Considerations of equity in the development of tools that identify and respond to end-of-life carer support needs: a scoping review protocol
Introduction Informal caregivers are essential in supporting end-of-life patients at home but are often ill-prepared for the carer role.There is growing interest in the development of tools to assess caregiver support needs and a recognised need for a greater focus on addressing inequities in end-of-life care.We plan to undertake a scoping review o
Artificial Intelligence Approach for Classifying Images of Upper-Atmospheric Transient Luminous Events
Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) are short-lived, upper-atmospheric optical phenomena associated with thunderstorms.Their rapid and random occurrence makes manual classification laborious and time-consuming.This study presents an effective approach to automating the classification of TLEs using state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
