The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, group B streptococcus, herpes simplex virus, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae from cervical cultures obtained from 210 women seeking abortion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America was 9.3%, 72.9%, 25.2%, 4.3%, 0.9%, and 0.9% respectively. Cultures from 40/203 (19.7%) patients failed to produce any of t...

This paper describes the depth of treatment of generic attributes coverage in a regional university (RU) information systems undergraduate curriculum, and compares it to the coverage in a large capital city university (CCU). Comparisons are made with the perceived industry requirements as stated in the Australian Computer Society (ACS) Core Body of Knowledge. The investigative techniques used t...

A techno-economic analysis of viable scenarios for the aviation industry to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions is presented. These are based (i) on carbon capture and storage (CCS), where conventional fossil jet fuel produced, corresponding offset by capturing CO2, either via direct air (DAC-CCS route) or point-source (PSC-CCS route), permanently storing it underground, (ii) utilization (CCU), synt...

High-performance computing has made a great impact in recent times in achieving practical solutions to problems in health care. This paper is concerned with the application of computers in processing heart rate variability (HRV) signals from critically ill heart patients for detection of patient states in cardiac care units (CCU). A perspective of the state-of-the-art is presented along with fu...

Underwater acoustic target recognition (UATR) technology based on deep learning and automatic encoding has become an important research direction in the underwater field recent years. However, existing methods do not have favourable self-adaptability for different data because of complex changeable environment, which easily leads to unsatisfactory effect. The concept contrastive is introduced i...
