A novel system for markerless intra-operative bone and bone fragment tracking by Marcus Tatum, Andrew Kern, Jessica E. Goetz, Geb Thomas, Donald D. Anderson

“…However, relying upon this intra-operative 2D projective imaging modality for this purpose can challenge a surgeon’s ability to interpret 3D position and orientation of any but the simplest bony anatomy. A number of object-tracking technologies have been developed to aid surgeons, but they have failed to be generalisable to a wider array of procedures, have required an unrealistic amount of time and effort to implement, or have unacceptably changed the flow of the surgery. …”

Willingness to pay for blue-green space and koala habitat protection following a Covid-19 versus bushfire experimental prime by Zoe Leviston, Rubijayne Cohen, Stephanie Gorman, Zoe Becvarik, Aparna Lal

“…Both WTP for blue-green space and koala habitat was significantly associated with experience with bushfire, left-leaning political orientation, and higher blue-green space usage. Assessment of WTP for blue-green space in Australian cities indicates a positive attitude, especially among active users, although people are still willing to contribute to koala protection.…”
