Considering the Costs: Resin 3D Printing for a Temporal Bone Dissection Course.

Significant costs associated with obtaining cadaveric temporal bones (TBs) have led many to seek more cost-effective alternatives for TB surgical simulation. Multiple studies support the face validity of resin 3-dimensional (3D)-printed TBs as high-fidelity, useful alternatives for simulating TB dissection. However, a paucity of literature describes the cost or time associated with in-house manufacturing of resin TBs at scale.

Quantifying the relative importance of agricultural land use as a predictor of catchment nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations.

Agriculture is a major source of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in freshwater ecosystems, and different management strategies exist to reduce farmland nutrient losses and thus mitigate freshwater eutrophication. The importance of agricultural sources of N and P as drivers of water quality is known to vary spatially, but quantification of the relative importance of the nutrient sources shaping this variability remains challenging, especially with reference to inputs from waste water treatment works. Addressing this knowledge gap is key for targeting management strategies to where they are likely to have the greatest effect.

Automated Real-Time Otologic Drill Motion Analysis.

In this work, we present a computer vision model for automatic otologic drill motion analysis during mastoidectomy and detail how to implement a computer vision model for real-time use. Automated real-time surgical analysis has the potential to enable efficient methods for technical skill assessment and broadly transform the landscape of surgical education.

Challenges for monitoring artificial turf expansion with satellite remote sensing.

Urban green spaces are central components of urban ecosystems, providing refuge for wildlife while helping 'future proof' cities against climate change. Conversion of urban green spaces to artificial turf has become increasingly popular in various developed countries, such as the UK, leading to reduced urban ecosystem services delivery. To date, there is no established satellite remote sensing method for reliably detecting and mapping artificial turf expansion at scale.
