In this paper, we present a method for synchronizing high-speed audio and video recordings of bio-acoustic experiments. By embedding a random signal into the recorded video and audio data, robust synchronization of a diverse set of sensor streams can be performed without the need to keep detailed records. The synchronization can be performed using recording devices without dedicated synchronization inputs. We demonstrate the efficacy of the approach in two sets of experiments: behavioral experiments on different species of echolocating bats and the recordings of field crickets. We present the general operating principle of the synchronization method, discuss its synchronization strength and provide insights into how to construct such a device using off-the-shelf components.

Introduction: Vocal distortion, also known as a scream or growl, is used worldwide as an essential technique in singing, especially in rock and metal, and as an ethnic voice in Mongolian singing. However, the production mechanism of vocal distortion is not yet clearly understood owing to limited research on the behavior of the larynx, which is the source of the distorted voice.

Objectives: This study used high-speed digital imaging (HSDI) to observe the larynx of professional singers with exceptional singing skills and determine the laryngeal dynamics in the voice production of various vocal distortions.

Construction Jobsite Image Classification Using an Edge Computing Framework.

Sensors (Basel)

October 2024

Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA.

Image classification is increasingly being utilized on construction sites to automate project monitoring, driven by advancements in reality-capture technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). Deploying real-time applications remains a challenge due to the limited computing resources available on-site, particularly on remote construction sites that have limited telecommunication support or access due to high signal attenuation within a structure. To address this issue, this research proposes an efficient edge-computing-enabled image classification framework for support of real-time construction AI applications.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists talked about how they used a special robot to do surgery on a man with prostate cancer who lived far away (1300 kilometers) in China.
  • They used a fast 5G network, and everything went smoothly with no connection problems, making the surgery last only 60 minutes.
  • The patient recovered well, didn’t lose much blood, and was able to walk soon after the surgery, showing that using technology like this can work well for medical treatments.

Anterior intradural extramedullary meningiomas are intimidating, especially in the thoracic spine due to the spinal cord impeding conventional surgical corridor, restricted space, and precarious cord vascularity. This is possibly the first report in the literature of a minimally invasive surgery: far-lateral hybrid exoscopic and angled endoscopic approach for an anterior thoracic spine meningioma. A 60-year-old woman presented with an anterior T1-2 meningioma with a flattened cord draping over the tumor more toward the right, leaving a potential corridor on the left lateral aspect (Video 1).

The use of pigs as an experimental animal model is especially relevant in neuroscience research, as the porcine and human central nervous systems (CNS) share many important functional and architectural properties. Consequently, pigs are expected to have an increasingly important role in future research on various neurological diseases. Here, a method to perform an anterior craniectomy through the porcine frontal bone is described.
