Abstract This manuscript investigates viable Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) architecture approaches to be used as basis for the distribution of integrity verification data. We discuss what can a Trust Anchor and how property trust enabled service mobile communications infrastructures. follows up on preceding publication, in course which was developed that utilized create traceability trans...

The know-your-customer (KYC) due diligence process is outdated and generates costs of up to USD 500 million per year per bank. The authors propose a new system, based on distributed ledger technology (DLT), that reduces the costs of the core KYC verification process for financial institutions and improves the customer experience. In the proposed system, the core KYC verification process is only...

This article outlines the participation of the Documents and Linguistic Technology (DLT) Group in the Cross Language French-English Question Answering Task of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF). Our aim was to make an initial study of cross language question answering (QA) by adapting the system built for monolingual English QA for the Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) in 2002 (Sutcliffe...

We report a complication that occurred when using a frova intubating introducer to assist placement of a Mallinckrodt double lumen tube (DLT) in a patient undergoing oesphagectomy. The non compatibility of this commonly used airway device with the DLT resulted in plastic shavings from the introducer contaminating the patients bronchial tree. All fragments of plastic were retrieved and the patie...

UNLABELLED Lung isolation can be accomplished in two ways: the first, a double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) and the second, a bronchial blocker (Univent or Arndt blocker). Previous studies have found that the DLT and the Univent are comparable when providing lung isolation. A new bronchial blocker, the wire-guided endobronchial blocker (Arndt blocker), has been introduced. However, there is no...

The European Commission published its new Digital Finance Strategy on 24 September 2020 (DFS 2020). One of the centerpieces is draft regulation a pilot regime for market infrastructures based distributed ledger technology (known as PilotR). The PilotR Proposal foresees regulatory sandbox approach Single Market, offering firms set exemptions from EU financial law allowing them to test technol...

In this paper we approach the problem of insitu camera calibration using an auxiliary mobile color-depth camera. The calibration is based on image lines and the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT). Calibration includes intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, and radial distortion. Traditionally, camera calibration methods based on DLT combine 2D and 3D points. Using 2D image lines allows adding simp...

BACKGROUND The use of a video-assisted laryngoscope (VL) has been shown to reduce the time to achieve intubation with a double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT). As the blade of the VL is curved differently to a standard laryngoscope, the DLT must be angled into a hockey stick shape to fit properly. We conducted a study to establish which direction of angulation was best to facilitate correct posi...
