In this letter, we develop a distributed consensus-based online monitoring framework for robot swarm with fixed graph structure. Each agent can monitor whether the satisfies specifications given in form of Swarm Signal Temporal Logic (SwarmSTL) formulas. SwarmSTL formulas describe temporal properties swarm-level features represented by generalized moments (GMs), e.g., centroid and variance. To ...

This paper is concerned with the problems and solutions to reliable analysis of arbitrary datasets. Our approach is to describe components of a system called the GARPModelling System (GMS) which we have developed for automating predictive spatial modelling of the distribution of species of plants and animals. The essence of the system is an underlying generic spatial modelling method which ® lt...

Classification is a major problem in machine learning. Many classifiers have been developed recently. However, the performance of these classifiers is proportional to the knowledge obtained from the training data. As a result, traditional classifiers can not perform very well when the training data space is very limited. In this paper, we propose a new approach to expand the training data space...

We showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation during pregnancy and lactation was associated with more mildly abnormal (MA) general movements (GMs) in the infants. Since this finding was unexpected and inter-individual DHA intakes are highly variable, we explored the relationship between GM quality and erythrocyte DHA, arachidonic acid (AA), DHA/AA and Mead acid in 57 infants of this...

Inset, digitally magnified Pneumocystis organism showing characteristic paired “dark bodies” diagnostic of Pneumocystis species.

AIM The aim of this study was to systematically review the clinimetric properties of longitudinal neonatal neurobehavioural and neuromotor assessments for preterm infants. METHOD Twenty-seven assessment measures were identified. The following eight measures met the study inclusion criteria: Assessment of Preterm Infants' Behaviour (APIB), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioural ...

General movements (GMs) are a distinct movement pattern carried out spontaneously without external stimulation and seen in fetuses of 9 weeks gestational age till 21 weeks postterm. GMs are helpful in the early diagnosis of an impaired central nervous system and the specific prediction of later neurological deficits. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder involving a li...

Since 2006, the German Society for Hospital Hygiene patronages the Journal “GMS (GermanMedical Science) Krankenhaushygiene Interdisziplinär”, an open access peer-reviewed PubMed listed e-journal. German Medical Science is a portal for online journals, meeting and research reports and offers all researchers in the field of medicine an open access to scientific articles and the possibility to pub...
