Human Activity Classification Using Multilayer Perceptron.

The number of smart homes is rapidly increasing. Smart homes typically feature functions such as voice-activated functions, automation, monitoring, and tracking events. Besides comfort and convenience, the integration of smart home functionality with data processing methods can provide valuable information about the well-being of the smart home residence.

Surface Characteristics of One-Sided Charred Beech Wood.

The aim of this paper was to analyze selected properties of beech wood ( L.) treated by one-sided surface charring. Specimens were one-side charred with a hot plate using several time-temperature combinations (from 200 to 400 °C).

Regulation of veterinary point-of-care testing in the European Union, the United States of America and Japan.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) is used to detect diseases and other conditions or to monitor therapeutic procedures. In veterinary medicine, POCT not only helps during the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases but it also has a direct impact on human health by safeguarding food supplies and preventing zoonoses. Despite its importance, the regulation of the quality, safety and effectiveness of POCT products is rarely discussed.

A New Era in Pathology Consultation: The MyPathologist Electronic Consultation Tool.

Pathologists and laboratory scientists provide valuable guidance on laboratory utilization, test ordering, interpretation, and quality control provided that clinical staff can easily access the laboratory team. To encourage consultation between clinicians with laboratory scientists and pathologists, we developed an easily accessible electronic tool termed "MyPathologist," placed on the homepage of our electronic health record system. Over its 2-year pilot, utilization of this consultation tool climbed as we continued to publicize it and incorporated education into housestaff onboarding and electronic health record training.

Optimization of Dissolution Compartments in a Biorelevant Dissolution Apparatus Golem v2, Supported by Multivariate Analysis.

Biorelevant dissolution instruments represent an important tool for pharmaceutical research and development. These instruments are designed to simulate the dissolution of drug formulations in conditions most closely mimicking the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, we focused on the optimization of dissolution compartments/vessels for an updated version of the biorelevant dissolution apparatus-Golem v2.
