Machine learning can impact people with legal or ethical consequences when it is used to automate decisions in areas such as insurance, lending, hiring, and predictive policing. In many of these scenarios, previous have been made that are unfairly biased against certain subpopulations, for example those a particular race, gender, sexual orientation. Since this past data may be biased, machine predictors must account avoid perpetuating creating discriminatory practices. paper, we develop...

Public transportation systems are an essential component of major cities. The widespread use smart cards for automated fare collection in these offers a unique opportunity to understand passenger behavior at massive scale. In this study, we network-wide data obtained from the London transport system predict future traffic volumes, and estimate effects disruptions due unplanned closures stations or lines. Disruptions, shocks, force passengers make different decisions concerning which enter...

Patients with chronic pain commonly believe their is related to the weather. Scientific evidence support beliefs inconclusive, in part due difficulties getting a large dataset of patients frequently recording symptoms during variety weather conditions. Smartphones allow opportunity collect data overcome these difficulties. Our study

The recent development of biological sensors has extended marine plankton studies from conducting laboratory bench work to in vivo and real-time observations. Flow cytometry (FCM) shed new light on microorganisms since the 1980s through its single-cell approach robust detection smallest cells. FCM records valuable optical properties scattering fluorescence cells passing a single file front narrow-collimated source, recording tens thousands within few minutes. Depending instrument settings,...

Abstract The polycentric city model has gained popularity in spatial planning policy, since it is believed to overcome some of the problems often present monocentric metropolises, ranging from congestion difficult accessibility jobs and services. However, concept ‘polycentric city’ a fuzzy definition as result, extent which cannot be easily determined. Here, we leverage fine spatio-temporal resolution smart travel card data infer urban polycentricity by examining how departs well-defined...

Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use ecosystem resources. The flexibility taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for end-users concepts. Users need standardised continuously harmonised reference systems, as well high-quality complete data sets, but these are generally lacking non-specialists. solution is dynamic, expertly curated web-based tools.

Purpose Digital technology changes the organizational structure of traditional firms, creating opportunities for entrepreneurship. These modifications are known as “digital transformation” (DT). In addition, higher education institutions (HEIs) altering form student–lecturer and teaching–learning interaction, where DT restructures bases soft skills (SS). Since SS difficult to measure, this study aims analyze digital academic entrepreneurship, responding following research question: What...
