Prediction with right-censored survival outcomes is challenging because incomplete event-time observation degrades estimation prediction, and uncertainty quantification. Cox proportional-hazards and parametric accelerated-failure-time (AFT) models deteriorate when covariate effec...

Data analytics and last-mile delivery in urban areas: challenges and opportunities
Purpose This research explores how data analytics can address last-mile delivery (LMD) challenges in urban areas. LMD is the most expensive, least efficient, and most environmentally damaging supply chain phase, yet analytics adoption remains uneven. Design/methodology/approach A...

Background Women are markedly underrepresented among blood donors in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), where they account for a median of only about 6% of donations despite contributing nearly one-third of donations globally. Conventional explanations emphasize biomedical a...
- AI & ComputingOpen access
Machine learning models for toxicity prediction are routinely evaluated using random train/test splits, allowing structurally similar compounds to appear in both sets and inflating reported performance metrics. A rigorous benchmark quantifying this overestimation alongside calibr...

About one third of all the food grown for people is lost or wasted every year. Fast-moving consumer goods with very short shelf lives lose a large share of this food at the distribution stage. Distributors face a hard choice because ordering too much turns good food into waste wh...

Efficacy of student developed and led high value care education in preclinical medical students
The Institute of Medicine estimates that, on average, about one third of all healthcare waste is attributed to unnecessary services. High value care (HVC) is a proposed solution to this problem but is currently underrepresented in preclinical undergraduate medical education (UME)...

A sentiment analysis of public opposition to carbon capture and storage technology
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is recognized as an important technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate targets, yet some segments of society express public opposition. Public opposition, even when expressed by minority groups, has at times influence...

Uncovering hidden factors in traffic crashes through text mining of Ohio police narratives
Introduction: Road traffic crashes pose a significant public health challenge, with traditional crash data often relying on broad classifications that obscure critical details. This study addresses the knowledge gap created by ambiguous categories, “Other Improper Action” and “No...
