Walking Nanothermometer

Nanothermometer using single crystal silver nanospheres.

Conventional thermometers have been widely employed in scientific researches and industrial applications. Thermometers with nanometer scaled spatial resolution attract more and more attentions recently with the rapid development of nanotechnology and nanoengineering. Many kinds of nanothermometers have been designed by duplicating the conventional thermometers at nanoscale through decreasing th...

A PNIPAM-based fluorescent nanothermometer with ratiometric readout.

A novel molecular thermometer with ratiometric fluorescence readout was designed and synthesized. Within a sensing temperature range of 33 to 41 °C, the fluorescence color of the nanothermometer changes from blue to green. The ratiometric change magnitude is about 8.7-fold, rendering the visual differentiation of color by the naked eyes feasible.

Walking perception by walking observers.

People frequently analyze the actions of other people for the purpose of action coordination. To understand whether such self-relative action perception differs from other-relative action perception, the authors had observers either compare their own walking speed with that of a point-light walker or compare the walking speeds of 2 point-light walkers. In Experiment 1, observers walked, bicycle...

WALKING WALKing walking: Action Recognition from Action Echoes

Recognizing human actions represented by 3D trajectories of skeleton joints is a challenging machine learning task. In this paper, the 3D skeleton sequences are regarded as multivariate time series, and their dynamics and multiscale features are efficiently learned from action echo states. Specifically, first the skeleton data from the limbs and trunk are projected into five high dimensional no...
