Article Synopsis
  • The paper explores how to localize groups of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) that deal with random measurement delays while they lack global communication capabilities.
  • It introduces a new method called the Cubature Kalman Hybrid Consensus Filter (CKHCF), which allows USVs to share localization data based on distance and angle measurements, improving their overall accuracy.
  • The study demonstrates the algorithm's reliability and effectiveness through rigorous mathematical proof and simulation experiments.

Article Synopsis
  • Team familiarity among cardiac surgery teams may improve intraoperative efficiency, as indicated by shorter cardiopulmonary bypass durations in medium and high-risk patients.
  • A study of 4,445 adult cardiac surgeries showed that while team familiarity positively affected surgical time, it did not significantly impact rates of major morbidity or mortality.
  • The findings suggest that enhancing team familiarity could be an effective strategy for improving the quality of care in cardiac surgery without negatively affecting patient outcomes.
