We report wastewater surveillance of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 based upon 24-h composite influent samples taken weekly from four wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada between January 3, 2021 and July 10, 2021. Samples were analyzed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction targeting the N1 and N2 gene fragments of SARS-CoV-2 and a region of the replication associate protein of the pepper mottle mosaic virus (PMMoV) serving as endemic control. Only a small proportion of samples had quantifiable levels of N1 or N2. Overall case rates are weakly correlated with the concentration (gene copies/L) and with the flux of viral material influent to the WWTP (gene copies/day);the latter accounts for influent flow variations. Poisson multimodal rank correlation accounts for differences between the four WWTP and shows a significant correlation with a significant positive intercept. Receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis confirms a cut-off of cases based on amplified/not-amplified experimental data. At the optimal cut point of 19 (N1) or 17 (N2) cases/week/100,000 the sensitivity and specificity is about 75% for N1 and 67% for N2. © 2022 The Authors

In many specific scenarios, accurate and effective system identification is a commonly encountered challenge in the model predictive control (MPC) formulation. As a consequence, the overall system performance could be significantly weakened in outcome when the traditional MPC algorithm is adopted under those circumstances when such accuracy is lacking. This paper investigates a non-parametric closed-loop behavior learning method for multi-agent motion planning, which underpins a data-driven predictive control framework. Utilizing an innovative methodology with closed-loop input/output measurements of the unknown system, the behavior of the system is learned based on the collected dataset, and thus the constructed non-parametric predictive model can be used to determine the optimal control actions. This non-parametric predictive control framework alleviates the heavy computational burden commonly encountered in the optimization procedures typically in alternate methodologies requiring open-loop input/output measurement data collection and parametric system identification. The proposed data-driven approach is also shown to preserve good robustness properties. Finally, a multi-UAV system is used to demonstrate the highly effective outcome of this promising development.

Endovascular procedures have revolutionized the treatment of vascular diseases thanks to minimally invasive solutions that significantly reduce patient recovery time and enhance clinical outcomes. However, the precision and dexterity required during these procedures poses considerable challenges for interventionists. Robotic systems have emerged offering transformative solutions, addressing issues such as operator fatigue, radiation exposure, and the inherent limitations of human precision. The integration of Embodied Intelligence (EI) into these systems signifies a paradigm shift, enabling robots to navigate complex vascular networks and adapt to dynamic physiological conditions. Data-driven approaches, advanced computer vision, medical image analysis, and machine learning techniques, are at the forefront of this evolution. These methods augment procedural intelligence by facilitating real-time vessel segmentation, device tracking, and anatomical landmark detection. Reinforcement learning and imitation learning further refine navigation strategies and replicate experts’ techniques. This review systematically examines the integration of EI principles into robotic technologies, in relation to endovascular procedures. We discuss recent advancements in intelligent perception and data-driven control, and their practical applications in robot-assisted endovascular procedures. By critically evaluating current limitations and emerging opportunities, this review establishes a framework for future developments, emphasizing the potential for greater autonomy and improved clinical outcomes. Emerging trends and specific areas of research, such as federated learning for medical data sharing, explainable AI for clinical decision support, and advanced human-robot collaboration paradigms, are also explored, offering insights into the future direction of this rapidly evolving field. © 2025, CC BY.

Angewandte Chemie 2021年第27期133卷

作者： Leyuan Zhang Prof. Guihua Yu Materials Science and Engineering Program and Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin Austin TX 78712 USA

Electrolyte is an important component in redox flow batteries (RFBs) that determines the current capability, potential window, and safety, but both aqueous and nonaqueous electrolytes have their intrinsic limits. Here, we develop the proof-of-concept hybrid electrolyte chemistry to enable the design of safe and wide-temperature RFBs. In addition to the non-flammable characteristics, the hybrid electrolyte also inherits the high electrochemical stability and wide operational temperature range. It can show a potential window of 2.5 V and maintain high ion conductivities at low temperatures. It also enables LiI to achieve high Coulombic efficiencies of >99.9 %, showing long cycling stability over 800 cycles. Moreover, it enables the successful operation of Zn/LiI RFBs at −20 °C for 150 cycles with nearly no capacity loss. This study highlights the great potential of hybrid electrolyte chemistry for the approach of safe and high-performance large-scale energy storage systems in wide temperature ranges.

