Pharmacists' perceptions on real-time prescription monitoring (RTPM) systems - a cross-sectional survey.

Background: Real-time prescription monitoring (RTPM) systems are an effective tool to help health practitioners monitor opioid use and reduce opioid-related harm but little has been reported about the support required by pharmacists to engage with them effectively in practice.

Objective: To evaluate the current understanding and perceptions of Western Australian pharmacists regarding RTPM systems and opioid-related harm, and investigate their self-reported training and support requirements prior to RTPM system implementation.

Methods: This cross-sectional, prospective study involved an online Qualtrics survey distributed to Western Australian community or hospital pharmacists involved in dispensing and patient-centred roles via local professional pharmacy newsletters and social media.

Multi-U-Net: Residual Module under Multisensory Field and Attention Mechanism Based Optimized U-Net for VHR Image Semantic Segmentation.

As the acquisition of very high resolution (VHR) images becomes easier, the complex characteristics of VHR images pose new challenges to traditional machine learning semantic segmentation methods. As an excellent convolutional neural network (CNN) structure, U-Net does not require manual intervention, and its high-precision features are widely used in image interpretation. However, as an end-to-end fully convolutional network, U-Net has not explored enough information from the full scale, and there is still room for improvement.

Characteristics of aerosol optical depth over land types in central Asia.

Aerosols are an important contributor to global atmospheric changes and have critical effects on the climate system. Regionally, aerosols in central Asia comprise a significant portion of global aerosols. Based on aerosol optical depth (AOD)Level 2 daily product data and land cover type product data, the long-term AOD characteristics of six major land use/cover types and their relationships with landscape metrics are discussed.

Candidate for Laser Cooling of a Negative Ion: High-Resolution Photoelectron Imaging of Th^{-}.

Laser cooling is a well-established technique for the creation of ensembles of ultracold neutral atoms or positive ions. This ability has opened many exciting new research fields over the past 40 years. However, no negatively charged ions have been directly laser cooled because a cycling transition is very rare in atomic anions.
