Clean-Reference Spatial Filtering for Selective Stroke- Volume Recovery in Electrical Impedance Tomography

This study demonstrates that using a nearby motion-free EIT segment as a local clean reference via principal component analysis can effectively reduce median stroke volume estimation errors in motion-contaminated cardiac electrical impedance tomography, particularly for high-baseline-error windows, though further validation is needed before routine clinical adoption.

Thermoporoelastic flow control strategies for enhancing the longevity of hydraulic fracture-based enhanced geothermal systems

This study utilizes fully-coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical models to demonstrate that while flow-control devices (FCDs) are effective in preventing thermal breakthrough in hydraulic fracture-based enhanced geothermal systems, the optimal strategy for maximizing cumulative net electricity depends on initial flow non-uniformity, requiring either delayed activation or immediate implementation of FCDs respectively.

Tension-Aware Cooperative Trajectory Planning for Cable-Suspended Payload Transport by Two Underwater Vehicles

This paper presents a tension-aware cooperative trajectory planning framework for two six-degree-of-freedom underwater vehicles transporting a cable-suspended payload, which integrates full marine dynamics and a redundant differential-flatness parameterization to guarantee cable tautness through hard constraints in both kinodynamic search and spline optimization, thereby outperforming existing methods in cluttered, drag-dominated environments.
