OBJECTIVES: To compare the perioperative and oncological outcomes between robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion versus open cystectomy for bladder cancer in a contemporary Enhanced Recovery After Surgery cohort.
Recent studies have addressed the various benefits of companion robots and expanded the research scope to their design. However, the viewpoints of older adults have not been deeply investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the distinctive ...
The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is best known for its unique acoustic-based foraging behavior called 'tap-scanning' or 'percussive foraging'. The tap-scanning is a unique behavior allowing aye-aye to locate small cavities beneath tree bark...
In this study, the stable proportional-derivative (PD) controller gains for pitch control (longitudinal control) are obtained using the linearized and non-coupled longitudinal-mode flight dynamics model of the tailless, hover-capable, flapping wing r...
We observe that the Atlantic razor clam (Ensis directus) burrows out of sand rapidly by simply extending and contracting its muscular foot. This is notably different from its well-known downward burrowing strategy or the dual-anchor mechanism, where ...
