Evaluation of the implementation of International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision for morbidity coding: Rationale and study protocol

International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) has been used for many years in many countries to manage health information. The World Health Organization (WHO) will soon replace ICD-...

Teaching evaluation of “traditional Chinese medicine” course for eight-year undergraduates of Peking Union Medical College

Objective To explore the role of teaching evaluation in the practice of “traditional Chinese medicine” course for eight-year undergraduates of Peking Union Medical College. Methods With a secret questionnaire survey, statistics and summariz...

Data resource profile: a nationally representative linked pregnancy cohort in Canada integrating clinical, social, and environmental data

Introduction Perinatal outcomes are shaped by clinical, social, and environmental factors, yet Canada lacks a nationally representative pregnancy cohort capturing these influences at the individual-level. This gap has limited the ability to...

Linking Data for Mothers and Babies in De-Identified Electronic Health Data.

ObjectiveLinkage of longitudinal administrative data for mothers and babies supports research and service evaluation in several populations around the world. We established a linked mother-baby cohort using pseudonymised, population-level d...

OFDM AF Variable Gain Relay System for the Next Generation Mobile Cellular

In this paper we present analytical performance evaluation of a dual-hop OFDM amplify-andforward (AF) variable gain (VG) relay system implementing ordered subcarrier mapping (SCM) at the relay station (R), considered to be a very interestin...

Optoelectronic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells sensitized with chlorophyll-rich extracts from Physalis angulata L. (mullaca): laboratory and stratospheric evaluation.

A Heuristic Home Electric Energy Management System Considering Renewable Energy Availability

This paper presents the development of a heuristic-based algorithm for a Home Electric Energy Management System (HEEMS). The novelty of the proposal resides in the fact that solutions of the Pareto front, minimizing both the energy consumpt...

The Mode of Constructing Safe Trajectories of Motion of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle while Monitoring Power Lines Considering the Influence of their Electromagnetic Fields

The aim of this paper is to increase the flight safety of an unmanned aerial vehicle that monitors power lines under the negative influence of electromagnetic fields on the on-board equipment. This problem was solved with algorithms for pho...

Extraction and Energy Management of Solar Photovoltaic, Fuel Cell, and Battery Systems Using a Novel Multi Port Power Converter for DC Microgrid Applications

In DC microgrids, efficient power extraction and an effective energy management strategy (EMS) are crucial when integrating multiple power sources. This study presents a novel Four-Port Converter (FPC) configuration designed to extract powe...

Evaluation of distilled water quality and production costs from a modified solar still integrated with an outdoor solar water heater

Solar water distillation is an effective technology for producing potable water using sustainable energy sources. However, the widespread use of this technology in industrial and domestic applications is hindered by low daily production com...

Concurrent frequency–voltage stabilization for hybrid microgrid with virtual inertia support

Abstract This paper presents a novel control scheme for combined frequency and voltage stabilization of an islanded multi‐generator hybrid microgrid (IHμG). The control concept incorporates an improved virtual inertia support scheme (IVIS) ...

Establishment of a Pre-vascularized 3D Lung Cancer Model in Fibrin Gel—Influence of Hypoxia and Cancer-Specific Therapeutics

Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide and the one that causes the highest mortality. In order to understand the disease and to develop new treatments, in vitro human lung cancer model systems which imitate the physio...

Mobile App Prototype in Older Adults for Postfracture Acute Pain Management: User-Centered Design Approach

BackgroundPostfracture acute pain is often inadequately managed in older adults. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can offer opportunities for self-management of pain; however, insufficient apps exist for acute pain management after a fr...

QC-MM: A Metadata and Schema Model for Traceable Quantum-Circuit Experiments

Context: Modern quantum-computing experimentation generates heterogeneous, context-dependent execution data whose scientific value depends on preserving calibration state, compilation decisions, and run outcomes in a traceable and repositor...

Multi-target quantum compilation algorithm

Quantum compilation is the process of converting a target unitary operation into a trainable unitary represented by a quantum circuit. It has a wide range of applications, including gate optimization, quantum-assisted compiling, quantum sta...

Post-quantum cognitive zero trust architecture for healthcare IoT devices.
