LiDAR-based 3D single object tracking is a challenging issue in robotics and autonomous driving. Currently, existing approaches usually suffer from the problem that objects at long distance often have very sparse or partially-occluded point clouds, which makes features extracted by model ambiguous. Ambiguous will make it hard to locate target finally lead bad results. To solve this problem, we ...

This study investigates therapeutic efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT) in an orthotropic xenograft model of bone metastasis of breast cancer. The near-infrared (NIR) irradiation on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) resulted in a rapid heat generation which increased with the MWNTs concentration up to 100 μg/ml. MWNTs alone exhibited no toxicity, but inclusion of MWNTs dramatically decre...

Two important aspects of a respiratory sleep study are a measure of inspiratory effort and an estimate of the number of arousals. These can be derived from an indirect estimate of beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP), pulse transit time (PTT). This study investigated the reproducibility of inspiratory BP falls (reflecting inspiratory effort), and BP arousals derived from PTT, and the contribution t...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the anatomic double-bundle reconstruction (ADBR) of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with 2 femoral tunnels and 2 tibial tunnels. METHODS Eight fresh-frozen human knees were used. Bone tunnels were created based on the PCL anatomic footprints. A 9-mm looped semitendinosus and gracilis tendon for anterolateral bundle reconstr...

We adapt and refine the methods developed in [Abr96] and [DGM] in order to establish the sphericity of the Phan geometries defined in [BGHS07] (type Bn) and [GHS03] (type Cn), and their generalizations. As applications of this sphericity we determine the topological finiteness length of the unitary form of the group Sp 2n (F q2 [t, t]) (Theorem 7.1) and give the first published proof of the Pha...
