Use of 2H and 18O stable isotopes to investigate water sources for different ages of Populus euphratica along the lower Heihe River
Investigation of the water sources used by trees of different ages is essential to formulate a conservation strategy for the riparian tree, P. euphratica. This study addressed the contributions of different poten...

Tracking of Carotid Arteries in Ultrasound Images
We introduce an automated method for the 3D tracking of carotids acquired as a sequence of 2D ultrasound images. The method includes an image stabilization step that compensates for the cardiac and respiratory...

A Dual Neural Network for Bi-criteria Torque Optimization of Redundant Robot Manipulators
A dual neural network is presented for the bi-criteria joint torque optimization of kinematically redundant manipulators, which balances between the total energy consumption and the torque distribution among t...
