Abstract

The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) brought together for the first time in history nine autonomous racing teams competing at unprecedented speed and in head-to-head scenario, using independently developed software on open-wheel racecars. This paper presents the complete software architecture used by team TII EuroRacing (TII-ER), covering all the modules needed to avoid static obstacles, perform active overtakes and reach speeds above 75 m/s (270 km/h). In addition to the most common modules related to perception, planning, and control, we discuss the approaches used for vehicle dynamics modelling, simulation, telemetry, and safety. Overall results and the performance of each module are described, as well as the lessons learned during the first two events of the competition on oval tracks, where the team placed respectively second and third., Comment: Preprint: Accepted to Field Robotics "Opportunities and Challenges with Autonomous Racing" Special Issue

Abstract

Background Based on the volume of tissue removed, conservative surgery (BCS) cannot always guarantee satisfactory cosmetic results, unless resorting to more complex oncoplastic approaches. Investigating an alternative to optimize aesthetic outcomes minimizing surgical complexity, was the purpose of this study. We assessed an innovative surgical procedure based on the use of a biomimetic polyurethane-based scaffold intended for regenerating soft-tissue resembling fat, in patients undergoing BCS for non-malignant breast lesions. Safety and performance of the scaffold, and safety and feasibility of the entire implant procedure were evaluated. Methods A volunteer sample of 15 female patients underwent lumpectomy with immediate device positioning, performing seven study visits with six-month follow-up. We evaluated incidence of adverse events (AEs), changes in breast appearance (using photographs and anthropomorphic measurements), interference with ultrasound and MRI (assessed by two independent investigators), investigator’s satisfaction (through a VAS scale), patient’s pain (through a VAS scale) and quality of life (QoL) (using the BREAST-Q© questionnaire). Data reported are the results of the interim analysis on the first 5 patients. Results No AEs were device related nor serious. Breast appearance was unaltered and the device did not interference with imaging. High investigator’s satisfaction, minimal post-operative pain and positive impact on QoL were also detected. Conclusions Albeit on a limited number of patients, data showed positive outcomes both in terms of safety and performance, paving the way to an innovative breast reconstructive approach with a potential remarkable impact on clinical application of tissue engineering. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04131972, October 18, 2019).

20. Poly(amidoamine)s of biotechnological interest

Author

MARTELLO, FEDERICO

Abstract

Poly(amidoamine)s (PAAs) represent a promising material for drug delivery applications. They are synthetic functional polymers endowed with a combination of properties making them suitable for a variety of biomedical applications mostly related to drug delivery systems. PAAs can be obtained by stepwise polyaddition of primary or secondary aliphatic amines to bisacrylamides. The synthesis is carried out in water or protic solvent, with a mild base and at room temperature. In the first section of this thesis, a group of novel amphoteric PAAs homo- and copolymers containing secondary and tertiary amine groups in their main chain and different structures in the bisacrylamide segments were synthesized and evaluated as magnetic nanoparticles coating agents. In the second section of this thesis, a general method for preparing linear high polymers of peptides was investigated. Polymers with an average molecular weight included in the range 3000 ? 40000 were obtained by Michael polyaddition reaction between 2,2-bisacrylamidoacetic acid or N,N?-bisacryloylpiperazine and glutathione (reduced and oxidised) or the RGD peptide. In preliminary biological tests these polymers showed a good values of zeta potential and negligible values of cytotoxicity and haemolytic activity. Further in vitro tests are in progress to investigate the biological properties of these polymers in comparison with the parent peptides. In the third section of this thesis, gene delivery properties of new hyperbranched PAAs, containing disulfide linkages in the main chain, were investigated in comparison with the relevant linear polymers. Structural characterization of the polymers synthesized and the reactivity of the monomers utilized were also determined. The results shown by these polymers in DNA transfection are very promising and encourage further studies in vitro with these biodegradable hyperbranched PAAs to test the effect, on transfection efficiency, of different terminal groups.
