Simulation-Based Connected and Automated Vehicle Models on Highway Sections: A Literature Review by Wooseok Do, Omid M. Rouhani, Luis Miranda-Moreno

“…The review results offer new insights for future intelligent-vehicle analyses: (i) the increase in the market-penetration rate of intelligent vehicles has a significant impact on traffic flow conditions; (ii) without vehicle connections, such as the ACC vehicles, the roadway-capacity increase would be marginal; (iii) none of the parameters in the AV or CAV models is calibrated by the actual field data; (iv) both longitudinal and lateral movements of intelligent vehicles can reduce energy consumption and environmental costs compared to human-driven vehicles; (v) research gap exists in studying the car-following models for newly developed intelligent vehicles; and (vi) the estimated impacts are not converted into a unified metric (i.e., welfare economic impact on users or society) which is essential to evaluate intelligent vehicles from an overall societal perspective.…”

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes Between Vaginally Assisted NOTES Hysterectomy and Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Primary Hospitals: A Prospective Cohort Study by Shuying Fang, Yuandan Xia, Jianbo Jin, Jiaren Zhang, Lei Lu

“…However, there were no significant differences in conversion rates, uterine weights, complications, 24-h pain scores, hospital stay, costs, or readmission rates. The vNOTES group demonstrated shorter times to postoperative ambulation, earlier return of bowel function (anal exhaust), and reduced urinary catheter insertion duration (p < 0.05).Conclusion vNOTES hysterectomy is feasible in primary hospitals, with surgical outcomes comparable to those of TLH. …”

Where to cool off: a geospatial framework for placement of cooling centers by Bandana Kar, Paula Perez, Shannon Meade, Thomaz Carvalhaes

“…Although air conditioning (AC) is recommended for maintaining indoor thermal comfort, low- and medium-income households in the U.S. often do not own an AC and/or limit AC usage to reduce energy consumption and associated costs, thereby risking their health and safety. With the frequency and intensity of heatwaves increasing, cooling centers are considered an appropriate alternative to indoor cooling and a possible mitigation strategy to prevent adverse health impacts of heat exposure. …”
