Chapter Reducing inconsistency in AHP by combining Delphi and Nudge theory an…
A big issue of the AHP regards the inconsistency of the pairwise comparison matrices and here we propose a new method to reduce the inconsistency. As a solution we exploit the Nudge theory (Thaler and Sunstein, 2008) and from the second round of the Delphi survey, we calculate and circulate a Nudge to “gentle push” the experts towards more consistent evaluations

Biocatalytic Applications in Biotechnology
Rhododendrol (RD) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in many plants. Tyrosinase (Ty) converts RD to RD-catechol and subsequently RD-quinone via two-step oxidation reactions, after which RD-melanin forms spontaneously from RD-quinone. RD is cytotoxic in melanocytes and lung cancer cells, but not in keratinocytes and fibroblasts.

Big Data Analytics and Information Science for Business and Biomedical Applic…
The availability of powerful non-invasive neuroimaging techniques has given rise to various studies that aim to map the human brain. These studies focus on not only finding brain activation signatures but also on understanding the overall organization of functional communication in the brain network. Based on the principle that distinct brain regions are functionally connected and continuou…

Machine learning models can automatically discover biomedical research trends and promote the dissemination of information and knowledge. Text feature representation is a critical and challenging task in natural language processing. Most methods of text feature representation are based on word representation. A good representation can capture semantic and structural information.

Advances in Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, Theoretical Modelling…
The concept of synergistic effects has been widely applied in many scientific fields such as in biomedical science and material chemistry, and has further attracted interest in the fields of both synthesis and application of nanomaterials. In this paper, we report the synthesis of long-wavelength emitting silicon quantum dots based on a one-step hydrothermal route with catechol (CC) and sodi…

Advances in Musculoskeletal Modeling and their Application to Neurorehabilita…
Neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) modeling has the potential to serve as a valuable tool for informing the design of assistive devices or neurorehabilitation interventions. For these applications, an NMS model must be able to represent the relevant unique characteristics of the targeted subject, e.g., a person with a neurological disorder. Motion predictive simulations, by considering the task con…

Advances in Musculoskeletal Imaging and Their Applications
Antegrade intramedullary (IM) nailing is the gold standard treatment for femoral shaft fractures; however, the non-union rate of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures is still high after antegrade IM nailing. This retrospective case–control study aimed to determine the association between perioperative radiographic factors and the non-union of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures after an…
