YARP-ROS Inter-Operation in a 2D Navigation Task

This paper presents some recent F-Connector developments in YARP middleware, aimed to improve its integration with ROS.They include a new mechanism to read/write ROS transform frames and a new set of standard interfaces to intercommunicate with the ROS navigation stack.A novel set of YARP companion modules, which provide basic navigation functional

Supplemental LED Lighting Effectively Enhances the Yield and Quality of Greenhouse Truss Tomato Production: Results of a Meta-Analysis

Intensive growing systems used for greenhouse tomato production, together with light interception by cladding materials or other devices, may induce intracanopy mutual shading and create suboptimal environmental conditions for plant growth.There are a large number of published peer-reviewed studies assessing the effects of supplemental light-emitti

Multimodality imaging of paragangliomas of the head and neck

Abstract Paragangliomas arise from paraganglion cells which serve varied regulatory tasks in the body.When these cells demonstrate neoplasia within the head and neck, they typically present in characteristic locations including the carotid space, the jugular foramen, the middle ear, and along the course of the vagus nerve.The Protective Jeans goal

Progress towards an Autonomous Field Deployable Diode-Laser-Based Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) for Profiling Water Vapor in the Lower Troposphere

A laser transmitter has been developed and incorporated into a micro-pulse differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for water vapor profiling in the lower troposphere as an Apparel important step towards long-term autonomous field operation.The laser transmitter utilizes two distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) diode lasers to injection seed a pulsed tape
