Digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare requires a range of safeguards and standards to work well, but new research from Flinders University provides support for effective AI systems to improve cardiovascular care.
The study examines how Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) can transform cardiovascular disease management – a leading cause of death in Australia – by providing more accurate, timely decisions while addressing real-world barriers like workflow integration, usability and clinician adoption.
Struggling with hysteresis and slow computing in high-speed nano-positioning systems? A new study in Engineering presents a neural-network-based switching controller paired with an FPGA–CPU dual-layer framework to tackle these issues. Designed for piezoelectric nano-stages, the approach stabilizes tracking under switching reference signals and supports reliable nanoscale manipulation. Verified by experiments, it delivers improved precision for precision manufacturing and detection tasks.
Soil salinity threatens global farmland, but a new Engineering study offers a sustainable solution. Researchers found that delivering halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria through drip irrigation greatly eases salt stress for jujube trees. This method cuts soil salinity, lifts yield and fruit quality, reshapes beneficial soil bacteria, and boosts plant stress resistance. It’s a practical, low-cost way to support crops in saline soils.
