Background: The aim of this study was to improve understanding of hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in a high-efficiency, hospital-based pathway.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1401 consecutive primary and revision TJA patients across 67 patient and preoperative care characteristics from 2016 t
The paper examines the flash floods that may appear in a representative river basin occupying the south-western Romania and also feature an example of the most recent flash flood from 2005-2006, more specifically, its causes and consequences.In order to accomplish the objectives, hydrological data were used to identify the characteristics of the fl
In these days, there is a paradigm shift from internal-combustion-engine vehicles to electric vehicles.Most electric vehicles developed include batteries mounted at the bottom, near the rear wheels.Hence, the robust design of underbody parts against the impact of external bodies or random stone chipping needs VESTS URBAN to be made.In this study, t
A technology for the automatic multi-class labeling of brain electron microscopy (EM) objects needed to create large synthetic datasets, which could be used for brain cell segmentation tasks, is proposed.The main research tools were a generative diffusion AI model and a U-Net-like segmentation model.The technology was studied on the segmentation ta
Soft robots grew to prominence in large part because they promised a new and exciting means for engineers to develop robots that are both highly adaptable and safe for direct human interaction.However, despite showing substantial promise in this area, soft robots have not yet seen widespread adoption.Two major factors that have prevented the develo
