Measuring maternal, foetal and neonatal mortality: Challenges and solutions. [PDF]
Levels and causes of mortality in mothers and babies are intrinsically linked, occurring at the same time and often to the same mother-baby dyad, although mortality rates are substantially higher in babies. Measuring levels, trends and causes of maternal,

International Competition on Runtime Verification (CRV) [PDF]
We review the first five years of the international Competition on Runtime Verification (CRV), which began in 2014. Runtime verification focuses on verifying system executions directly and is a useful lightweight technique to complement static verification techniques. The competition has gone through a number of changes since its introduction, which we

Modelling Future Scenarios for End‐of‐Life Battery Management of Electric Vehicles in São Paulo
ABSTRACT This study addresses the escalating challenge of managing end‐of‐life (EOL) electric vehicle (EV) batteries within a circular economy framework, focusing on the city of São Paulo. Using system dynamics modelling, the research projects a fleet of approximately 11 million light‐duty EVs in São Paulo by 2045, generating an annual influx of 1.34 ...

A computational model for retinal haemodynamics under gravitational and postural variations
Abstract figure legend The haemodynamic impact of gravitational and postural changes on the retina, and its relevance to spaceflight associated neuro‐ocular syndrome (SANS), remains incompletely characterized. This study assesses retinal haemodynamics from upright to head‐down tilt using a lumped‐parameter model that dynamically couples intraocular ...

Over three production years (2021–2024), this study investigated the effects of incorporating plantain into a perennial ryegrass–white clover (RGWC) mixed sward on dairy farm productivity and environmental footprint. Seventy‐two Friesian × Jersey cows were allocated to six farmlets across two replicated herbage treatments (n = 3): RGWC with no plantain
