Article Abstract

Simulation speed is crucial for virtual reality simulators involving real-time interactive cutting of deformable objects, such as surgical simulators. Previous efforts to accelerate these simulations resulted in significant speed increases during non-cutting periods, but only moderate ones during cutting periods. This paper aims to further increase the latter. Three novel methods are proposed: (1) GPU-based update of mass and stiffness matrices of composite finite elements. (2) GPU-based collision processing between cutting tools and deformable objects. (3) Redesigned CPU-GPU synchronization mechanisms combined with GPU acceleration for the update of the surface mesh. Simulation tests, including a complex hepatectomy simulation, are performed. Results show that our methods increase the simulation speed during cutting periods by 40.4% to 56.5.

Rodents' ability to encode the whisking phase has been extensively documented through neuronal recordings from ascending sensory pathways. Yet, while indicating that reafference originates from the mechanoreceptors, the mechanistic underpinnings of the whisking phase encoding within the follicle remain unclear. Here we present anatomical, histological, and biomechanical evidence for the presence of a distinctive elastic segment (ES) within the basal part of the whisker shaft inside the follicle.

Objectives: We propose a YOLOv11-TDSP model for improving the accuracy of dental abnormality detection on panoramic oral X-ray images.

Methods: The SHSA single-head attention mechanism was integrated with C2PSA in the backbone layer to construct a new C2PSA_SHSA attention mechanism. The computational redundancy was reduced by applying single-head attention to some input channels to enhance the efficiency and detection accuracy of the model.

Developmental dyslexia is a disorder marked by difficulties in reading, spelling, and connecting sounds to written language. The high-level visual dysfunction hypothesis suggests these difficulties may partially arise from abnormalities in high-level visual cognition such as the ability to integrate visual input for higher-order cognitive functions such as reading. Here we examined adult (mean age = 35) dyslexic readers' neural functioning as they recognized identities of nonlinguistic visual objects, specifically houses and faces.

Strain-Insensitive, Crosstalk-Suppressed, Ultrawide-Linearity Iontronic Tactile Skin from a Synergistic Segment-Embedded Strategy.

Tactile sensing arrays play a crucial role in human-machine interaction, robotics, and artificial intelligence by enabling the perception of physical stimuli on robotic surfaces or human skin. However, skin-attachable sensor arrays still suffer from strain interference and signal crosstalk under stretching or bending, particularly on curved or deformable surfaces. Here, we present a stretchable tactile array that is both strain-insensitive and crosstalk-suppressed, achieved via a hierarchically segmented design that mitigates lateral and vertical deformations synergistically.

Object identification has been widely used in several applications, utilising the annotated data with bounding boxes to specify each object's exact location and category in images and videos. However, relatively little research has been conducted on identifying plant species in their natural environments. Natural habitats play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity, ecological balance, and overall ecosystem health.
