OBSERVATIONAL COHORT STUDY TO VALIDATE SEARCH, A NOVEL HIERARCHICAL ALGORITHM TO DEFINE LONG-TERM OUTCOMES AFTER PULMONARY EMBOLISM

Observational cohort study to validate SEARCH, a novel hierarchical algorithm to define long-term outcomes after pulmonary embolism

Background Chronic dyspnoea and exercise impairment are common after acute pulmonary embolism (PE) but are not defined and quantified sufficiently to Workstations serve as outcomes in clinical trials.The planned project will clinically validate a novel method to determine discrete, clinically meaningful diagnoses after acute PE.The method uses an a

Biochar boosts tropical but not temperate crop yields

Applying biochar to soil is thought to have multiple benefits, from helping mitigate climate change [ 1 , 2 ], to managing waste [ 3 ] to conserving soil [ 4 ].Biochar is also widely assumed Small Animal Habitats to boost crop yield [ 5 , 6 ], but there is controversy regarding the extent and cause of any yield benefit [ 7 ].Here we use a global-sc

NOMA-Assisted Multiple Access Scheme for IoT Deployment: Relay Selection Model and Secrecy Performance Improvement

In this paper, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) system containing a relay selection is studied as employing an emerging multiple access scheme, namely non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA).This paper proposes a new scheme to consider secure performance, to be called relay selection NOMA (RS-NOMA).In particular, we consider metrics to evaluate secure per
