Analysing interventions designed to reduce tuberculosis-related stigma: A scoping review.

Stigma is a critical barrier for TB care delivery; yet data on stigma reduction interventions is limited. This review maps the available literature on TB stigma reduction interventions, using the Health Stigma and Discrimination framework a...

Distributed Multi-Antenna Positioning for Automatic-Guided Vehicle

Radio-based positioning systems are typically utilized to provide high-precision position information for automatic-guided vehicles (AGVs). However, the presence of obstacles in harsh environments, as well as carried cargoes on the AGV, wil...

AlcoLab: a method for methanol screening using density and syringe-flow measurements, implemented as an open-source application.

Neither Telling nor Describing. Reflective Passages and Perceived Reflectiveness 1700–1945

The paper analyses within-fiction reflections in 250 years of literary history. To this end, we formalised the concept of “reflective passage”, demonstrate how our annotation categories are deduced from literary theory and derive three subp...

A comparative study of the state-of-the-art artificial intelligence models for automated plaque measurement in a carotid ultrasound Japanese cohort.

Training‐Efficient Personalised Knee Joint Moment Estimation via an Incremental Broad Learning System

ABSTRACT Knee joint moment estimation is a critical component in biomechanical analysis, with profound implications for rehabilitation assessment and the development of assistive devices like exoskeletons. However, existing data‐driven appr...

Musculoskeletal MRI Relaxometry Phantom for T1, T2 and T1rho Measurements.

Using 311 data to develop an algorithm to identify urban blight for public health improvement.

The growth of administrative data made available publicly, often in near-real time, offers new opportunities for monitoring conditions that impact community health. Urban blight-manifestations of adverse social processes in the urban enviro...

Diminished Auditory Responses during NREM Sleep Correlate with the Hierarchy of Language Processing.

Natural sleep provides a powerful model system for studying the neuronal correlates of awareness and state changes in the human brain. To quantitatively map the nature of sleep-induced modulations in sensory responses we presented participa...

A Semantic Hybrid Temporal Approach for Detecting Driver Mental Fatigue

Driver mental fatigue is considered a major factor affecting driver behavior that may result in fatal accidents. Several approaches are addressed in the literature to detect fatigue behavior in a timely manner through either physiological o...

ILSA: an automated language complexity analysis tool for French

Estimating language complexity is an important aspect of educational measurement and assessment that can be used, for instance, to control for unwanted variance due to language, or to provide students with texts that are conducive to learni...

Long distance high precision positioning system of anchor digger

Aiming at the problems of high labor intensity, low degree of automation and low positioning accuracy of single way in the construction process of existing coal mine anchor digging machine, a long-distance positioning system suitable for an...

An image based application in Matlab for automated modelling and morphological analysis of insect wings

Abstract Despite extensive research on the biomechanics of insect wings over the past years, direct mechanical measurements on sensitive wing specimens remain very challenging. This is especially true for examining delicate museum specimens...

Displacement and Illumination Levels Effect on Short-distance Measurement Errors of Using a Camera

Using a camera for measurement reading is simplified through the incorporation of computer vision application. The variations in the environment’s setting, however, may constitute to the occurrence of measurement errors. A study investigate...

A novel nondestructive detection approach for seed cotton lint percentage using deep learning

Abstract Background The lint percentage of seed cotton is one of the most important parameters for evaluating seed cotton quality and affects its price. The traditional measuring method of lint percentage is labor-intensive and time-consumi...

Geo-Temporal Selective Approach for Dynamic Depth Estimation in Outdoor Object Detection and Distance Measurement

Accurate depth information is crucial for various computer vision applications such as augmented reality, 3D modeling, and autonomous vehicles. Recent advancements have significantly improved both supervised and self-supervised methods for ...

Automated estimation of cementitious sorptivity via computer vision

Monitoring water uptake in cementitious systems is crucial to assess their durability against corrosion, salt attack, and freeze-thaw damage. However, gauging absorption currently relies on labor-intensive and infrequent weight measurements...