Two new high-entropy ceramics (HECs) in the weberite and fergusonite structures, along with unexpected formation of ordered pyrochlore phases with ultrahigh-entropy compositions and an abrupt pyrochlore-weberite transition, are discovered in a 21-cation oxide system. While the Gibbs phase rule allows 21 equilibrium phases, nine out of the 13 compositions examined possess single HEC phases (with ultrahigh ideal configurational entropies: ~2.7kB per cation on one sublattice and >2kB per cation on average in most cases). Notably, (15RE1/15)(Nb1/2Ta1/2)O4 possess a single monoclinic fergusonite (C2/c) phase and (15RE1/15)3(Nb1/2Ta1/2)1O7 form a single orthorhombic (C2221) weberite phase, where 15RE1/15 represents Sc1/15Y1/15La1/15Pr1/15Nd1/15Sm1/15Eu1/15Gd1/15Tb1/15Dy1/15Ho1/15Er1/15Tm1/15Yb1/15Lu1/15. Moreover, a series of eight (15RE1/15)2+x(Ti1/4Zr1/4Ce1/4Hf1/4)2-2x(Nb1/2Ta1/2)xO7 specimens all exhibit single phases, where a pyrochlore-weberite transition occurs within 0.75 © 2021, CC BY.

This paper presents a novel robotic system to characterize and retrain reaching in rats. This robot is intended to be a research platform for rehabilitation of forelimb movements in rats. In this paper, we focus on the design of this robotic system. We present the design requirements, mathematical models, and details of the physical device. A parallel mechanism with a special alignment of the component chains is used to accommodate observed reaching motions of a rat’s forelimb. Additionally, we demonstrate the use of this robot to record forelimb trajectories. Three healthy rats were used to record repeated reaching motions while the robot applied nearly zero force. We believe that this robotic system can be used in future training studies with rats who have impaired arm motions due to a neurological insult. Copyright © 2020 ASME

Mobile manipulators that combine mobility and manipulability, are increasingly being used for various unstructured application scenarios in the field, e.g. vineyards. Therefore, the coordinated motion of the mobile base and manipulator is an essential feature of the overall performance. In this paper, we explore a whole-body motion controller of a robot which is composed of a 2-DoFs non-holonomic wheeled mobile base with a 7-DoFs manipulator (non-holonomic wheeled mobile manipulator, NWMM) This robotic platform is designed to efficiently undertake complex grapevine pruning tasks. In the control framework, a task priority coordinated motion of the NWMM is guaranteed. Lower-priority tasks are projected into the null space of the top-priority tasks so that higher-priority tasks are completed without interruption from lower-priority tasks. The proposed controller was evaluated in a grapevine spur pruning experiment scenario. © 2021, CC BY.

This comprehensive risk assessment, done for a MAR facility, covers two MAR techniques: induced bank filtration and infiltration ditches during the operation and planned potential expansion phases. For this purpose, the semi-quantitative risk assessment matrix and the probabilistic risk assessment – fault tree analysis (PRA-FTA) – methods were used, and their advantages and limitations are analysed. Both methods examine various technical and non-technical risks that may pose a threat to the efficient functioning of the MAR facility in Tarnów, which supplies about 25% of the city’s population with drinking water. This study indicates that the predominant risks potentially reducing MAR efficiency or leading to MAR failure are technical ones. According to the PRA-FTA method, if no preventive measures are taken, there is a 99 and 98% probability of the MAR system's failure during the operational and expansion phases, respectively. The results indicate that the most serious basic risk is associated with the insufficient initial removal from the recharge river water of suspended solids, which clog infiltration ditches. In the future, the negative impacts on the MAR facility may increase as a result of climate change risks – the more frequent occurrence of drought periods and intense short-term rainfall events, and risks associated with the specificity of the study area, i.e. the immediate vicinity of a large industrial zone, where groundwater contamination has been recorded. On the basis of the present results, a detailed risk management plan is to be developed in the next stages of this research. © 2022, The Authors. All rights reserved.
