BACKGROUND Splenic abscess is rare but has mortality rates as high as 14% even with recent improvements in management. Early and appropriate intervention may improve patient outcomes, yet at present there is no identified method that can predict mortality risk rapidly and accurately for emergency physicians, surgeons, and intensivists to decide on the ideal course of action. OBJECTIVE This st...

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and drone-based structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry allowed the study of soil deformations due to blast-induced liquefaction during an experiment carried out on 4 June 2018. The research aimed at both evaluating measurement quality estimating rammed aggregate piers (RAPs) effectiveness in mitigating effects liquefaction. These mainly consist subsidence de...

Flexible decision-making tools are needed to support action plans for plastics and other pollutants. Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAPs) technological readiness levels (TRLs) will enable systematic validation global harmonization of plastic pollution monitoring methods.

This paper proposes a generic human-computer software user interface design, called the Resource Allocation Planning System (RAPS), designed to support a person making resource allocation decisions. Although there are many algorithms for automatically solving resource allocation problems, it is often the case that human judgment is also required. Also, while there are software user interfaces t...

We have been pursuing the integration of a state-based planner as the deliberative top layer of a three-tiered robot control architecture. The middle layer is implemented in the RAP system, while the bottom layer consists of a suite of reactive skills which can be configured by the RAPs system into Brooksian machines. Our target environment has been the ground control center of a space station ...

Forecasting upstream flow amount based on downstream values is a new way of managing flood risk. This kind prediction the flow, size, and intensity rivers in alluvial aquifers is, most cases, challenging task due to climate change, as well anthropogenic impacts river flows. The presented methodology allows for organizing preparing measures protection, operational work hydropower plants, many ot...

This manuscript presents a thorough review of unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) and their importance in Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS). In RAPS systems that utilize solar hydrogen power, which typically include photovoltaic modules, proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, gas storage, PEM cells, the cost these is currently higher compared to conventional employ diesel generators or...
