Improving the evaluation of non-accidental trauma across multiple specialties at a single institution by Courtney Port, Lani Kroese, William Hauda

“…The aim of this quality improvement project was to increase the percentage of patients for whom there is a concern for NAT who receive a guideline-adherent evaluation from 7.7% to 50% in 6 months’ time.Methods A committee of physician stakeholders developed criteria for a complete NAT evaluation which were integrated into an order panel with built-in clinical guidance for test selection within our electronic medical record. Data on the completeness of NAT evaluation in paediatric patients 0–18 years of age were collected before and after the order panel release and analysed by admitting service, injury category and equity factors.Results This initiative increased the percentage of patients with a guideline-adherent evaluation from a mean of 7.7% to 25% within 6 months’ time. …”

Dependence of Geometric and Spectroscopic Properties of Double-walled Boron Nitride Nanotubes on Interwall Distance by Metin Aydin

“…The results of the calculations showed that their structural stability strongly depends on the interwall distance, but not on the number of unit cells, and the (0,m) @(0,m+9/10) and (m,m) @(n,n) with n=m+5/6 are the most energetically stable structures. The predicted electronic structures for DWBNNTs with cell lengths of one unit exhibit a strong red-shift for the ΔR below ~0.4 nm and remain almost constant for the ΔR > 0.45 nm. …”

Review on Deep Learning and Neural Network Implementation for Emotions Recognition by Renas Rajab Asaad

“…      Recently, we humans integrate into the world of our smart phones and our portable electronic devices to the point that that world can numb us in one way or another and separate us from the real world, so that we and the generations that come after us are fully adapted to dealing with huge amounts of digital information, so they are ready to be absorbed faster And ready to deal with it more efficiently than previous generations, but during this process of rapid adaptation and adapting to the digital age gradually begins to lose one thing, this thing is what the machine has not given it yet and it is human emotions. …”
