Experiences with remote ethics consultation: a qualitative study with ethics consultants in Germany

BMC Medical Ethics
Background The use of remote methods such as video conferencing has the potential to improve access to ethics consultations, particularly in outpatient and rural healthcare settings. Although their use has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, little is

Digitized Astronomical Photographic Archives as Large Area Sky Survey of Large Amount of Astronomical Data [PDF]

, 2014
We report here on an investigation of astronomical plate archives and tests of the scanning devices for digitization of archival astronomical plates. These archives represent huge database of historical astronomical data, astrometric, photometric, and ...

Ultimate position resolution of pixel clusters with binary readout for particle tracking

, 2018
Silicon tracking detectors can record the charge in each channel (analog or digitized) or have only binary readout (hit or no hit). While there is significant literature on the position resolution obtained from interpolation of charge measurements, a ...

Precise Microstructural and Stoichiometric Control Advances Flexible Ag2Te Thin‐Film Thermoelectrics for Wearable Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible Ag2Te thin films achieving a record‐high mobility of 4756 cm2 V−1 s−1 and a peak power factor of 18.5 µW cm−1 K−2 are developed via precise structural control. The assembled flexible devices demonstrate excellent mechanical stability and ultrafast voltage response, enabling precise thermal detection when integrated into a robotic gripper for ...

Perfusion Bioreactor Culture Incorporating Mechanical Confinement Enhances Mesenchymal Stem Cell Extracellular Vesicle Production and Wound Healing Potential

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Scalable manufacturing challenges and limited potency remain two of the most intransigent issues limiting clinical translation of EV therapeutics. Mechanical cues can induce phenotypic changes and increased vesiculation in EV source cells without the use of extraneous reagents, chemicals, and/or cargo, thereby potentially drastically improving the ...

LCDG4 and DigiSim - Simulation activities at NICADD/NIU [PDF]

, 2005
We present two software packages developed to support detector R&D studies for the International Linear Collider. LCDG4 is a full-detector simulator that provides energy deposits from particles traversing the sensitive volumes of the detector.

Digital, digitized, and numerical humanities

Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, 2018
AbstractThe term ‘digital humanities’ may be understood in three different ways: as ‘digitized humanities’, by dealing essentially with the constitution, management, and processing of digitized archives; as ‘numerical humanities’, by putting the emphasis on mathematical abstraction and the development of numerical and formal models; and as ‘humanities ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Cap‐oPMN: Oral Inflammatory Load Quantification Using Capillary Microfluidics and Automated Image Processing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quantifying oral polymorphonuclear neutrophils (oPMNs) is a clinically validated approach for assessing periodontal inflammation. However, current methods, such as manual hemocytometry and flow cytometry, are time‐consuming (>3 h), require invasive sampling, and depend on staining and complex instrumentation, making them unsuitable for point ...

Improving Accessibility of Archived Raster Dictionaries of Complex Script Languages

, 2014
We propose an approach to index raster images of dictionary pages which in turn would require very little manual effort to enable direct access to the appropriate pages of the dictionary for lookup.
