Analyzing and Modeling the Dynamic Electrical Characteristics of Nanocomposite Large-Range Strain Gauges.

Flexible high-deflection strain gauges have been demonstrated to be cost-effective and accessible sensors for capturing human biomechanical deformations. However, the interpretation of these sensors is notably more complex compared to conventional strain gauges, particularly during dynamic motion. In addition to the non-linear viscoelastic behavior of the strain gauge material itself, the dynamic response of the sensors is even more difficult to capture due to spikes in the resistance during strain path changes.

The Effect of Social Media Consumption on Emotion and Executive Functioning in College Students: an fNIRS Study in Natural Environment.

As of 2023, 69% of adults and 81% of teens in the U.S. use social media.

Significant Environmental Factors in the Drift of Electrical Properties in Conductive Nano-Composite Sensors for Biomechanical Motion-Tracking.

Wearable nanocomposite stretch sensors are an exciting new development in biomaterials for biomechanical motion-tracking technology, with applications in the treatment of low back pain, knee rehabilitation, fetal movement tracking, and other fields. When strained, the resistance of the low-cost sensors is reduced, enabling human motion to be monitored using a suitable sensor array. However, current sensor technologies have exhibited significant drift, in the form of increased electrical resistance, if left stored in typical room conditions.

Low-cost and label-free blue light cystoscopy through digital staining of white light cystoscopy videos.

Background: Bladder cancer is the 10 most common malignancy and carries the highest treatment cost among all cancers. The elevated cost stems from its high recurrence rate, which necessitates frequent surveillance. White light cystoscopy (WLC), the standard of care surveillance tool to examine the bladder for lesions, has limited sensitivity for early-stage bladder cancer.
