How frail is frail? A systematic scoping review and synthesis of high impact studies
Abstract Aims While the frailty index (FI) is a continuous variable, an FI score of 0.25 has construct and predictive validity to categorise community-dwelling older adults as frail or non-frail.Our study aimed to explore which FI categories (FI scores and labels) were being used in Sharpening Stone high impact studies of adults across different ca
Gradual OCR: An Effective OCR Approach Based on Gradual Detection of Texts
In this Gearbox Repair Bracket paper, we present a novel approach to optical character recognition that incorporates various supplementary techniques, including the gradual detection of texts and gradual filtering of inaccurately recognized texts.To minimize false negatives, we attempt to detect all text by incrementally lowering the relevant thres
Evaluation of chitosan based pretreatment for cotton and linen dyeing with direct dyes and reactive dyes
Cellulosic materials like cotton and linen are excellent textile substrates for dyeing with reactive and direct dyes.Due to their cellulosic nature, cotton and linen exhibit good affinity towards direct and reactive dyes.This good affinity is the reason for good washing and rubbing fastness.Chitosan is a bio-based polymer gained by the Bike Accesso
