Properties of slow magneto-acoustic waves observed simultaneously using Hi-C 2.1 and AIA
Propagating slow magneto-acoustic waves are commonly observed in different coronal structures but are most prominent in active region fan loops. Their rapid damping with damping lengths of the order of a wavelength has been investigated in the past by several authors. Although different physical mechanisms have been proposed, significant discrepancies between the theory and observations remain. Recent high-resolution observations captured simultaneously by two different instruments reveal disti…

SAVOR: Skill Affordance Learning from Visuo-Haptic Perception for Robot-Assisted Bite Acquisition
Robot-assisted feeding requires reliable bite acquisition, a challenging task due to the complex interactions between utensils and food with diverse physical properties. These interactions are further complicated by the temporal variability of food properties-for example, steak becomes firm as it cools even during a meal. To address this, we propose SAVOR, a novel approach for learning skill affordances for bite acquisition-how suitable a manipulation skill (e.g., skewering, scooping) is for a …

Think Small, Act Big: Primitive Prompt Learning for Lifelong Robot Manipulation
Building a lifelong robot that can effectively leverage prior knowledge for continuous skill acquisition remains significantly challenging. Despite the success of experience replay and parameter-efficient methods in alleviating catastrophic forgetting problem, naively applying these methods causes a failure to leverage the shared primitives between skills. To tackle these issues, we propose Primitive Prompt Learning (PPL), to achieve lifelong robot manipulation via reusable and extensible primi…

The Use of Alendronate to Enhance Transcranial Transmission of Focused Ultrasound for Successful Ablations in Brain
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of alendronate therapy in improving bone density distribution in skull bones and corresponding ultrasound permeability in patients who had previously experienced unsuccessful transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ablation. The ability of alendronate treatment to modify skull bone characteristics and enhance the success rate of repeat MRgFUS procedures was assessed. Methods: Five patients with initially unsuccessful MRg…
