Smoking cyclone: compliance with nicotine replacement patch prescription in hospitalised smokers: a two-cycle QIP by Mustain Jawad, Abir Aijaz, Shovan Rahman, Shayekh Ferdous, Tonmoy Dey

“…A study involving 580 hospitalised smokers found that only 7.1% used NRT during their hospitalisation, with 6% using the nicotine patch.3Among all NRT options (gums, lozenges, mouth spray, nasal spray and inhalers), the nicotine patch was most effective in hospitalised smokers because of its longer duration of action and easy compliance.4As per our Trust protocol, patients are supposed to have a NRT patch prescription within 24 h of their admission, based on the patch prescription according to Trust guidelines, as detailed in Table 1. …”

Multi-patch attention Transformer for multivariate long-term time series forecasting of TBM excavation parameters by Mingjun Liu, Jianqin Liu, Wei Guo, Hongxu Liu, Xiao Guo

“…To address the research gap in multivariable long-term time series forecasting in the field of tunnel boring machine (TBM) and provide long-term insights for decision-making in TBM construction, this paper studies a novel Transformer-based forecasting model. Leveraging a multi-patch attention mechanism, the newly developed multi-patch attention Transformer (MPAT) model is designed to predict long-term trends of multiple TBM operation parameters. …”

Substrate Dielectric Constant Effects on the Performances of a Metasurface-Based Circularly Polarized Microstrip Patch Antenna by Kam Eucharist Kedze, Heesu Wang, Yong Bae Park, Ikmo Park

“…This paper presents the effects of substrate dielectric constants on the performance characteristics of a circularly polarized (CP) metasurface-based patch antenna. The antenna structure is a modified patch with a step-like truncation sandwiched between a metasurface composed of a 4 × 4 lattices of periodic metallic patches and a ground plane. …”
