The disproportionate smoking prevalence among adolescents in rural Taiwan may be attributed to insufficient anti-smoking education. Increasing access to such education may help reduce initiation and promote smoking cessation in adolescents, particula...
Context. This commentary is based on an innovative approach to the development of predictive analytics. It is centered on the development of predictive models for varying stages of chronic disease through integrating all types of datasets, adds vario...
Multimodal sensing provides a mature foundation for elevator monitoring, while visual records, equipment-state records, and operational responses still need to be connected in many deployed community systems. This study develops an event-level closed...
The global prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is 25%, and its onset is closely related to fatty acid metabolism disorders. With the rise of the concept of non-drug treatment, the intervention potential of unsaturated fatty acids...
Crop productivity emerges from interacting processes of resource capture, biomass production, allocation, and yield formation. Final yield alone cannot identify which process limited production, when the limitation occurred, or whether additional inp...
Failure to appropriately document patient medical information, such as allergies, is an important cause of medication errors. Lack of allergy details in the electronic medical record (EMR) may prolong the pharmacist order verification process. A retr...
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can rapidly produce persuasive health information in the form of text, synthetic images, cloned voices and deepfake videos. It can also be used to create fictitious professional identities. This narrative revie...
The activated sludge process serves as the core barrier in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment, yet its stability is inherently challenged by the extreme complexity of influent composition and the unpredictability of toxic shocks, particularly under...
This article examines the IntegreviseTM platform through a repeated cross-sectional, multi-cycle pilot case study of viva-based verification in AI-mediated assessment environments. IntegreviseTM pairs a submitted written artifact with a short adaptiv...
Self-checkout (SCO) systems have become an integral part of modern retail, yet their increasing popularity has also revealed a number of technical and usability challenges that influence customer experience and technology acceptance. This paper inves...
