Split-thickness skin grafting (SSG) is a common reconstructive technique for the treatment of patients with deep burns and other traumatic injuries. The management of the donor site after harvesting an SSG remains controversial because of a variety of dressings available for use. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effectiveness of a polyurethane dressing, Allevyn™, t...

Abstract Degraded or defect machine components and consumables negatively impact manufacturing quality productivity. Diagnosing predicting the wear degradation status of critical parts are therefore general interest. To tackle this challenge, data-driven approaches based on supervised learning principles have demonstrated promising results. However, models capable identification require large q...
