Exploring the effectivity of AND/OR landmark extraction on modern planning domains

This paper explores the application of landmark-based planning algorithms, specifically focusing on AND/OR landmark extraction methods. Drawing from classical planning principles and recent advancements, we investigate the effectiveness of landmark extraction in guiding the search for solutions to planning problems. Our research questions center...

Fingerprinting stain fields in tissue rupture: A conceptual approach: DIC in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the underlying cause of 50% of deaths in western society. Although screening methodologies exist, plaques are highly complex, and the parameters used to measure plaque vulnerability are often insufficient for correct medical screening. Since plaque rupture occurs when the vascular forces exceed the plaque...

Radio Frequency Identification in the Operating Room: A systematic approach to test the feasibility of RFID in the operating room for surgical phase recognition

Hospitals are facing enormous financial pressure over the last years. To achieve lower costs, hospitals should invest in smart ways of working to make optimal use of the scarce capacities. A solution can be digitising processes in the hospital to prevent it from making more costs. In line with this founding, planning and scheduling of the...

DNA-origami scaffold for NPC mimics

In eukaryotic cells, the segregation of nuclear information from the cytosol is carried out by the Nuclear Envelope, a double lipid membrane which protects the genes from cytoplasmic mutagens. To establish a connection between the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, tiny pores named Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) span through such membrane. The biological...
