Speech intelligibility (SI) tests under realistic acoustic scenarios are complex tasks to perform.Optimal acoustics, in terms of reverberation and noise, are thus needed.This is particularly true in the presence of young hard-of-hearing (HoH) children equipped with cochlear implants who need speech to be highly intelligible to learn.During the COVI

Introduction: The Da Vinci single port Console (SP) robotic system has emerged as a valuable platform for minimally invasive urologic surgery in the past decade.While adoption has been growing rapidly for procedures such as pyeloplasty, partial nephrectomy and radical/simple prostatectomy, its application to retroperitoneal nephroureterectomy has b

The uncertainty arising from random sampling of non-debris flow samples significantly impacts the accuracy of debris flow susceptibility assessments (DFSA).This study introduces a novel uncertainty elimination method, Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and compares it with Mean and Maximum Probability Analysis (MPA) methods.Furthermore, we investigat

BackgroundSoccer players incur injuries that typically affect their performance.Injuries are caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that call for multifactorial preventive interventions.The study examines the impact of the FIFA 11+ warm up programme on the incidence and severity of EftPos Cleaning Cards injuries in second division soccer players
