As the popularity and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems continue to rise, this article presents a promising proposition: the use of AI dialects to enhance AI perception. By delving into the potential of personalized AI dialects to augment user perceptions of warmth, competence, and authenticity, the article underscores the pivotal role of anthropomorphism in fortifying trust, satisfaction, and loyalty to AI systems. A comprehensive research framework is put forth to explore these potential mechanisms and outcomes of AI dialect introduction, shedding light on how these impacts might vary based on AI modality (text, voice, and video), industry adoption, and user demographics.

Article Synopsis
  • Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are a frequent cause for needing orthopedic surgeries, and silver-coated titanium alloy surfaces may help reduce bacterial adhesion.
  • This study examines how the thickness of silver coatings affects bacterial attachment, proliferation, and bone growth processes, finding that while bacterial attachment is lower on silver surfaces, proliferation remains unaffected.
  • The research indicates that even small amounts of silver can effectively combat bacteria without harming osteoblast function, suggesting that this coating technique could be advantageous for enhancing implant performance and reducing infection risks.

Persons who are incarcerated (PWAI) suffer from a disproportionately higher number of physical and mental health conditions. While most jails and prisons provide onsite healthcare, community correctional centers often do not and accessing community healthcare is challenging due to insurance issues, inadequate health literacy, mistrust, and long waits for appointments. A registered nurse-led wellness clinic provides a viable solution to addressing the healthcare needs of PWAI in a community correctional setting.

Local anodization with a free electrolyte jet is a suitable solution for locally confined surface functionalization without additionally required preparation of the parts. However, the geometrical formation of the anodic oxide layer in jet-based anodization is not yet sufficiently understood. In this study, numerical calculations based on physical descriptions are used to describe the lateral and vertical oxide formation on aluminum alloy EN AW-7075.

Jet electrochemical machining (Jet-ECM) is a flexible method for machining complex microstructures in high-strength and hard-to-machine materials. Contrary to mechanical machining, in Jet-ECM there is no mechanical contact between tool and workpiece. This enables Jet-ECM, like other electrochemical machining processes, to realize surface layers free of mechanical residual stresses, cracks, and thermal distortions.

OBJECTIVEThe authors developed a new, real-time interactive inverse planning approach, based on a fully convex framework, to be used for Gamma Knife radiosurgery.METHODSThe convex framework is based on the precomputation of a dictionary composed of the individual dose distributions of all possible shots, considering all their possible locations, sizes, and shapes inside the target volume. The convex problem is solved to determine the plan, i.
