Post‐Earthquake Fold Growth Imaged in the Qaidam Basin, China, With Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar

09 Jul 2024  |  hal.science
The study investigates the development of folds and their interactions with seismic faults in the North Qaidam thrust system in NE Tibet using 16 years of interferometric synthetic aperture radar data. It reveals long-term spatio-temporal changes in post-earthquake surface displacement rates and patterns, indicating transient uplift and shortening consistent with kinematic models of folding. The findings suggest anelastic fold buckling during the post-earthquake phase and highlight the role of distributed aseismic deformation in topography growth.

Contextualizing remote fall risk: Video data capture and implementing ethical AI

01 Jan 2024  |  Nature
The article explores the use of wearable technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to assess fall risk in individuals, particularly those with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. It highlights the limitations of using inertial measurement units (IMUs) alone and proposes the integration of wearable cameras to provide contextual environmental data. Ethical concerns regarding privacy are addressed through the use of AI-based computer vision (CV) to anonymize sensitive information in video data. The study showcases a pilot test conducted at Northumbria University, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed model in real-world settings. The article suggests that combining IMU data with video context can significantly enhance personalized fall risk assessments and proposes further research to refine these technologies for broader clinical applications.

Sonification for Personalised Gait Intervention

22 Dec 2023  |  MDPI
Mobility challenges, particularly in older adults and individuals with conditions like Parkinson's disease, can significantly impact quality of life. Gait rehabilitation using personalized auditory cues, specifically sonification, shows promise in improving mobility and engagement. Sonification, which uses non-speech audio to convey information, has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing freezing-of-gait and improving gait consistency. Advanced audio processing techniques like time-stretching and pitch shifting can further enhance these interventions. Continued clinical research is needed to optimize these methods and ensure their long-term effectiveness and user engagement.

Britain's shoplifting epidemic makes it feel like Iceland staff are on the frontline of a war - we've lost £20m this year to thefts but we're not allowed to share CCTV of prolific offenders
