I wouldn't have thought that quantitative analyses of retrospective national bibliographies would be that painful: data access via SRU, OAI, and REST API; another resource has a JSON dump, another one again consists of various ttl for which you have to set up your own sparql endpoint. And I've not even arrived at formats, metadata standards and cataloguing peculiarities 🤯 so everything's #FAIR

An Overview of Algorithms for Contactless Cardiac Feature Extraction from Radar Signals: Advances and Challenges
Contactless cardiac monitoring has vast potential to replace contact-based monitoring in various future scenarios such as smart home and in-cabin monitoring. Various contactless sensors can be potentially implemented for cardiac monitoring, such as cameras, acoustic sensors, Wi-Fi routers and radars. Among all these sensors, radar could achieve unobtrusive monitoring with high accuracy and robustness at the same time. The research about radar-based cardiac monitoring can be generally divided in…

Penalizing Transparency? How AI Disclosure and Author Demographics Shape Human and AI Judgments About Writing
As AI integrates in various types of human writing, calls for transparency around AI assistance are growing. However, if transparency operates on uneven ground and certain identity groups bear a heavier cost for being honest, then the burden of openness becomes asymmetrical. This study investigates how AI disclosure statement affects perceptions of writing quality, and whether these effects vary by the author's race and gender. Through a large-scale controlled experiment, both human raters (n =…

Retrospective score tests versus prospective score tests for genetic association with case-control data
Since the seminal work by Prentice and Pyke (1979), the prospective logistic likelihood has become the standard method of analysis for retrospectively collected case-control data, in particular for testing the association between a single genetic marker and a disease outcome in genetic case-control studies. When studying multiple genetic markers with relatively small effects, especially those with rare variants, various aggregated approaches based on the same prospective likelihood have been de…
