A novel coal-rock recognition method in coal mining face based on fusing laser point cloud and images by Yang Liu, Lei Si, Zhongbin Wang, Miao Chen, Xin Li, Dong Wei, Jinheng Gu

“…Subsequently, the 2D target candidate box is calculated through the improved Mask R-CNN, and the frustum point cloud in the 2D target candidate box is extracted to reduce the calculation scale and spatial search range. Then, the self-attention PointNet is constructed to segment the fused point cloud within the frustum range, and the bounding box regression network is used to predict the bounding box parameters. …”

Impact of a national primary care pay-for-performance scheme on ambulatory care sensitive hospital admissions: a small-area analysis in England by Tim Doran, Christos Grigoroglou, Luke Munford, Evangelos Kontopantelis, Navneet Kapur, Darren Ashcroft, Roger Webb

“…Objective We aimed to spatially describe hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) in England at small-area geographical level and assess whether recorded practice performance under one of the world’s largest primary care pay-for-performance schemes led to reductions in these potentially avoidable hospitalisations for chronic conditions incentivised in the scheme.Setting We obtained numbers of ACSC hospital admissions from the Hospital Episode Statistics database and information on recorded practice performance from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) administrative dataset for 2015/2016. …”
