In Arizona v. Fulminante (1991), the U.S. Supreme Court opened the door for appellate judges to conduct a harmless error analysis of erroneously admitted, coerced confessions. In this study, 132 judges from three states read a murder case summary, evaluated the defendant's guilt, assessed the voluntariness of his confession, and responded to implicit and explicit measures of harmless error. Results indicated that judges found a high-pressure confession to be coerced and hence improperly admitted into evidence. As in studies with mock jurors, however, the improper confession significantly increased their conviction rate in the absence of other evidence. On the harmless error measures, judges successfully overruled the confession when required to do so, indicating that they are capable of this analysis.

Catalytic pyrolysis technology is a harmless and useful solid waste treatment method. Studying the catalytic pyrolysis of sludge for hydrogen production is of practical significance. Therefore, this paper prepared a bifunctional catalyst with both microwave absorption and catalytic properties from electroplating sludge through carbonization and acid modification processes and then was characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, XPS, and FTIR.

Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is a crucial diagnostic tool for chorioretinal diseases, but its interpretation requires significant expertise and time. Prior studies have used Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems to assist FFA interpretation, but these systems lack user interaction and comprehensive evaluation by ophthalmologists. Here, we used large language models (LLMs) to develop an automated interpretation pipeline for both report generation and medical question-answering (QA) for FFA images.

Ultrasonic detection technology is widely used because of its high sensitivity, strong penetrating ability, accurate defect location, simple operation, and harmlessness to the human body. However, it is still challenging to locate and quantify the defects whose shapes are complex based on ultrasonic testing. The amount of data required for ultrasonic imaging is relatively large, and the efficiency is relatively low.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type of spinal disorder affecting children. Clinical screening and diagnosis require physical and radiographic examinations, which are either subjective or increase radiation exposure. We therefore developed and validated a radiation-free portable system and device utilising light-based depth sensing and deep learning technologies to analyse AIS by landmark detection and image synthesis.

Background Self-medication (SM) can be defined as the improper practice of obtaining and consuming a pharmaceutical drug without the consultation or prescription of a licensed physician. This includes evaluating the intensity of signs and symptoms which could lead to treating oneself with a medicine or seeking urgent medical care. Although SM can be deemed as safe for one's health, drug accessibility accounts for an irrational choice of medicines and thus exposes oneself to the adverse effects of these medicines.
