Embodied intelligence is the computational approach to the design and understanding of intelligent behavior in embodied and situated agents through the consideration of the strict coupling between the agent and its environment (situatedness), mediated by the constraints of the agent’s own body, perceptual and motor system, and brain (embodiment). The emergence of the field of embodied intellige...

To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of bipolar radiofrequency ablation (b-RFA) with increased (> 70 °C) target temperature for treatment spine metastases intent achieving pain relief or local tumor control. Thirty-one patients a total 37 who were treated b-RFA vertebroplasty from January 2016 to May 2019 retrospectively included. There 20 women 11 men mean age 62.4 ± 10.5 (SD) years...

AIM To evaluate the role of low mechanical index (MI) contrast-enhanced sonography (CEUS) for the characterization of small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) in cirrhotic patients by comparing the results to ultrafast dynamic gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between September 2003 and June 2004, 73 patients (49 male and 24 female; mean age, 63 ...

Power system inertia is an essential part of grid frequency control. The number synchronously connected machines, which inherently provide inertia, decreasing due to the transition renewable energies. Conventional generation units are being replaced by via converters. Some power systems already suffer from too little inertia. Hence, a valuable yet non-traded commodity. A day-ahead dispatch meth...
