Measuring Labor Input: Construction Activity Counting Using IMU on Hand Tools.

Efficient measurement of labor input is a critical aspect of on-site control and management in construction projects, as labor input serves as the primary and direct determinant of project outcomes. However, conventional manual inspection methods are off-line, tedious, and fail to capture their effectiveness. To address this issue, this research presents a novel method that leverages Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors attached to hand tools during construction activities to measure labor input in a timely and precise manner.

Discontinuation of nucleos(t)ide analogues is not associated with a higher risk of HBsAg seroreversion after antiviral-induced HBsAg seroclearance: a nationwide multicentre study.

Objective: Direct comparison of the clinical outcomes between nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) discontinuation versus NA continuation has not been performed in patients with chronic hepatitis B who achieved HBsAg-seroclearance. Whether NA discontinuation was as safe as NA continuation after NA-induced surface antigen of HBV (HBsAg) seroclearance was investigated in the present study.

Designs: This multicentre study included 276 patients from 16 hospitals in Korea who achieved NA-induced HBsAg seroclearance: 131 (47.

Predicting breast cancer survivability using fuzzy decision trees for personalized healthcare.

Data analysis systems, intended to assist a physician, are highly desirable to be accurate, human interpretable and balanced, with a degree of confidence associated with final decision. In cancer prognosis, such systems estimate recurrence of disease and predict survival of patient; hence resulting in improved patient management. To develop such a prognostic system, this paper proposes to investigate a hybrid scheme based on fuzzy decision trees, as an efficient alternative to crisp classifiers that are applied independently.
