Remote surgery information requires quick and reliable transmission between the surgeon and the patient side. However, the interconnecting network is usually time varying and lossy which can cause packet loss and delay jitter. In this paper we introduce an adaptive packet prediction and buffer time adjustment algorithm which reduces the negative effects caused by the time varying networks on the transmission of force feedback data. To evaluate our scheme we run a virtual reality applet built in Matlab. Our results show, for severe packet loss and variable delay jitter, the integrated synchronization technique significantly improves the performance of the force feedback device.

This study develops biomimetic strategies for slip prevention in prosthetic hand grasps. The biomimetic system is driven by a novel slip sensor, followed by slip perception and preventive control. Here, we show that biologically inspired sensorimotor pathways can be restored between the prosthetic hand and users.

Introduction: Interpretation and utilization of qualitative feedback from participants has immense value for program evaluation. Reliance on only quantitative data runs the risk of losing the lived patient experience, forcing their outcomes to fit into our predefined objectives.
Objectives: Using large language models (LLMs), program directors may begin to employ rich, qualitative feedback expediently.
Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the solidification of oxidized Earth-similar planets, but the diversity in mean density and irradiation observed in the low-mass exoplanet census motivate exploration of strongly varying geochemical scenarios. We aim to explore how variable redox properties alter the duration of magma ocean solidification, the equilibrium thermodynamic state, melt fraction of the mantle, and atmospheric composition.

Purpose: This study explored the clinical characteristics of patients with tinnitus who responded to sound therapy and established a predictive model to evaluate the effectiveness of this therapy according to the clinical characteristics.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 991 subjective tinnitus patients who received compound sound therapy in the Department of Otolaryngology of the local hospital from November 2019 to January 2022.
Results: We found that tinnitus patients with different therapeutic effects had significant differences in the tinnitus side ( = 0.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a key component of the global climate that is projected to weaken under future anthropogenic climate change. While many studies have investigated the AMOC's response to different levels and types of forcing in climate models, relatively little attention has been paid to the AMOC's sensitivity to the rate of forcing change, despite it also being highly uncertain in future emissions scenarios. In this study, I isolate the AMOC's response to different rates of CO increase in a state-of-the-art global climate model and find that the AMOC undergoes more severe weakening under faster rates of CO change, even when the magnitude of CO change is the same.
