Toward organ shortage resilient allocation policies using real-time queueing models for liver transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We report in this paper on the potential interest of real-time queueing models to optimize organ allocation policies. We especially focus on building organ shortage resilient policies in terms of equity, as we experienced differential impact of the COVID epidemic organ shortage on transplant access, according to the cause of liver failure.

Auditing absence due to sickness [PDF]
BMJ, 1995 EDITOR,—Martin McKee and colleagues highlight some difficulties with the use of routine data for audit and refer to experience in obstetrics.1 In occupational health practice we have encountered similar problems in setting up a system to audit absence attributed to sickness. Certificates for absences due to sickness of more than seven days are obtained

Differences in sickness absence between self-employed and employed doctors: a cross-sectional study on national sample of Norwegian doctors in 2010 [PDF]
, 2014 Background Doctors have a low prevalence of sickness absence. Employment status is a determinant in the multifactorial background of sickness absence. The effect of doctors’ employment status on sickness absence is unexplored.

Rotation Blurring: Use of Artificial Blurring to Reduce Cybersickness in Virtual Reality First Person Shooters [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Users of Virtual Reality (VR) systems often experience vection, the perception of self-motion in the absence of any physical movement. While vection helps to improve presence in VR, it often leads to a form of motion sickness called cybersickness. Cybersickness is a major deterrent to large scale adoption of VR.

Control of Ferromagnetism of Vanadium Oxide Thin Films by Oxidation States
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The nonstoichiometric VOx exhibits a distinct ferromagnetic hysteresis loop and demonstrates a high magnetic susceptibility (χ=dMdH$ = \frac{{dM}}{{dH}}\;$∼10). Micromagnetic simulations show the results of the “partial volume fraction ferromagnetic phase model” for VOx/Co/Pt structure.

Sterile Neutrinos with Altered Dispersion Relations as an Explanation for Neutrino Anomalies [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Recently the MiniBooNE Collaboration has confirmed its anomalous excess in (anti)muon- to (anti)electron-neutrino oscillation data. Combined with long-standing results from the LSND experiment this amounts to a 6.1 sigma evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
