The correct ego-motion estimation basically relies on the understanding of correspondences between adjacent LiDAR scans. However, given complex scenarios and low-resolution LiDAR, finding reliable structures for identifying can be challenging. In this letter, we delve into structure reliability accurate self-supervised aim to alleviate influence unreliable in training, inference mapping phases....

One of the pressing challenges we face today-in a post-Westphalian order (emergence of the state as the modern, political information agent) and post-Bretton Woods world (emergence of non-state multiagent systems or MASs as "hyperhistorical" players in the global economy and politics)-is how to design the right kind of MAS that can take full advantage of the socio-economic and political progres...

An efficient copper-catalyzed carbon-sulfur bond formation reaction was developed. This method is particularly noteworthy given its experimental simplicity, high generality, and exceptional level of functional group toleration and the low cost of the catalyst system. [reaction: see text]

Growing evidence indicates the safety and well toleration of treatment by Disease-modifying in children suffering multiple sclerosis (MS). The treatment is not straight forward in a great number of patients, thus patients with pediatric MS must be managed by experienced specialized centers.
