Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants in Northern Tanzania and their distribution between breast milk, maternal blood, placenta and cord blood.

Environmental research
Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begins during pregnancy and may cause adverse health effects in the fetus or later in life. The present study aimed to assess prenatal POPs exposure to Tanzanian infants and evaluate the distribu...

[Robotic systems for care at home: A scoping review].

Zeitschrift fur Evidenz, Fortbildung und Qualitat im Gesundheitswesen
BACKGROUND: In the future, modern technologies could make a significant contribution to a self-determined life in one's own environment when in need of care. Robots might alleviate everyday domestic life and promote participation. In the nursing scie...

Social robots to support children's well-being under medical treatment: A systematic state-of-the-art review.

Journal of child health care : for professionals working with children in the hospital and community
Hospitalization is a stressful experience for children. Socially assistive robots (SARs), designed to interact with humans, might be a means to mitigate a child's stress and support its well-being. A systematic state-of-the-art review was performed t...

Cross-Generation Kinship Verification with Sparse Discriminative Metric.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Kinship verification is a very important technique in many real-world applications, e.g., personal album organization, missing person investigation and forensic analysis. However, it is extremely difficult to verify a family pair with generation gap,...

Visual Kinship Recognition of Families in the Wild.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
We present the largest database for visual kinship recognition, Families In the Wild (FIW), with over 13,000 family photos of 1,000 family trees with 4-to-38 members. It took only a small team to build FIW with efficient labeling tools and work-flow....

A New Remote Health-Care System Based on Moving Robot Intended for the Elderly at Home.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Nowadays, due to the growing need for remote care and the constantly increasing popularity of mobile devices, a large amount of mobile applications for remote care support has been developed. Although mobile phones are very suitable for young people,...

Prediction of dose to the relatives of patients treated with radioiodine-131 using neural networks.

Journal of radiological protection : official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection
In this study, the effective dose received by the family members and caregivers of 52 thyroid cancer patients, who had been treated with radioiodine I-131, was measured to investigate the ability of the neural network to predict the doses to the rela...

Individualized prediction of psychosis in subjects with an at-risk mental state.

Schizophrenia research
Early intervention strategies in psychosis would significantly benefit from the identification of reliable prognostic biomarkers. Pattern classification methods have shown the feasibility of an early diagnosis of psychosis onset both in clinical and ...

Sharable and Individual Multi-View Metric Learning.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
This paper presents a sharable and individual multi-view metric learning (MvML) approach for visual recognition. Unlike conventional metric leaning methods which learn a distance metric on either a single type of feature representation or a concatena...

Discriminative Deep Metric Learning for Face and Kinship Verification.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
This paper presents a new discriminative deep metric learning (DDML) method for face and kinship verification in wild conditions. While metric learning has achieved reasonably good performance in face and kinship verification, most existing metric le...
