A Cost-benefit Analysis of Using Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogel Sealant versus Fibrin Glue as a Dural Sealant for Posterior Fossa Surgery in the United States by Marissa J. Carter

“…Sensitivity analysis showed that using lumbar drainage instead of operative repair for a CSF leak reduced cost savings to $680. Holding the incidence of CSF leaks constant for the fibrin glue cohort while increasing the incidence for the DuraSeal cohort by 50% or 300% resulted in cost savings of $1438 and $755, respectively. …”

Analyzing the Carbon Footprint of an Intravitreal Injection by Barry Power, Robert Brady, Paul Connell

“…The omission of items considered dispensable from injection packs would reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 0.56 kg per injection – an annual saving of 3,360 kg CO 2 eq for our service. Similar savings, if extrapolated to a country the size of the United Kingdom, could yield annual carbon savings of 450,000 kg CO 2 eq. …”

Hierarchically structured, Janus optical nanoengineered wastepaper for switchable radiative cooling/heating by Zifan Song, Zipeng Zhang, Xueting Zhang, Jingyang Liu, Wanjie Wang, Jianfeng Wang, Xiuxiu Jin

“…Impressively, the mechanical strength of Janus film increased greatly by 563% compared with that of pristine waste paper, which is helpful for its practical applications in various scenarios for switchable radiative thermal management through mechanical flipping. Energy‐saving simulation results reveal that significant total energy savings of up to 32.4 MJ m−2 can be achieved annually (corresponding to the 12.4% saving ratio), showing the immense importance of reducing carbon footprint and promoting carbon neutrality.…”

Power control strategy with joint of multi-packet reception and fuzzy logic control by Jiang-hong HAN, Song-hua HU, Bin LIU, Zhen CHEN, Lei LIU

“…In order to meet the needs of energy saving in wireless networks,a power control strategy with joint of multi-packet reception and fuzzy logic was proposed.Firstly,based on the power control with successive interference cancellation (SIC),transmission power was divided into several decodable power levels.Secondly,fuzzy logic control algorithm was adopted to select the optimal transmission power for SIC.In addition,three parameters were designed as fuzzy logic control inputs for power selection,which were the distance between transmitters and receivers,the number of neighboring nodes and the residual energy of transmitters.Simulation results show that power control strategy with joint of multi-packet reception and fuzzy logic control not only betters average network throughput than other power control strategy for SIC,but also saves more energy so that the network lifecycle would be significantly extended.…”
