A descriptive-comparative study of medications used by older people prior to and following admission to a continuing care facility
Download2012
Medications are beneficial for curing or managing acute and chronic illnesses. Medications typically have positive outcomes, although older people are prone to drug-related problems. Community-dwelling seniors are at particularly high risk of polypharmacy, as they tend to receive many...

A Domain-Adapted Machine Learning Approach for Visual Evaluation and Interpretation of Robot-Assisted Surgery Skills
Download2022-01-01
Abed Soleymani, Xingyu Li, Mahdi Tavakoli
In this study, we present an intuitive machine learningbased approach to evaluate and interpret surgical skills level of a participant working with robotic platforms. The proposed method is domain-adapted, i.e., jointly utilizes an end-to-end learning approach for smoothness detection and domain...

A Fisher–KPP Model with a Nonlocal Weighted Free Boundary: Analysis of How Habitat Boundaries Expand, Balance or Shrink
Download2020-11-05
Chunxi Feng, Mark A. Lewis, Chuncheng Wang, Hao Wang
In this paper, we propose a novel free boundary problem to model the movement of single species with a range boundary. The spatial movement and birth/death processes of the species found within the range boundary are assumed to be governed by the classic Fisher–KPP reaction–diffusion equation,...

A flow-through enzymatic microreactor for the rapid conversion of triacylglycerols into fatty acid ethyl ester and fatty acid methyl ester derivatives for GC analysis
Download2015
Mugo, Samuel M., Anuar, Sabiqah T., Curtis, Jonathan M.
A flow-through enzymatic microreactor for the rapid conversion of triacylglycerols (TAG) into fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derivatives was developed. The microreactor was a porous silica monolith fabricated within a 320 μm ID fused silica capillary with lipase...
