We demonstrated the in vivo feasibility of using focused ultrasound (FUS) to transiently modulate (through either stimulation or suppression) the function of regional brain tissue in rabbits. FUS was delivered in a train of pulses at low acoustic energy, far below the cavitation threshold, to the animal's somatomotor and visual areas, as guided by anatomical and functional information from magn...

One of the major challenges in Human Activity Recognition (HAR) based on machine learning is scarcity labeled data. Indeed, collecting a sufficient amount training data to build reliable recognition problem often prohibitive. Among many solutions literature mitigate this issue, collaborative emerging as promising direction distribute annotation burden over multiple users that cooperate shared m...

Collaborative Web Search is an approach to Web search that takes advantage of ideas from casebased reasoning in order to improve upon the results of a standard search engine. It retrieves and reuses the prior search experiences of a community of like-minded searchers. Collaborative Web search contemplates a society of differently focused communities, each with their own case-base of search expe...

Reflective practice has long been understood to be integral the arts, but predominantly conceptualised in terms of tacit or individual activity. Identifying need reimagine and deepen reflective higher arts education as explicit, collaborative, integrally connected artistic practice, this article explores potential a matrix focused on ensemble practices, teamwork collaborative learning for promo...

The family medicine researches flourished worldwide in the past decade. However, the collaborative patterns of family medicine publications had not been reported. Our study analyzed the collaborative activity of family medicine researchers in Taiwan. We focused on the types of collaboration among disciplines, institutions and countries. We searched "family medicine" AND "Taiwan" in address fiel...

This paper describes the use of Au nanocages covered with smart, thermally-responsive polymers for controlled release with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). HIFU is a highly precise medical procedure that uses focused ultrasound to heat and destroy pathogenic tissue rapidly and locally in a non-invasive or minimally invasive manner. The released dosage could be remotely controlled by ma...

It is widely recognized that learners are empowered by interacting with peers on relevant, contentrelated matters, and are encouraged to feel involved in their own educational process. In order to really support learning, however, interactions need to be structured and organized by means of some suitable pedagogical approach. In this chapter, the author argues that narratives (in the form of bo...
