THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Design and Validation of a Novel Orthopedic Device for Enhanced Fracture Stabilization and Reduction Efficiency: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Implications for Surgical Outcomes

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Schematic of the tool from all angles and how to use it. ABSTRACT Objective Traumatic long bone fractures require precise reduction and stable fixation to achieve optimal outcomes during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Conventional bone‐holding instruments are often associated with prolonged operative time, increased blood loss, reliance ...

High frequency traction rod model and its structure-borne sound transmission characteristic of high-speed trains

open access: yesScientific Reports
With respect to high-speed trains, a significant proportion of interior noise is caused by high-frequency vibrations, which are generated at the wheel-rail contact and transmitted through the secondary suspension system in the bogie, to the carbody ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Rail vehicle noise

open access: yes, 1963
There was a time when noise from rail vehicles - especially subway trains - was always placed at the top of the list of unpleasant noises. In recent years the picture has changed somewhat. On the one hand even more noisome noises such as jet aircraft have become commonplace; and on the other, there has been a substantial effort to reduce rail vehicle ...
