Offering informed choice about breast screening

Over the last few years, there has been growing international concern about the risk of overdiagnosis in breast screening and about how to communicate this to women. There has also been an increasing policy drive to provide people with information to enable them to make an informed choice about screening. In response to this, a novel approach to developing the information about cancer screening ha

Geometry-Based Stochastic Channel Model for High-Speed Railway Communications

Reliable wireless communication links are a critical but challenging aspect for high-speed railway (HSR). To develop and analyze such systems, accurate models for the propagation channel are required. The radio channel properties in HSR scenarios are different from those in cellular scenarios not only due to the high velocity, but also due to the special construction elements and the type of surro

On the methodologies for the assessment of the impact of parameters in acoustophoretic separation devices

In this communication, we reconcile the kinematic method illustrated by some authors (Yang et al. in Microfluid Nanofluid 22:44–56, 2018; Vitali et al. in RSC Adv 8:38955, 2018) in studying the impact of system and suspension parameters on acoustophoretic separations with the statistical method formerly proposed by Garofalo (Microfluid Nanofluid 18(3):367–382, 2014a; ASME 2014 3rd global congress

No survival difference between robotic and open radical hysterectomy for women with early-stage cervical cancer : results from a nationwide population-based cohort study

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after open and robotic radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer. Patients and methods: This was a nationwide population-based cohort study on all women with cervical cancer stage IA1-IB of squamous, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous histological subtypes, from January 2011 to December 2017,

How the built environment and the railway network can affect the mobility of older people : Analyses of the southern Swedish region of Scania

Global society is rapidly ageing. Research on ageing and mobility suggests that better synergies could exist between older people and the built environment. The age-in-place policy will put increased demands on the transport system as a key facilitator for access. The main goal of this study is to examine the spatial distribution of older adults, assessing if it could be affected by selective char

Evolutionary Selection against Iteratively Weakly Dominated Strategies

This paper provides sufficient conditions under which regular payoff monotonic evolutionary dynamics (a class of imitative dynamics that includes the replicator dynamic) select against strategies that do not survive a sequence of iterated elimination of weakly dominated strategies. We apply these conditions to Bertrand duopolies and first-price auctions. Our conditions also imply evolutionary sele
