Objectives: To test the feasibility of conducting unattended paediatric type III HSAT and to identify issues for improvements to optimize signal quality.
Material And Methods: Parents were instructed in setting up the unattended HSAT and reported their experiences. Signal quality and causes of signal failure of recordings were assessed.
Results: Forty children were included. Mean age was 5.2 years. Predefined success criteria were met in 53% of recordings. Main causes of signal failure were nasal cannula, pulse-oximetry and battery failure. Sensor fixation techniques were developed and implemented during the study and hence signal quality improved. Seventeen (94%) parents reported HSAT to be either easy or medium hard to use. Unattended paediatric type III HSAT can be conducted at home with acceptable signal quality. Signal quality improved considerably using simple sensor fixation techniques.

Colonial invertebrates consist of iterative semi-autonomous modules (usually termed zooids) whose lifespan is significantly shorter than that of the entire colony. Typically, module development begins with budding and ends with degeneration. Most studies on the developmental biology of colonial invertebrates have focused on blastogenesis, whereas the changes occurring throughout the entire zooidal life were examined only for a few tunicates.

There is therefore a need to investigate strategies to fortify our foods and food systems. Underutilized crops are farmed regionally, are often adapted to stresses, including droughts, and have great nutritional profiles, potentially being key for food security.

The presence of background noise or competing talkers is one of the main communication challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in speech understanding in naturalistic spaces. These external factors distort the time-frequency (T-F) content including magnitude spectrum and phase of speech signals. While most existing speech enhancement (SE) solutions focus solely on enhancing the magnitude response, recent research highlights the importance of phase in perceptual speech quality.

Confocal Raman microscopy, a highly specific and label-free technique for the microscale study of thick samples, often presents difficulties due to weak Raman signals. Inhomogeneous samples introduce wavefront aberrations that further reduce these signals, requiring even longer acquisition times. In this study, we introduce Adaptive Optics to confocal Raman microscopy for the first time to counteract such aberrations, significantly increasing the Raman signal and image quality.

Reproducible large-area fabrication is one of the remaining challenges for the commercialization of perovskite photovoltaics. Imaging methods augmented with deep learning (DL) enable in-line detection of spatial or temporal inconsistencies and predict the impact of observed changes on device performance. In this work, we showcase three use cases of how DL augments complex experimental data analysis of the large-area perovskite thin film formation, even on moderate-sized datasets.
