Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

Culturally Safe Assistive Technology Provision in Australia: Concept Mapping Perspectives From Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disparities in Assistive Technology (AT) access exist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples despite recent policy reforms. This paper brings together First Nations and Western academic ways of being, knowing and doing to deliver an AT practice analysis based upon primary data from two research reports into the cultural safety of AT

Speech Biomarkers From Smartphone Calls Track Progression in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective This 24‐month longitudinal study involving isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), early‐stage Parkinson's disease (PD), and matched healthy control subjects aimed to assess whether acoustic speech features from real‐world smartphone calls provide passive progressive biomarkers in synucleinopathies.

Short‐Term Scheduling Optimization of a Single‐Pipeline Refining System With High Melting Point Crude Oil

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to reflect the actual production situation more comprehensively and optimize the production cost, this paper solves the short‐term scheduling optimization problem for a single pipeline containing high melting point crude oil. Based on the refining plan given by the upper layer, a multi‐objective optimization model with high melting ...

A Kinetic Framework for the Pyrolysis of Poly(Ether‐Ketone‐Ketone) (PEKK)

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Crosslinking influences poly(ether‐ether‐ketone) (PEKK) pyrolysis. ABSTRACT Research to date on the thermal degradation of poly(ether‐ketone‐ketone) (PEKK) has largely been limited to low temperatures or analysis as part of a composite. Herein, we investigate the pyrolysis kinetics of neat PEKK from 480°C to 1000°C and characterize the degradation by ...

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.
