This thesis develops novel multi-degrees-of-freedom flexure-based force sensors by exploiting white light interferometry. Fabry-Pérot interferometry measurement has nanometric accuracy which yields sub milli-Newton force sensing accuracy. Such force sensin ...
Building occupants are continuously exposed to multiple indoor environmental stimuli, including thermal, visual, acoustic, and air quality related factors. Moreover, personal and contextual aspects can be regarded as additional domains influencing occupant ...
Light field representation promises to overcome the limitations of stereoscopic representation by allowing for a more seamless transition between multiple points of views, thus giving a more faithful representation of 3D scenes. However, in order to take f ...
Laryngeal cancer treatments, while curative, often lead to voice impairment. Minimally invasive surgical methods that facilitate greater preservation of healthy tissue have recently emerged, but they are still limited in important ways. In this work, we de ...
In crowding, perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers. In the traditional feedforward framework of vision, only elements within Bouma’s window interfere with the target and adding more elements always leads to stronger crowdin ...
Traditionally, most multimedia content has been developed to stimulate two of the human senses, i.e., sight and hearing. Due to recent technological advancements, however, innovative services have been developed that provide more realistic, immersive, and ...
Introduction Primary paragangliomas (PG) of the spine are extremely rare entities. The present study reviews our experience over a period of 30 years. Methods This is a retrospective, single center, observational study. Patients surgically treated for a sp ...
In recent years, light field technology has attracted the interest of academia and industry, thanks to the possibility of rendering 3D scenes in a more realistic and immersive way. In particular, light field displays have been consistently investigated for ...
