Abstract Objective Spinal orthoses are the most viable conservative treatment for scoliosis, and additive manufacturing techniques have shown huge perspective in producing patient-specific braces, reducing material waste, and production times.This pilot study aimed at determining whether 3D-printed braces could induce advantages or disadvantages co
Larval drift is a key process for successful fish recruitment.We used Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) as model species to investigate the relationship between larval drift and recruitment.Larval drift indices were derived from simulations based on survey observations between 1993 and 2016.We show that forward simulated larval dr
The use of mobile nodes to collect data in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has gained special attention over the last years.Some researchers explore the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as Twin Set mobile node for such data-collection purposes.Analyzing these works, it is apparent that mobile nodes used in such scenarios are typically equippe
Abstract Background Midwives are essential providers of primary health care and can play a major role in the provision of health care that can save lives and improve sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn and adolescent health outcomes.One way for midwives to deliver care is through midwife-led birth centres (MLBCs).Most of the evidence on MLBCs i
