In a machine learning paper recently published in the journal npj Computational Materials, a team of researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Brown University have introduced a universal way to accelerate virtually any kind of simulation.
The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) proudly announces Dr. Shawn J. Bird as the 2024 Jun Kimura Outstanding Educator Award recipient for his numerous NM and EDX-related contributions.
Comprehensive Care Services (CCS), in partnership with ECLS Virtual Advisors (EVA) and Orrum Clinical Analytics, is proud to introduce ECLS 360: a cutting-edge initiative poised to redefine extracorporeal care.
A new study finds that the extent to which U.S. adults support newly appointed justices to the Supreme Court strongly influences the extent to which they support the high court as an institution.
Researchers in China have developed a dual-path snapshot compressive microscopy (DP-SCM) system that enables high-speed, high-resolution, and large field-of-view imaging for real-time monitoring of ultrafast laser material processing.
Miniaturized fiber-optic magnetic field sensors have attracted intensive interests due to the superiorities of anti-electromagnetic interference and compactness. Scientist in China developed an ultracompact multicore fiber (MCF) tip probes for magnetic field and temperature discriminative sensing. The size of the whole sensing probes does not exceed the inherent outer diameter of the MCF, which means a significant reduction in the size of multi-parameter sensor. The technique will open new avenues towards the realization of an all-fiber miniaturized multi-parameter sensor.
Mode division multiplexing technology is regarded as a promising solution to solve the capacity crunch of the standard single-mode fiber transmission system. However, the differential mode gain arising in the few-mode fiber transmission system would increase the complexity of the received signal processing.
Depth measurement and three-dimensional (3D) imaging under complex reflection and transmission conditions are challenging and even impossible for traditional structured light techniques, owing to the precondition of point-to-point triangulation. Qican Zhang and Zhoujie Wu from China’s Sichuan University and their colleagues now report a multi-scale parallel single-pixel imaging method that efficiently separates and utilizes different illumination and reflection components for dynamic depth measurement on multi-type surfaces and 3D imaging through complex transmission media, such as volumetric scattering media and semitransparent surface. The team demonstrated its effectiveness and results are promising for 3D imaging and sensing applications in advanced manufacturing, autonomous driving, and biomedical imaging.
A cutting-edge study has unveiled the sophisticated methods pathogens use to weaken plant defenses. It shows how a pathogen's effector protein targets the chloroplast protein StFC-II, increasing its levels in chloroplasts and reducing the plant's ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). This manipulation significantly compromises the plant's immune response, offering new insights into potential strategies for enhancing plant resistance to infections.
When hospitals replace registered nurses (RNs) with licensed practical nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel, patients are more likely to die, experience readmissions, and have longer hospital stays, and Medicare must bear millions of dollars annually in avoidable costs. Moreover, there is no business case for this practice—hospitals actually experience a negative return on investment.
JMIR Publications, a leading publisher in digital health research, announces the launch of JMIR XR and Spatial Computing, a cutting-edge journal dedicated to exploring the transformative potential of extended reality (XR) and spatial computing technologies in clinical practice.
The introduction of micropatterns is an effective strategy in enhancing the sensitivity of capacitive pressure sensors. Towards this goal, scientist in China developed a novel approach for fabricating random conical array (RCA) microstructures based on laser speckle grayscale lithography.
In September 2008, more than two dozen national nursing organizations, including AACN, joined with the Tri-Council for Nursing to commission a study on the impact that advanced practice registered nurses have on healthcare quality and patient outcomes. The need for this research was driven in part by challenges from outside the profession questioning the efficacy of nurse practitioner (NP) education and practice. Led by Dr. Robin Newhouse, who recently concluded her service on the AACN Board of Directors, the resulting systematic review of the literature published from 1990-2008 found that NP-led care was equivalent to physician-centric care and typically resulted in shorter hospital stays, increased access to care, and lower costs.
An internationally collaborative study delves into how fluctuating rainfall impacts the development of sea turtle hatchlings, revealing that it has a more profound effect than changes in air temperature. Regional weather influences incubation and hatchling development and the impact of rainfall varies between species. For loggerhead turtles, heavier rainfall results in hatchlings with smaller carapaces (shell) but greater weight, while green turtle hatchlings grow smaller carapaces without a change in body mass.
Tracy Devine Guzmán, an associate professor of Latin American studies at the University of Miami, received a Fulbright Scholar Award to conduct research on Indigenous land rights in Mato Grosso, Brazil, which contains part of the Amazon rainforest.
Teachers, students, and their parents are navigating sensitive subjects such as phone bans, political polarization, and debates over curriculum and teaching methods. Binghamton University experts will discuss the controversies looming over our schools in a live Q&A with media covering the issues.
Looking back at their sons’ health care journey over the past five years, Claire and Daniel Polston can’t help but note the extraordinary coincidences. Their first son, Everett, had a harrowing start to life when he was born at 23 weeks. Their second son, Nolan, had a nearly identical journey just a few years later.
Adtalem's Chamberlain University expands its Practice Ready. Specialty Focused.™ program for Bachelor of Science nursing students to include the Critical Care Nursing Course, in partnership with the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.
La hipertensión, también conocida como presión arterial alta, es un problema común que afecta las arterias del cuerpo. Si tiene presión arterial alta, el corazón tiene que trabajar más para bombear la sangre.
