Previous studies have shown there is a relationship between sleep and mobility in older adults by collecting and analysing self-reported data from surveys and questionnaires, or by using objective measures from polysomnography or actigraphy. However, these methods have limitations for long-term monitoring, especially for community-dwelling adults. In this paper, we investigate the association between sleep and indoor mobility using longitudinal data collected over a period of about 12 months for older adults (65 years or older) living at home in Australia. The data was collected objectively and continuously using non-invasive and passive sensors. First, we explored whether sleep and indoor mobility are different across gender and age groups (70s, 80s, and 90s). Second, we investigate the association of sleep and next-day indoor mobility through a stepwise multivariate regression. We found that males and females have significant differences in mobility, time in bed, total time in sleep, number and duration of awakenings and sleep efficiency. Additionally, mobility and all sleep measures significantly vary across the three age groups, except for sleep onset latency between 80s and 90s. Our findings show that sleep efficiency and total sleep time are the key sleep measures affecting next-day mobility, while sleep onset latency has the least effect.Clinical relevance - Our study contributes to a better understanding of the sleep patterns of older adults and how they affect their physical functioning.

Personalised estimation of exposure to ambient air pollution and application in a longitudinal cohort analysis of cognitive function in London-dwelling older adults.

Background: Accurate estimates of personal exposure to ambient air pollution are difficult to obtain and epidemiological studies generally rely on residence-based estimates, averaged spatially and temporally, derived from monitoring networks or models. Few epidemiological studies have compared the associated health effects of personal exposure and residence-based estimates.
Objective: To evaluate the association between exposure to air pollution and cognitive function using exposure estimates taking mobility and location into account.

Ground-level ozone (O) can infiltrate indoor environments, severely impacting the environment and human health. Moisture-induced catalyst deactivation is a major challenge in catalytic ozone removal. MOF-template-derived heterojunctions supported by carbon materials can prevent chemisorption of water vapor at active sites.

In field of location prediction, trajectory recognition is one of the most widely research issues. Since trajectory includes various information such as position, time, and speed, many scientific methods are applied to extracting meaningful features, and discovering valuable knowledges. This paper pays more attention on case study of in-store trajectory, and proposes a series of recurrent neural network (RNN) for location prediction based on trajectory.

Handheld LiDAR scanners, which typically consist of a LiDAR sensor, Inertial Measurement Unit, and processor, enable data capture while moving, offering flexibility for various applications, including indoor and outdoor 3D mapping in fields such as architecture and civil engineering. Unlike fixed LiDAR systems, handheld devices allow data collection from different angles, but this mobility introduces challenges in data quality, particularly when initial calibration between sensors is not precise. Accurate LiDAR-IMU calibration, essential for mapping accuracy in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping applications, involves precise alignment of the sensors' extrinsic parameters.

This exploratory qualitative study examines the challenges faced by manual wheelchair (MWC) users and their clinicians, with a focus on mobility difficulties in both outdoor and indoor environments, as well as training priorities. The study involved semi-structured interviews with 18 clinicians and 25 MWC users from various rehabilitation centres. The interviews, lasting between 30 and 60 minutes, explored specific aspects of MWC use, including mobility challenges, training needs, and psychological factors.
