Completion procedures as semidecision procedures [PDF]

, 1991
In this paper we give a new abstract framework for the study of Knuth-Bendix type completion procedures, which are regarded as semidecision procedures for theorem proving.

A Pressure Microsensor Made of Parylene‐C for Use as Medical Implant

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A monolithic parylene‐C pressure sensor with gold strain gauges provides 6.2 μV$\mu{\rm V}$·mmHg$\cdot{\rm mmHg}$−1$^{-1}$ sensitivity. The morphology of a sputtered thin film strain sensor is granular/columnar, which results in a high gauge factor of 7.5. Thermal bonding and parylene‐C coating create a hermetic cavity.

Bidirectional Process Prediction in the Laser‐Induced‐Graphene Production Using Blackbox Deep Learning

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study shows that a lightweight blackbox neural network provides a practical, cost‐effective solution for bidirectional process prediction in laser‐induced graphene (LIG) fabrication. Achieving high predictive performance with minimal overhead, the approach democratizes machine learning (ML) for resource‐limited environments.

Physician perspectives on Choosing Wisely Canada as an approach to reduce unnecessary medical care: a qualitative study

, 2018
Background Reducing monies spent on unnecessary medical care is one possible target to improve value in healthcare systems. Regional variation in the provision of medical care suggests physician behaviour and patient demands influence the provision of ...

An attempt to reduce unnecessary surgical procedures... Can ultrasound characteristics help in differentiating adenoma vs carcinoma in follicular thyroid neoplasms?

, 2022
20.500.12530/87907Thyroid nodules frequently require ultrasound and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) evaluation. However, FNA cytology does not allow differentiation between follicular adenoma and carcinoma on Bethesda type IV lesions.

Circumcision - an outdated and unnecessary procedure?

Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2010
The origins and significance of circumcision, while somewhat obscure, do not seem to have any definite connection with medicine. This operation is now largely elective and constitutes certain risks to the newborn. It should therefore be restricted to children over three years of age whose foreskin remains unretractable.

Photolithographic Patterning of Colloidal Quantum Dots Enabled by Plasma‐Induced Ligand Polymerization

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Plasma‐induced ligand polymerization on colloidal quantum dots (QDs) renders them resistant to organic solvents, enabling conventional photoresist‐based photolithography. This approach achieves microscale patterning with feature sizes down to 3 µm, preserving the optical properties of the QDs and offering a simple and scalable route for QD‐based ...

The unnecessary dose behind cropped radiographs

, 2019
Objectives: In this study it was evaluated how common image cropping, or electronic collimation, is in digital radiography, how large an area of the images is cropped and how high the radiation dose is that corresponds to the cropped area.Methods: A ...
