A Clinical Task Force, composed of clinical leaders from Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADC), was convened by the National Institute on Aging to develop a uniform set of assessment procedures to characterize individuals with mild Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment in comparison with nondemented aging. The resulting Uniform Data Set (UDS) defines a common set of clinical observations to be collected longitudinally on ADC participants in accordance with standard methods. The UDS was implemented at all ADCs on September 1, 2005. Data obtained with the UDS are submitted to the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center and represent a unique and valuable source of data to support and stimulate collaborative research.

Structural design usually adopts uniform temperature action. However, during the actual construction of the structure, the temperature field acting on the structure is inhomogeneous. Therefore, the simulation of the construction of statically indeterminate steel structures considering only the uniform temperature field cannot truly reflect the temperature action after structural molding and the evolution of the stress performance of the temporary stress system of structural construction.

Sensor-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is crucial in ubiquitous computing, analyzing behaviors through multi-dimensional observations. Despite research progress, HAR confronts challenges, particularly in data distribution assumptions. Most studies assume uniform data distributions across datasets, contrasting with the varied nature of practical sensor data in human activities.

The continuous, automated monitoring of sensor-based data for walking capacity and mobility has expanded gait analysis applications beyond controlled laboratory settings to real-world, everyday environments facilitated by the development of portable, cost-efficient wearable sensors. In particular, the integration of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) into smart shoes has proven effective for capturing detailed foot movements and spatiotemporal gait characteristics. While IMUs enable accurate foot trajectory estimation through the double integration of acceleration data, challenges such as drift errors necessitate robust correction techniques to ensure reliable performance.

Shock wave boundary/layer interactions (SWBLIs) are critical in high-speed aerodynamic flows, particularly within supersonic regimes, where unsteady dynamics can induce structural fatigue and degrade vehicle performance. Conventional measurement techniques, such as pressure-sensitive paint (PSP), face limitations in frequency response, calibration complexity, and intrusive instrumentation. Similarly, MEMS-based sensors, like Kulite sensors, present challenges in terms of intrusiveness, cost, and integration complexity.
