Learning how to grasp objects

This paper deals with the problem of estimating an appropriate hand posture to grasp an object, from 2D object’s visual cues in a many-to-many (objects,grasp) configuration. A statistical learning protocol implementing vector-valued regression is adopted for both classifying the most likely grasp type and estimating the hand posture. An extensive experimental evaluation on a publicly available ...

Platelet Refractoriness and how it is formed

Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion of platelet has become one of the main treatments for thrombocytopenic patients to reduce the severity and frequency of bleeding consequences. Failure to attain the desired level of platelets in a patient following platelet transfusion is defined as platelet refractoriness. The purpose of present paper is to review and study the mechanisms involve...
