INDIRECT METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE MASS OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS IN CRYOGENIC TRANSPORTATION TANKS by I. S. Medvedkov

“…An easy-to-use simplified calculation device  for determining the state of a vapor-liquid medium in cryogenic tanks based on approximation dependencies is proposed. Conclusion. The simplified method is approximate in nature but is based on strict physical dependencies, and therefore does not lead to a significant increase in the error when varying the initial conditions. …”

Epidemiological criteria for causation applied to human health harms from RF-EMF exposure: Bradford Hill revisited by John William Frank

“…As a result of these threats to their validity—particularly the facts that (1) exposure measurement is typically subject to substantial error, and (2) insufficient time has elapsed, since modern cell phone use began in earnest, to allow tumors of longer latency to develop—most primary studies to date, and therefore many published systematic reviews of them, probably underestimate the true potential for causation, if in fact this association is causal.Conclusion and recommendationsIn view of these findings, international experts representing professional and scientific organizations in this field should convene an independent Guidelines development process to inform future epidemiological studies of associations between RF-EMF exposures and human health outcomes. …”

Informing Visual Display Design of Electronic Health Records: A Human Factors Cross-Industry Perspective by Zoe M. Pruitt, Jessica L. Howe, Lucy S. Bocknek, Arianna P. Milicia, Patricia A. Spaar, Seth Krevat, Raj M. Ratwani

“…# Background Despite their prevalence, poorly designed electronic health records (EHRs) are common, and research shows poor design consequences include clinician burnout, diagnostic error, and even patient harm. One of the major difficulties of EHR design is the visual display of information, which aims to present information in an easily digestible form for the user. …”
