Pre-trained CNN based deep features with hand-crafted features and patient data for skin lesion classification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Skin cancer is a major public health problem, with millions newly diagnosed cases each year. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, responsible for the most over 6500 deaths each year in the US, and the rates have ... -
Pre-Treatment Deep Curettage Can Significantly Reduce Tumour Thickness in Thick Basal Cell Carcinoma While Maintaining a Favourable Cosmetic Outcome When Used in Combination with Topical Photodynamic Therapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has limitations in the treatment of thick skin tumours. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of pre-PDT deep curettage on tumour thickness in thick (≥2 mm) basal cell carcinoma ... -
Pre-treatment evaluation of basal cell carcinoma for photodynamic therapy: comparative measurement of tumour thickness in punch biopsy and excision specimens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Tumour thickness affects the outcome of photodynamic therapy in basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether punch biopsy provides reliable information on BCC tumour thickness, by comparing ... -
Pre-treatment methods for straw for farm-scale biogas plants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study investigated the effect of five different pre-treatment methods (ammonia (NH3), caustic soda (NaOH), dry milling, hot water and steam explosion) for straw for biogas production. The methods were selected based ... -
Precarious employment and health in the context of COVID-19: a rapid scoping umbrella review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background There are widespread concerns that workers in precarious employment have suffered the most in the COVID-19 pandemic and merit special attention. The aim of this rapid scoping umbrella review was to examine what ... -
Precaution and Fairness: A Framework for Distributing Costs of Protection from Environmental Risks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)While there is an extensive literature on how the precautionary principle should be interpreted and when precautions should be taken, relatively little discussion exists about the fair distribution of costs of taking ... -
Preceptorship during health personnel students’ clinical studies in nursing homes – an institutional perspective on an intervention
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Aim The recruitment and retention of preceptors to mentor health professional students and apprentices in their clinical studies are not easy. The aim of this study was to investigate factors that hindered the implementation ... -
Preceptorship of clinical learning in nursing homes - A qualitative study of influences of an interprofessional team intervention
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study aimed to explore the influences of an interprofessional preceptor-team intervention (IPPT) on interprofessional collaboration, preceptors' role, confidence, and motivation to precept health care students (nursing, ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study aimed to explore the influences of an interprofessional preceptor-team intervention (IPPT) on interprofessional collaboration, preceptors' role, confidence, and motivation to precept health care students (nursing, ... -
Precincts and Prospects in the Use of Focus Groups in Social and Behavioral Science Research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Over the past few years, the focus group method has assumed a very important role as a method for collecting qualitative data in social and behavioural science research. This article elucidates theoretical and practical ... -
Precious Metal Price Prediction based on Deep Regularization Self-Attention Regression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)It is non-trivial to predict the prices of precious metals since a number of factors can affect the fluctuations of precious metal prices. Either parametric models or machine learning models cannot accurately forecast the ... -
Precipitate formation in aluminium alloys: Multi-scale modelling approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ternary Al–Mg–Si alloys have been modelled based on a multi-scale approach that spans across atomistic and mesoscale models and uses theoretically determined parameters. First, a cluster expansion model for total energy ... -
Precipitate statistics in an Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy from scanning precession electron diffraction data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The key microstructural feature providing strength to age-hardenable Al alloys is nanoscale precipitates. Alloy development requires a reliable statistical assessment of these precipitates, in order to link the microstructure ... -
Precipitate/matrix incompatibilities related to the {111}Al Ω plates in an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy
