Errors in the administration of intravenous medications in hospital and the role of correct procedures and nurse experience
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and the Health Foundation, 26 M)Background Intravenous medication administrations have a high incidence of error but there is limited evidence of associated factors or error severity.Objective To measure the frequency, type and severity of intravenous ... -
EEG Signatures Change During Unilateral Yogi Nasal Breathing
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Airflow through the left-and-right nostrils is said to be entrained by an endogenous nasal cycle paced by both poles of the hypothalamus. Yogic practices suggest, and scientific evidence demonstrates, that right-nostril ... -
Reducing Heat Loss From Solar Hot Water Storage Tanks Using Passive Baffles
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Solar water heating systems with thermal storage are one of the simplest ways of reducing energy demand for domestic water heating. Over the years, researchers have attempted to improve the thermal performance of storage ... -
Grading Methods for Fruit Freshness Based on Deep Learning
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Fruit freshness grading is an innate ability of humans. However, there was not much work focusing on creating a fruit grading system based on digital images in deep learning. The algorithm proposed in this article has the ... -
Colorizing Grayscale CT Images of Human Lungs Using Deep Learning Methods
(Springer, 2022)Image colorization refers to computer-aided rendering technology which transfers colors from a reference color image to grayscale images or video frames. Deep learning elevated notably in the field of image colorization ... -
Enabling Breeding Selection for Biomass in Slash Pine Using UAV-Based Imaging
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2022)Traditional methods used to monitor the aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB) of slash pine (<jats:italic>Pinus elliottii</jats:italic>) rely on on-ground measurements, which are time- and cost-consuming ... -
Polynomial Wiener LQG Controllers Based on Toeplitz Matrices
(Institute of Physics (IoP), 2022)This paper re-examines the discrete-time Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) regulator problem. The normal approach to this problem is to use a Kalman filter state estimator and Kalman control state feedback. Though quite ... -

GAC: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Model Toward User Incentivization in Unknown Social Networks
(arXiv, 2022)In recent years, providing incentives to human users for attracting their attention and engagement has been widely adopted in many applications. To effectively incentivize users, most incentive mechanisms determine incentive ... -
Pilot Study: Post-surgical Infections Could Be Related With Lack of Sharpness in Surgical Tools
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022)Despite rigorous sterilization protocols placed in surgical procedures, there is demonstrated evidence that show patients contract infections while hospitalized. This study aims to investigate the presence of biological ... -
Non-destructive Measurements of Toona sinensis Chlorophyll and Nitrogen Content Under Drought Stress Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)Drought is a climatic event that considerably impacts plant growth, reproduction and productivity. Toona sinensis is a tree species with high economic, edible and medicinal value, and has drought resistance. Thus, the ... -
Enhancing System Acceptance Through User-Centred Design: Integrating Patient Generated Wellness Data
(MDPI, 2022)Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition that appears during pregnancy and is expected to be a temporary one. While patients are encouraged to manage it themselves, research findings indicate that GDM may negatively ... -
Multispectral Image Enhancement Based on the Dark Channel Prior and Bilateral Fractional Differential Model
(MDPI, 2022)Compared with single-band remote sensing images, multispectral images can obtain information on the same target in different bands. By combining the characteristics of each band, we can obtain clearer enhanced images; ... -
