Feature maps, that preserve the global topology of arbitrary datasets, can be formed by self-organizing competing agents. So far, it has been presumed that global interaction of agents is necessary for this process. We establish that this is not the case, and that global topology can be uncovered through strictly local interactions. Enforcing uniformity of map quality across all agents results in an algorithm that is able to consistently uncover the global topology of diversely challenging datasets. The applicability and scalability of this approach is further tested on a large point cloud dataset, revealing a linear relation between map training time and size. The presented work not only reduces algorithmic complexity but also constitutes first step towards a distributed self organizing map.

Preemptive identification of potential failure under loading of engineering structures is a critical challenge. Our study presents an innovative approach to design built-in prefailure indicators within multiscale structural designs with optimized load carrying capabilities utilizing the design freedom of topology optimization. The indicators are engineered to visibly signal load conditions approaching the global critical buckling load at predefined locations.

Background: With the global population aging and advancements in the medical system, long-term care in healthcare institutions and home settings has become essential for older adults with disabilities. However, the diverse and scattered care requirements of these individuals make developing effective long-term care plans heavily reliant on professional nursing staff, and even experienced caregivers may make mistakes or face confusion during the care plan development process. Consequently, there is a rigid demand for intelligent systems that can recommend comprehensive long-term care plans for older adults with disabilities who have stable clinical conditions.

Thoracolumbar spinal deformities are a pervasive condition affecting the adolescent and adult patient population. These deformities represent three-dimensional alterations in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes with implication on the local, regional, and global alignment. With continued studies, the importance of the overall correction on long-term outcomes has been established.

Background: In adolescents and adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), right ventricle (RV) electromechanical dyssynchrony (EMD) due to right bundle branch block (RBBB) is associated with reduced exercise capacity and RV dysfunction. While the development of RBBB following surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is a frequent sequela, it is not known whether EMD is present in every patient immediately following rTOF. The specific timing of the onset of RBBB following rTOF therefore provides an opportunity to assess whether acute RBBB is associated with the simultaneous acquisition of EMD.

Satellite-based quantum communication channels are important for ultra-long distances. Given the short duration of a satellite pass, it can be challenging to efficiently connect multiple users of a city-wide network while the satellite is passing over that area. We propose a network with dual-functionality: during a brief satellite pass, the ground network is configured as a multipoint-to-point topology where all ground nodes establish entanglement with a satellite receiver.
