Accelerating rehabilitation through AR/VR solutions
(2024)Smart VR/AR/MR Systems for ProfessionalsRehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring or optimizing physical, mental, and social functions compromised by illness, injury, trauma, or aging. With an aging population, an increase in chronic diseases, and a shortage of rehabilitation professionals, the demand for rehabilitation services is growing. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for rehabilitation due to disabilities caused by the disease. This chapter ...Book Chapter -
Revolutionizing computer-aided design with virtual reality
(2024)Smart VR/AR/MR Systems for ProfessionalsVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have gained significant traction in various fields, including computer-aided design (CAD). This work focuses on exploring the strengths and limitations of AR and VR for CAD applications. AR proves to be well-suited for visualizing and manipulating digital models in real-world environments by overlaying 3D models onto physical objects. It enables design reviews, simulations, and ...Book Chapter -
Pricing Autocallables under Local-Stochastic Volatility
(2023)Peter Carr Gedenkschrift. Research Advances in Mathematical FinanceThis chapter investigates the pricing of single-asset autocallable barrier reverse convertibles in the Heston local-stochastic volatility (LSV) model. Despite their complexity, autocallable structured notes are the most traded equity-linked exotic derivatives. The autocallable payoff embeds an early redemption feature generating strong path and model dependency. Consequently, the commonly used local volatility (LV) model is overly simplified ...Book Chapter -
Approximation with Independent Variables
(2023)Peter Carr Gedenkschrift. Research Advances in Mathematical FinanceGiven a square integrable m-dimensional random variable X on a probability space (Ω, ℱ, ℙ) and a sub sigma-algebra A, we show that there exists another m-dimensional random variable Y, independent of A and minimizing the L² distance to X. Such results have an importance to fairness and bias reduction in artificial intelligence, machine learning and network theory.Book Chapter -
Dietary Change and Global Sustainable Development Goals
(2024)Frontiers Research Topics ~ How to Achieve a Planetary Health Diet Through System and Paradigm Change?Food production for human consumption is a leading cause of environmental damage in the world and yet over two billion people suffer from malnutrition. Several studies have presented evidence that changes in dietary patterns across the world can lead to win-win outcomes for environmental and social sustainability and can complement ongoing technological and policy efforts to improve the efficiency of agricultural production. However, the ...Book Chapter -

Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity
(2024)Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial ScienceUrban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e. indicator for ...Book Chapter -

Toward the “Perfect” Shunt: Historical Vignette, Current Efforts, and Future Directions
(2024)Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ~ Advances and Technical Standards in NeurosurgeryAs a concept, drainage of excess fluid volume in the cranium has been around for more than 1000 years. Starting with the original decompression-trepanation of Abulcasis to modern programmable shunt systems, to other nonshunt-based treatments such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy and choroid plexus cauterization, we have come far as a field. However, there are still fundamental limitations that shunts have yet to overcome: namely ...Book Chapter
