...into novel materials for biomedical applications is ever increasing as the medical community look to improve the way in which disorders and trauma are treated. Issues with current materials and the additional trauma associated with the use of bone grafts has pushed research towards new materials to aid the required repair and/or the regeneration of bone after fracture or the removal of bony defects or cancerous bone. Many new materials have been developed in an attempt to address these concerns but there are still some issues surrounding the appropriateness of their mechanical properties, the ability of degradable materials to retain their properties once implanted and the ability to form the material in situ to the requirements of the surgeon. A biomaterial is a synthetic material used to replace part of a living system or to function in intimate contact with living tissue. There are a number of definitions describing biomaterials, but the most widely accepted definition is as follows: “a biomaterial is a nonviable material used in a medical device, intended to interact with biological...

...THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT: HOW SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO COMPUTERISATION?∗ Carl Benedikt Frey† and Michael A. Osborne‡ September 17, 2013 . Abstract We examine how susceptible jobs are to computerisation. To assess this, we begin by implementing a novel methodology to estimate the probability of computerisation for 702 detailed occupations, using a Gaussian process classifier. Based on these estimates, we examine expected impacts of future computerisation on US labour market outcomes, with the primary objective of analysing the number of jobs at risk and the relationship between an occupation’s probability of computerisation, wages and educational attainment. According to our estimates, about 47 percent of total US employment is at risk. We further provide evidence that wages and educational attainment exhibit a strong negative relationship with an occupation’s probability of computerisation. Keywords: Occupational Choice, Technological Change, Wage Inequality, Employment, Skill Demand JEL Classification: E24, J24, J31, J62, O33.
