The purpose of this paper is to try as much as possible to clear the mystery about the violent nature of Islamic people and to investigate the reasons why they have resorted to terrorist acts marking the whole history of mankind, in their insatiable quest for uniqueness.The paper aims at capturing the developments in the Middle East people who over

Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options.Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further investigation.This study focused on developing prosthesis liners with integrated vibration motors to adm

In practical applications, how to achieve a perfect balance between high accuracy and computational efficiency can be the main challenge for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).To solve this challenge, we propose SD-VIS, a novel fast and accurate semi-direct visual-inertial SLAM framework, which can estimate camera motion and structure of

In an attempt to reconcile wood extraction and forest biodiversity in managed boreal forests, 2D Crystal Photo ecosystem-based forest management (EBM) has become the de facto management approach.Retention forestry represents one prominent way that EBM is implemented in many parts of the world.Retention patches commonly left after harvesting serve a

This paper addresses the problem 2D Crystal Photo of the connectivity control and the self-organized deployment/dispersion of a team of mobile ad hoc sensor nodes.First, to reduce redundant communication links while preserving global connectivity, a distributed link removal algorithm is developed that only requires local information of no more than
