Evaluating Citebase, an open access Web-based citation-ranked search and impact discovery service
No full textCitebase is a new citation-ranked search and impact discovery service that measures citations of scholarly research papers which are openly accessible on the Web, i.e. papers that are assessable continuously online. Other services, such as ResearchIndex, have emerged in recent years to offer citation indexing of Web research papers. In the first detailed user evaluation of an open access Web citation indexing service, Citebase has been evaluated by nearly 200 users from different backgrounds. The paper details the procedures used in the evaluation, and analyses the results of this study, which took place between June and October 2002. It was found that within the scope of its primary components, the search interface and services available from its rich bibliographic records, Citebase can be used simply and reliably for the purpose intended, and that it compares favourably with other bibliographic services. It is shown tasks can be accomplished efficiently with Citebase regardless of the background of the user. More data need to be collected and the process refined before it is as reliable for measuring citation impact of indexed papers. Better explanations and guidance are required for first-time users. Coverage is seen as a limiting factor, even though Citebase indexes over 200,000 papers from arXiv. Non-physicists were frustrated at the lack of papers from other sciences. The principle of citation searching of open access archives has thus been demonstrated and need not be restricted to current users. Since the evaluation, Citebase has become a featured service of the ArXiv physics eprint archives
sparrpowR: Power Analysis to Detect Spatial Relative Risk Clusters
No full textCalculate the statistical power to detect clusters using kernel-based spatial relative risk functions that are estimated using the 'sparr' package. Details about the 'sparr' package methods can be found in the tutorial: Davies et al. (2018) . Details about kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1990) . More information about relative risk functions using kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1991)
The use of 3D printed paediatric temporal bones as a training tool
No full textIntroduction: Temporal bone dissection is an essential component of otological training. The ideal temporal bone training platform should allow the surgeon to prepare and undertake the actual operative procedure required prior to the operation on the patient. Paediatric temporal bones are generally not available or used due to ethical issues and availability.Methods: Using specialised computer programmes and non-identifiable paediatric high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans of temporal bones 3D printing of paediatric temporal bones has been trialled.Results: 3D printing of paediatric temporal bones has proved both an economical and anatomically accurate tool for training. Using HRCT scans to print from allows cases of appropriate complexity to be selected. Conclusion: 3D printed temporal bones from HRCT images provide optimal opportunities for paediatric temporal bone training and allow for more accurate delineation of structures. Furthermore, they provide improved haptics through choice of appropriate material, especially in complex cases and where anatomy may be difficult

Automated pneumococcal MLST using liquid-handling robotics and a capillary DNA sequencer
No full textMultilocus sequence typing (MLST) is used by the Scottish Meningococcus and Pneumococcus Reference Laboratory (SMPRL) as a routine method for the characterization of certain bacterial pathogens. The SMPRL recently started performing MLST on strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and here we describe a fully automated method for MLST using a 96-well-format liquid-handling robot and a 96-capillary automated DNA sequencer

3D-printed paediatric temporal bones as an alternative tool for otological training
No full textObjectives: Temporal bone dissection is an essential part of otological surgical training. Ethical reasons prevent the use of cadaveric paediatric temporal bones and diseased temporal bones harbour different anatomiy to most models or healthy specimens. Ideal preoperative preparation should allow the surgeon to undertake the actual operative procedure in a simulated manner. The use of 3D printed models based on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans has already being trialled for adults, but may be of greater benefit for paediatric cases. Methods:Non-identifiable HRCT scans of paediatric temporal bones were segmented and converted into surface representations using open source software and self-made algorithms. Several 3D prints of paediatric temporal bones were created, mounted in modelling clay and drilled by ENT surgeons using an electric drill.Results:3D printing of paediatric temporal bones has proved both economical and anatomically faithful. Use of HRCT scans allow specific cases to be selected for printing. The 3D printed models enabled cortical mastoidectomy to be undertaken but lacked sufficient resolution of the inner ear and facial nerve. With a price of £16, the cost of the bones is much lower than that of traditional plastic cast models.Conclusion:Further anatomical delineation of 3D printed temporal bones from HRCT images will provide the opportunity for improved paediatric temporal bone surgical training. It will also provide preoperative simulation opportunities in cases with challenging anatomy. Selection of appropriate materials potentially offers improved haptics. Further research in alternative segmentation and additive manufacturing methods will lead to improved temporal bone models
