Advances in Pediatric Minimal Access Therapy: a Cautious Journey from Therapeutic Endoscopy to Transluminal Surgery Based on the Adult Experience
This article explores the confluence of pediatric minimal access surgery and therapeutic endoscopy in a novel modality called transluminal surgery, or NOTES.

Optical Scanner for Immunoassays with Up-Converting Phosphorescent Labels
Our results suggest that a simple 2-D imaging system can speed assay development, reduce errors, and improve accuracy by characterizing the spatial distribution and uniformity of surface-captured optical labels as…

Autonomous Biconnected Networks of Mobile Robots
We approach the subproblem of moving from a connected network of robots to achieving biconnectivity. Biconnectivity provides both robustness to change in links and better bandwidth for communication by providing…

American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine Consensus Report on Potential Bioeffects of Diagnostic Ultrasound: Executive Summary
The following summary is not meant as a substitute for the detailed examination of issues presented in each of the articles but rather as a means to facilitate further study…

Electric Power from Artificial Muscles
In this work, as a novel process for use of renewable energy, the authors would like to discuss the possibility of an artificial muscle actuator based on a dielectric electroactive…

Object Tracking and Classification in Aerial Videos
We combine the layer segmentation approach with background stabilization and post-tracking refinement to reliably detect small moving objects at the relatively low processing speed.

VideoQuest: Managing Large-Scale Aerial Video Database Through Automated Content Extraction
In this paper, we introduce an aerial video management and exploitation system named VideoQuest that manages large-scale aerial video database through automated video processing and content extraction.

Fetal Thermal Effects of Diagnostic Ultrasound
Available evidence, experimental or epidemiologic, is insufficient to conclude that there is a causal relationship between obstetric diagnostic ultrasound exposure and obvious adverse thermal effects to the fetus.

Study on Core Free Rolled Actuator Based on Soft Dielectric EAP
In this study a new rolled actuator design is presented based on the IPN post treated VHB material. Due to the stress free state of the wrapped film no spring…

Low-Lying Electronic States and Dissociation Energies of the Monochlorides of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni
Published equilibrium data involving the gaseous monochlorides of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni have been re-examined by thermochemical analysis, using more recent information on the low-lying electronic states, yielding…

Studying New Forms of Participation and Identity in Mathematics Classrooms with Integrated Communication and Representational Infrastructures
We describe a method for studying the impacts of combining wireless networks with dynamic, representationally-rich mathematics software, particularly on participation, expression and projection of identity from a local to a…
