Dissolution mechanism of Al2O3 in refining slags containing Ce2O3 by Wang L.J., Wang Q., Li J.M., Chou K.C.

“…An intermediate product 3CaO5Al2O3Ce2O3 was detected. The mechanism of dissolution of Al2O3 in the Ce2O3 containing slag were also proposed as three steps involved: 1) the formation of calcium aluminates CaO•Al2O3 at the interface 2) the formation of 3CaO5Al2O3Ce2O3 as the reaction progresses; and 3) the dissolution of 3CaO5Al2O3Ce2O3 into the slag.…”

Voice EHR: introducing multimodal audio data for health by James Anibal, James Anibal, Hannah Huth, Ming Li, Lindsey Hazen, Veronica Daoud, Dominique Ebedes, Yen Minh Lam, Hang Nguyen, Phuc Vo Hong, Michael Kleinman, Shelley Ost, Christopher Jackson, Laura Sprabery, Cheran Elangovan, Balaji Krishnaiah, Lee Akst, Lee Akst, Ioan Lina, Iqbal Elyazar, Lenny Ekawati, Stefan Jansen, Richard Nduwayezu, Charisse Garcia, Jeffrey Plum, Jacqueline Brenner, Miranda Song, Emily Ricotta, Emily Ricotta, David Clifton, C. Louise Thwaites, Yael Bensoussan, Bradford Wood

“…IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) models trained on audio data may have the potential to rapidly perform clinical tasks, enhancing medical decision-making and potentially improving outcomes through early detection. Existing technologies depend on limited datasets collected with expensive recording equipment in high-income countries, which challenges deployment in resource-constrained, high-volume settings where audio data may have a profound impact on health equity.MethodsThis report introduces a novel protocol for audio data collection and a corresponding application that captures health information through guided questions.ResultsTo demonstrate the potential of Voice EHR as a biomarker of health, initial experiments on data quality and multiple case studies are presented in this report. …”
