Abstract. In recent years a wide range of 3D multi sensor systems for various applications has been proposed. Each them its own benefits and limitations. This paper proposes modified unicycle with 2D laser profiler attached to the wheel axle, thus creating radial scanning pattern. novel low-cost device combines advantages wheeled equipment those wearable or hand-held devices. After presenting h...

I took great interest in the recent article regarding the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) transplantation by Falkner-Radler et al. I agree that RPE cell transplantation might be a novel therapeutic option for patients in the antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) era, where antiVEGF fails to improve visual acuity. This is the case in RPE tear, massive subretinal haemorrhage or anti...

Extracting gravitational wave (GW) signals from individual Galactic binaries (GBs) against their self-generated confusion noise is a key data analysis challenge for space-borne detectors operating in the $\approx 0.1$ mHz to 10$ range. Given likely prospect that there will be multiple such detectors, namely LISA, Taiji, and Tianqin, with overlapping operational periods next decade, it important...

Radiographs have been used as tools of diagnosis, prognosis and in selection and evaluation of treatment modalities of various types of deformities and fractures of the foot (Katz et al., 1997; Igbibi & Mutesasira, 2003; Dooley et al., 2004; Dobbs et al., 2006; Westberry et al., 2007; Aminian & Sangeorzan, 2008; Radler et al., 2010). Lateral talocalcaneal angle (L TCA) is an angle formed by a l...
