Seafloor video-acoustic monitoring in a Greenlandic glacial fjord records hyperbenthos, backward-swimming fish, and narwhals
Autonomous video-acoustic monitoring at the sea-floor can improve our understanding of poorly documented ecosystems and help interpret active or passive acoustic data, but it has been rarely carried out, particularly in the Arctic. This study deployed a video camera synchronized with a hydrophone…

Individual and ensemble perception in naturalistic scenes: Effects of context and presentation time
In many everyday tasks, we must identify both single objects, as well as object ensembles. Our understanding of the mechanisms behind individual and ensemble perception comes mainly from studies conducted under very simplistic conditions. Here, we aim to further this understanding by moving toward…

From movement to METs: A validation of ActTrust® for energy expenditure estimation and physical activity classification in young adults
Estimating physical activity (PA) levels is a challenging and expensive task. An alternative could be the use of actigraphy devices to estimate PA. This has been previously done to a number of devices, including ActiGraph® GT3X + . In this study, we validated ActTrust® against the widely used GT3X+…

PDE and agent based simulation approaches to Ischemic Dermal Wound Closure
Ischemic dermal wounds present a significant medical challenge, especially in the case where the wound does not close in an expected time, typically 30 days. We developed two very different mathematical models of symmetric flat wounds, one by Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and another by…

An improved control strategy of power-frequency characteristics of virtual synchronous generator
A coupling relationship exists between virtual inertia J and damping coefficient D in traditional virtual synchronous generator (VSG). While a large virtual inertia enhances the VSG’s frequency support capability, it may also induce active power oscillations or significant overshoot during load…
