Using generalized random forests to characterize vulnerability to adverse health outcomes following wildfire smoke exposure in California

Background: As the health burden attributable to wildfire activity increases under climate change, it is crucial to determine which subgroups face heightened vulnerability to wildfire smoke. Marginalized communities may experience dispropor...

The Impacts of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence On Business and Economics

In the Industrial Age that humanity has entered long time ago with steam series has caused to primitive mechanization in production. With the development of internet and mobile technologies, electronics, nano technology, advances in medicin...

The Integration of Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality in Dental Diagnostics, Surgical Planning, and Education: A Narrative Review

(1) Background: Advancements in dental imaging technologies have significantly transformed diagnostic and surgical practices. The integration of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and...

Is exposure to online misogyny associated with mental health outcomes in girls and young women? A systematic review of longitudinal studies.

Association between phthalate exposure and accelerated bone maturation in Chinese girls with early puberty onset: a propensity score-matched case–control analysis

Abstract Estrogen can promote the acceleration of bone maturation and phthalate esters (PAEs) have estrogen-mimicking effects. We investigated whether PAEs are associated with the acceleration of bone age (BA) in girls with early onset of p...

Occupational exposures, complementarity and the potential consequences of A.I. for the labour market: some evidence from Ireland

Abstract The adoption of AI technology by industry could significantly disrupt our current understanding of “typical” economic activity. As AI comes to pervade more sectors and occupations over time, it is likely that this technology will g...

Spatio-temporal assessment of Toumeyella parvicornis spread in mediterranean coastal pine forests through sentinel-2 data

Mediterranean coastal pine forests offer vital ecological and cultural benefits but face threats from climate change, urbanization, and pests. Among invasive agents, Toumeyella parvicornis is a severe threat to Pinus pinea along Italy's coa...

Artificial intelligence and employment

Recent years have seen impressive advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and this has stoked renewed concern about the impact of technological progress on the labour market, including on worker displacement. This paper looks at the possib...

A satellite-derived, ground-measurement-independent monthly PM2.5 mass concentration dataset over China during 2000 - 2015

Following the accelerated development of urbanization and industrialization, atmospheric particulate matter has become a significant threat to public health globally. Environmental health studies usually use the mass concentration of fine p...

Artificial Intelligence for Efficient Thermal Comfort Systems: Requirements, Current Applications and Future Directions

In buildings, one or a combination of systems (e.g., central HVAC system, ceiling fan, desk fan, personal heater, and foot warmer) are often responsible for providing thermal comfort to the occupants. While thermal comfort has been shown to...

Introduction to artificial intelligence

"Are we intelligent enough to understand intelligence? One approach to answering this question is "artificial intelligence," the field of computer science that studies how machines can be made to act intelligently. This book is intended to ...

Colonoscopy Quality and Strategies for Improvement

Colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and reduces CRC incidence and mortality. Its effectiveness depends on colonoscopist performance, which can vary. Missed lesions during colonoscopy can lead to post-colono...

Electromagnetic Field Distribution Mapping: A Taxonomy and Comprehensive Review of Computational and Machine Learning Methods

Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure mapping is increasingly important for ensuring compliance with safety regulations, supporting the deployment of next-generation wireless networks, and addressing public health concerns. While numerous su...

Research on pH Value Detection Method during Maize Silage Secondary Fermentation Based on Computer Vision

pH value is a crucial indicator for evaluating silage quality. In this study, taking maize silage as the research object, a quantitative prediction model of pH value change during the secondary fermentation of maize silage was constructed b...

InsDD-YOLO: Detection of Transmission Line Insulator Damage Based on the Improved YOLOv13 Model

Amidst the rapid global expansion of smart grids, ensuring the safety and reliability of power transmission systems has become paramount. Insulators are critical components of high-voltage transmission lines, providing both electrical insul...
