Redevelopment of the continuous passive motion machine for stroke and elderly patient by Tai, Kai Jie

“…One of the biggest shortcomings of current models of CPMM is that the machine does not vary the difficulty of the exercise through analysing physiological feedback provided patient and hence a therapist must be by the side of the patient at all times. Other shortcomings of current models include lack of interaction between machine and patient; machines fail to provide valuable feedback to patient and etc. …”

Toward a predict and prevent approach in obstructive airway diseases by Couillard, S, Petousi, N, Smigiel, KS, Molfino, NA

“…Under this framework, undiagnosed and unchecked airway inflammation is associated with recurrent acute attacks, airway remodeling, airflow limitation, adverse effects of corticosteroids, and impaired quality of life, ultimately leading to the collection of side effects termed “people remodeling.” This one-size-fits-all damage control approach aims to control symptoms and treat exacerbations rather than modify the underlying disease process. …”

Object level grouping for video shots by Sivic, J, Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

On-Stack Replacement Across User-Kernel Boundaries by Mohr, Katherine

“…The system discussed in this thesis allows packets which cannot be handled in the kernel to seamlessly continue in user space via on-stack replacement, thus preventing side effects from being executed erroneously. This system for on-stack replacement is very general, allowing execution to switch between code versions at any conditional, and it is novel in its ability to switch stacks across the user-kernel boundary. …”
