“…A large section is dedicated to wearable devices like biomechanical devices to gauge motor skills, and other smart devices to assess player performance. Beyond awareness, the multidisciplinary nature of this book is a source of inspiration for the scientific community…”

“…In a departure from the vignette-driven format of our earlier books, this installment gravitates toward discussing frameworks, theoretical considerations, team-centric approaches, and a variety of other concepts that are critical to both our understanding and the implementation of safer and better-performing health systems. We also feel that the knowledge presented herein increasingly applies across the world, especially as global health systems evolve and mature over time. …”

“…Furthermore, with the introduction of higher performance polymers, feedstocks, and composites, new opportunities in terms of material properties can be exploited, and, consequently, more micro-products and micro/nano-structured surfaces are currently being designed and manufactured.Innovations in micro- and nano-molding techniques are seen in the different processes employed in production (injection molding, micro injection molding, etc.); on the use of new and functional materials; for an ever-increasing number of applications (health-care devices, micro-implants, mobility, and communications products, optical elements, micro-electromechanical systems, sensors, etc.); in several key enabling technologies that support the successful realization of micro and nano molding processes (micro- and nano-tooling technologies, process monitoring techniques, micro- and nanometrology methods for quality control, simulation, etc.) and their integration into new manufacturing process chains.This Special Issue reprint showcases research papers and review articles that focus on the latest developments in micro-manufacturing and key enabling technologies for the production of both micro-products and micro-structured surfaces…”

“…In anticipation of the event, it unveils state-of-the-art information and research on the latest policies, traffic loading measurements, in-situ measurements and condition surveys, functional testing, deflection measurement evaluation, structural performance prediction for pavements and tracks, new construction and rehabilitation design systems, frost affected areas, drainage and environmental effects, reinforcement, traditional and recycled materials, full scale testing and on case histories of road, railways and airfields. …”

“…Lastly, forecasting models based on quarterly time series have been developed to provide a picture of the future performance of the sector. The study allows defining appropriate strategies to be implemented to respond to new consumption trends…”

“…Active patch antennas, object of the publication and introduced as the enabling technology for high performance multifunctional front-ends for radar and communication systems, are currently also being used for Personal Area Networks (PAN) and for Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), at a low cost and power. …”

“…The featured works were performed by groups of high school students, under the supervision of the teachers who have personally wrote the drafting. …”

“…The Alteryx platform allows users to access, cleanse, and integrate data from various sources, and perform statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and geospatial analysis. …”

“…The possible usefulness of explanatory models of machine learning for diagnosis and for performing chronobiological measurements that allow a more individualized treatment stand out among the novel contributions to the field of dual disorders. …”

“…Methods The systematic review was performed according to procedures described in the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Servicesf handbook. …”

“…These three approaches ascertain that stakeholders have specific responsibilities to assist in increasing access to high-priced medicines, yet they remain vague about the precise nature of actions stakeholders should perform to promote access to medicines. This report builds particularly on international human rights, and identifies specific obligations that, if properly implemented, should contribute to better access to medicines…”

“…A systematic literature search was performed using the databases Medline, Embase, PsychInfo, Cinahl and Swemed. …”

“…According to the review and the randomised trials physical training may increase physical performance in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. …”

“…In Norway, thrombectomy is performed at specific intervention centres. However, time is a crucial factor, as the intervention is recommended maximum 6 hours following the stroke. …”

“…We restricted our inclusion criteria to studies with data from 1990 and forward. The review was performed according to general priciples for HTA. RESULTS PCI: We included 37 publications. …”

“…Mandate The Directorate for Health and Social Affairs has asked the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services to summarize the documentation of the clinical outcome of IVM cycles and the obstetric, perinatal and devolopmental outcome of IVM children. Methods We have performed a systematic search for literature in the following databases: Cochrane Library, Medline and Embase for the period 2004-2008. …”
