Article Abstract
Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) maps are useful for premature ventricular contraction (PVC) ablation. However, positional information changes compared with sinus rhythm when PVCs appear, rendering ablation difficult. We aimed to understand the spatial displacement characteristics of PVC ablation in 3D maps and the therapeutic effect after correction using the LAT-Hybrid function.
Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent PVC ablation from 2022 to 2024 were included. Parallel mapping was used to analyze the LAT-Hybrid function. Ablation was performed at the best Hybrid-LAT location. Characteristics according to PVC origin (right ventricular outflow tract, ventricular septum, and left ventricular outflow tract/left ventricular summit) were compared. Efficacy was evaluated by acute response and clinical outcome on 24-h Holter after 6 months.
Results: In all cases, the PVC origin was spatially displaced by 5.6 ± 1.9 (right ventricular outflow tract, 6.0 ± 1.8; ventricular septum, 4.0 ± 1.4; left ventricular outflow tract/left ventricular summit, 6.0 ± 1.7) mm, and the septum area was significantly smaller. The voltage of origin was 60 % in the low voltage-transitional zone, which coincided with 80 % of the origin determined from the ripple map. The pace map at the location analyzed with LAT-Hybrid was high at 95.4 % ± 3.6 %, and ablation was successful in 96.9 % at the same site. The clinical outcome was good 6 months after ablation.
Conclusion: Spatial displacement of the 3D map caused by differences in excitation propagation can lead to misidentification of the origin. PVC ablation corrects spatial displacement and obtains accurate positional information, leading to successful ablation.

This study presents a non-destructive method for estimating surface acoustic wave attenuation, which is highly sensitive to microstructural features, especially at high frequencies. The method uses a single wideband dispersive interdigital transducer (IDT) that remotely emits acoustic waves at the sample's edge. Chirp compression of the temporal displacement response is achieved by correlating the excitation signal with the spatial configuration of the IDT's electrodes.

This paper presents the development of a time-synchronised wireless vision sensor network using the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The sensor network, named the flexible vision network (FVN), offers significant advantages over existing wired or wireless time-synchronised vision sensor networks. These advantages include: 1) spatial flexibility, with no distance limitations between sensor nodes imposed by Ethernet cables or WiFi communication, 2) scalability in the number of nodes due to its independent time-sync operation based on satellites without any time-sync interaction with other nodes, and 3) straightforward time synchronisation with other heterogeneous sensor systems, such as accelerometers or dynamic strain systems, due to its independent time-sync operation providing an absolute time reference.

Hydraulic fracturing is essential for developing not only unconventional oil and gas reservoirs but also clean-energy resources, such as enhanced geothermal systems. Accurate simulation of fracture propagation is crucial for estimating poststimulation production. However, current approaches to calculating fracture physical parameters are often computationally inefficient.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is famous for its extraordinary mechanical properties in tribology applications. Despite the growing interest and achievements in exploiting more advanced DLC, unveiling the deformation mechanisms, especially in the plastic regime, remains a great challenge. Here, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, as an computational microscopy technique, was employed to probe the atomically structural and mechanical responses in DLC with a certain density to nanoindentation.
