Remediating radium contaminated legacy sites: Advances made through machine learning in routine monitoring of "hot" particles.

The Science of the total environment
The extensive use of radium during the 20th century for industrial, military and pharmaceutical purposes has led to a large number of contaminated legacy sites across Europe and North America. Sites that pose a high risk to the general public can pre...

Secondary use of electronic health records for building cohort studies through top-down information extraction.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Controlled clinical trials are usually supported with an in-front data aggregation system, which supports the storage of relevant information according to the trial context within a highly structured environment. In contrast to the documentation of c...

European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons (EAES) consensus statement on the use of robotics in general surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
Following an extensive literature search and a consensus conference with subject matter experts the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. Robotic surgery is still at its infancy, and there is a great potential in sophisticated electromechanical syst...

Domesticating the Drone: The Demilitarisation of Unmanned Aircraft for Civil Markets.

Science and engineering ethics
Remotely piloted aviation systems (RPAS) or 'drones' are well known for their military applications, but could also be used for a range of non-military applications for state, industrial, commercial and recreational purposes. The technology is advanc...

Artificial neural network modelling of biological oxygen demand in rivers at the national level with input selection based on Monte Carlo simulations.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Biological oxygen demand (BOD) is the most significant water quality parameter and indicates water pollution with respect to the present biodegradable organic matter content. European countries are therefore obliged to report annual BOD values to Eur...

A heterogeneity analysis of health-related quality of life in early adults born very preterm or very low birthweight across the sociodemographic spectrum.

Social science & medicine (1982)
Preterm birth and very low birthweight (VP/VLBW) are associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes extending into adulthood, yet it remains unclear how these effects differ across sociodemographic subgroups. This study aimed ...
