthalmic evaluation of an infant with possible ONH are visual assessment, fundus examination, a
