Using arts-based digital storytelling in neonatal care to enhance nursing students’ empathy
(2021-02-01)
Background; Patient stories can be used to teach difficult topics about emotionally challenging times. Digital storytelling using an arts-based approach can improve nurses’ understanding of emotional experiences relating ...
Generating photo-realistic training data to improve face recognition accuracy
(2021-02-01)
Face recognition has become a widely adopted biometric in forensics, security and law enforcement thanks to the high accuracy achieved by systems based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, to achieve good ...
The implications of face masks for babies and families during the COVID-19 pandemic: A Discussion Paper
(2021-02-01)
COVID-19 has changed the way that newborn babies are cared for within the neonatal setting due to the introduction of social distancing and wearing of face masks to limit the spread of the infection. Potential implications ...
Fungal diversity and metabolomic profiles in GM and isogenic non-GM maize cultivars from Brazil
(2021-02-01)
There is little knowledge of the microbial diversity, mycotoxins and associated secondary metabolites in GM maize and isogenic non-GM cultivars (cvs). This study has quantified the microbial populations and dominant fungal ...
Experimental and simulation analysis on multi-gate variants in sand casting process
(2021-02-01)
The present work proposes an improved multi-gate designs (MGDs) in sand casting process, using both experimental and simulation (FLOW 3D) approaches, aiming to produce defect-free component. In this regard, the variant ...
