In this paper, we propose a method based on multiple criteria to assist physicians in planning percutaneous RFA on liver. We explain how we extracted information from literature and interviews with radiologists, and formalized them into geometric constraints. We expose then our method to compute the most suitable needle insertion in two steps: computation of authorized insertion zones and multi-criteria optimization of the trajectory within this zones. We focus on the combination of the criteria to optimize and on the optimization step.

Multi-Criteria Performance Analysis Based on Physics of Decision - Application to COVID-19 and Future Pandemics.

The purpose of this study is to present a novel perspective on decision support based on the conventional SEIR pandemic model paradigm considering the risks and opportunities as physical forces deviating the expected performance trajectory of a system. The impact of a pandemic is measured by the deviation of the social system's performance trajectory within the geometrical framework of its Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). According to the overall premise of utilizing Ordinary Differential Equations to simulate epidemics, the deviations are connected to several alternative interventions.

Dust storms are a common phenomenon in arid and semi-arid regions in West Asia, which has led to high levels of PM in local and remote area. The Yazd city in Iran with a high PM level located downstream of dust sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. In this study, based on meteorological and PM monitoring data, backward trajectory modeling of air parcels related to dust events at Yazd station was performed using the HYSPLIT model in 2012-2019.

Using mobile sink increases the coverage time and energy expenditure when there is a burst traffic condition in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Hence, it is essential to handle burst traffic using mobile sinks in an energy-efficient mobility manner. In most studies, mechanisms of the clustering and routing have not taken into account burst traffic.

Purpose: This paper deals with the kinematic modelling of an arm exoskeleton used for human rehabilitation. The biomechanics of the arm was studied and the 9 Degrees of Freedom model was obtained. The particular (optimal) exoskeleton arm configuration is needed, depending on patient abilities and possibility or other users activity.

Purpose: Image-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a broadly used minimally invasive method for the thermal destruction of focal liver malignancies using needle-shaped instruments. The established planning workflow is based on examination of 2D slices and manual definition of the access path. During that process, multiple criteria for all possible trajectories have to be taken into account.
