Based on the transformation optics, a general method of light-behavior remote control is proposed. From this method, the important coefficients of a cavity, i.e. the quality factor Q and the resonant frequency ?0 could be tuned in a wide range by a transformation optical device in distance, so that the light behavior can be remotely controlled. To confirm this original idea, three schemes, such as, the remote modification of output energy current from an absorptive cavity, the remote control of lasing behaviors, and the remote tuning of the resonant frequency or photonic band-gap, are presented and confirmed by our numerical simulations based on finite-difference time-domain and finite-element methods. With some special advantages, e.g., without physical change or damage of original devices, large tuning range, and easily to hide the controller, this method could be widely used in optical/photonic or electromagnetic designs in the future.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) are a rapidly expanding technology that operates within the larger complex aviation system. As a result, protective frameworks and risk controls for supporting safe operation are still developing. Adverse events are occurring, yet it is unclear what systemic factors interact to create them.

Background: Telestroke assessments are widely used to remotely assess adults with suspected stroke, although they have not been studied in children. SPOT, the Study of Performing the PedNIHSS Over Televideo, tested the feasibility of assessing the Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS) by televideo in children.

Methods: Children aged 2 to 17 years with and without strokes were recruited and examined in the outpatient neurology clinic.

Background: Traditional in-clinic methods of collecting self-reported information are costly, time-consuming, subjective, and often limited in the quality and quantity of observation. However, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) provide complementary information to in-clinic visits by collecting real-time, frequent, and longitudinal data that are ecologically valid. While these methods are promising, they are often prone to various technical obstacles.

Understanding and monitoring wildlife behavior is crucial in ecology and biomechanics, yet challenging due to the limitations of current methods. To address this issue, we introduce WildPose, a novel long-range motion capture system specifically tailored for free-ranging wildlife observation. This system combines an electronically controllable zoom-lens camera with a LiDAR to capture both 2D videos and 3D point cloud data, thereby allowing researchers to observe high-fidelity animal morphometrics, behavior and interactions in a completely remote manner.

BACKGROUND Remote exercise have emerged as a promising solution to overcome barriers to physical activity participation in pre-frail older adults, such as limited mobility and accessibility issues. Pre-frail older adults often face barriers to physical activity due to limited mobility and accessibility, underscoring the need for remote exercise alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of remote versus in-person exercise in improving physical function in pre-frail older adults.
