AI Article Synopsis

  • * The camera setup employs a scanning Fabry-Pérot interferometer and records data to distinguish between twelve different plastic types when heated to 60 °C.
  • * A nine-component principal component analysis combined with a k-nearest neighbors model achieves high accuracy, with a 90% micro precision and 99% macro specificity, successfully classifying most plastic types except for ABS.

Article Abstract

The long wave infrared regime of the electromagnetic spectrum has been used to identify and classify different types of plastics. This work presents an early-stage version of an industrial hyperspectral camera, which is based on a low-order scanning Fabry-Pérot interferometer and is sensitive to radiation with wavelengths from 8 µm to 15 µm. As a demonstration, the setup is used to record interferograms and distinguish between twelve types of common plastics heated to 60 °C. The plastic identification is based on a nine-component principal component analysis model combined with k-nearest neighbors. The resulting model shows a micro precision of 90 % and a macro specificity of 99 %, being able to classify all tested plastic types except ABS.

Methods to prepare and characterize neutron helical waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) were recently demonstrated at small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) facilities. These methods enable access to the neutron orbital degree of freedom which provides new avenues of exploration in fundamental science experiments as well as in material characterization applications. However, it remains a challenge to recover phase profiles from SANS measurements.

Electrocardiography interpretation competency among pediatric and child health residents at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia.

BMC Med Educ

December 2024

Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Background: Electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation competency is vital to ensure the timely initiation of life-saving treatment for emergent ECG conditions. This competency has not been well-studied among pediatric and child health residents. Hence, the study aimed to determine the competency in ECG interpretation and its predictors among residents at the National University of Ethiopia.

Exercise has a significant impact on the cardiovascular (CV) health of children and adolescents, with resultant alterations in CV structure and function being evident, even at an early age. Engagement in regular, moderate physical activity (PA) is associated with long-term CV health benefits and a reduced risk of CV disease and mortality later in life. However, competitive sports often involve PA training intensities that are beyond recommended levels for young athletes, potentially leading to adverse CV outcomes.

Background: Problematic gaming (PG) has emerged as a major concern due to its potential impact on adolescents' everyday lives. Emotional abuse (EA) and psychoticism are considered factors influencing PG, but their long-term interactions have not been extensively studied. This research investigates these relationships over time using the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model.
