This work is motivated by robot-sensor network cooperation techniques where sensor nodes (beacons) are used as landmarks for range-only (RO) simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This paper presents a RO-SLAM scheme that actuates over the measurement gathering process using mechanisms that dynamically modify the rate and variety of measurements that are integrated in the SLAM filter. It includes a measurement gathering module that can be configured to collect direct robot-beacon and inter-beacon measurements with different inter-beacon depth levels and at different rates. It also includes a supervision module that monitors the SLAM performance and dynamically selects the measurement gathering configuration balancing SLAM accuracy and resource consumption. The proposed scheme has been applied to an extended Kalman filter SLAM with auxiliary particle filters for beacon initialization (PF-EKF SLAM) and validated with experiments performed in the CONET Integrated Testbed. It achieved lower map and robot errors (34% and 14%, respectively) than traditional methods with a lower computational burden (16%) and similar beacon energy consumption.

Selective binding and fluorescence sensing of Zn(II)/Cd(II) using macrocyclic tetra-amines with different fluorophores: insights into the design of selective chemosensors for transition metals.

Selective binding and optical sensing of Zn(II) and Cd(II) by L1, HL2, L3, HL4 and HL5 receptors were analysed in aqueous solutions by coupling potentiometric, UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission measurements, with the aim to determine the effect of complex stability on selective signalling of metals with similar electronic configurations. All receptors share the same cyclic tetra-amine binding unit attached to a single quinoline (Q) or 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-OHQ) unit (L1 and HL2, respectively), two Q or 8-OHQ moieties (L3 and HL4, respectively), and, finally, two Q and two acetate groups (HL5). The crystal structures of the Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes show that L3 and HL4 feature a cavity in which the larger Cd(II) complex is better fitted than the Zn(II) complex, leading to the formation of more stable Cd(II) complexes.

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are a significant public health concern in developing countries, particularly affecting children (5-9 years) and adolescents (10-12 years). This study investigated the prevalence of STH infections, examined associated risk factors, and assessed their impact on the nutritional status of children and adolescents.
Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted within schools and took place from April to June 2023 and involved 382 participants in Calabar, Nigeria.

Apical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and even endodontists, many clinical problems remain to be overcome. The consensus has gathered well-known domestic experts to hold a series of special discussions and reached the consensus.
