Abstract

Engineering swarms of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is a complex process. We present the CPSwarm workbench that creates an automated design workflow to ease this process. This formalized workflow guides the user from modeling, to code generation, to deployment, both in simulation and on CPS hardware platforms. The workbench combines existing and emerging tools to solve real-world CPS swarm problems. As a proof-of-concept, we use the workbench to design a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for a search and rescue (SAR) use case. We evaluate the resulting swarm behaviors on three levels. First, abstract simulations for rapid prototyping. Second, detailed simulation to test the correctness of the results. Third, deployment on hardware to demonstrate the applicability. We measure the swarm performance in terms of area covered and victims rescued. The results show that the performance of the swarm is proportional to its size. Despite some manual steps, the proposed workbench shows to be well suited to ease the complicated task of deploying a swarm of CPSs.

Abstract

Background Methods Results Conclusions One third of adults with cancer suffer from common mental disorders in addition to their malignant disease. However, it is unknown whether this proportion is the same in patients who have brain tumors and which factors modulate the risk for psychiatric comorbidity.In a multicenter study, patients with high‐grade glioma at 13 neurooncology clinics were enrolled consecutively and interviewed with the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (SCID) to diagnose common mental disorders. Predictors of psychiatric comorbidity were investigated using binary logistic regression.Six hundred ninety‐one patients were interviewed. The proportion of patients who had mental disorders was 31% (95% confidence interval [CI], 28%–35%). There was evidence for an association of psychiatric comorbidity with the following factors: younger age (odds ratio [OR], 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1–3.4; p = .04), stable disease versus complete remission (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1–2.8; p = .04), lower income (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.0–2.8; p = .04), living alone (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.0–2.6; p = .05), fatigue (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.1–2.4; p = .03), and impaired cognitive functioning (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.5–3.6; p < .01). There was no evidence for independent effects of gender, histology, affected lobe, time since diagnosis, or employment status.Approximately one third of adult patients with high‐grade glioma may suffer from a clinically relevant common mental disorder, without notable disparity between the genders. In particular, clinicians should pay attention to possible comorbidities for cases in which patients exhibit compromised subjective cognitive function, are younger than 50 years, maintain a state of stable disease, or live alone.

Abstract

Skin reactions after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with anthracyclines are rare and mostly limited to small areas. We describe a 56-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with epirubicin chemoembolization. Immediately the procedure, pain on the right side and an extended livedo reticularis-like skin reaction appeared. Since dexrazoxane, a topoisomerase-II catalytic-cycle inhibitor, has been shown to be effective in preventing or reducing skin necrosis and ulceration following anthracycline extravasation, the drug was administered 8 h after TACE and repeated in the following 2 days. Due to marked extrahepatic diffusion of epirubicin as evidenced by computed tomography imaging, the patient showed signs of systemic organ involvement. The critically ill patient required close follow-up and intensified treatment including blood supply and pulmonary drainage of a pleural effusion. The patient presented a significant clinical improvement of the skin lesions and resolution of organ involvement with normalization of laboratory parameters after dexrazoxane. In conclusion, adverse extended skin reactions and severe systemic effects related to anthracyclines diffusion could be properly treated with dexrazoxane infusion.

Abstract

A genome-wide SNP scan is used to study the characteristics and causes of the syndromic form of the autosomal-recessive congenital sodium diarrhea (CSD). The classic CSD is shown to be distinct from the syndromic CSD, which is shown to be caused by the mutations caused in SPINT2.

Abstract

In swarm robotics multiple robots collectively solve problems by forming advantageous structures and behaviors similar to the ones observed in natural systems, such as swarms of bees, birds, or fish. However, the step to industrial applications has not yet been made successfully. Literature is light on real-world swarm applications that apply actual swarm algorithms. Typically, only parts of swarm algorithms are used which we refer to as basic swarm behaviors. In this paper we collect and categorize these behaviors into spatial organization, navigation, decision making, and miscellaneous. This taxonomy is then applied to categorize a number of existing swarm robotic applications from research and industrial domains. Along with the classification, we give a comprehensive overview of research platforms that can be used for testing and evaluating swarm behavior, systems that are already on the market, and projects that target a specific market. Results from this survey show that swarm robotic applications are still rare today. Many industrial projects still rely on centralized control, and even though a solution with multiple robots is employed, the principal idea of swarm robotics of distributed decision making is neglected. We identified mainly following reasons: First of all, swarm behavior emerging from local interactions is hard to predict and a proof of its eligibility for applications in an industrial context is difficult to provide. Second, current communication architectures often do not match requirements for swarm communication, which often leads to a system with a centralized communication infrastructure. Finally, testing swarms for real industrial applications is an issue, since deployment in a productive environment is typically too risky and simulations of a target system may not be sufficiently accurate. In contrast, the research platforms present a means for transforming swarm robotics solutions from theory to prototype industrial systems., Melanie Schranz, Martina Umlauft, Micha Sende, Wilfried Elmenreich, EC H2020 No. 731946, Project CPSwarm Open Access-Publikationsfond der Universität Klagenfurt
