Thermo-optic tuning and switching in SOI waveguide Fabry-Perot microcavities
Compact silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide thermo-optically tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors are demonstrated. Quality factors of Q=4,584 are... -
Parametric distortion-adaptive neighborhood for omnidirectional camera
Catadioptric omnidirectional images exhibit serious nonlinear distortion due to the involved quadratic mirror. Conventional pinhole model-based methods perform poorly when... -
Effect of postextubation high-flow nasal cannula therapy on lung recruitment ...
Abstract Background Postextubation high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is used as a support therapy in high-risk patients in ICU. This study aimed to determine the effects of HFNC... -
DiNAR: revealing hidden patterns of plant signalling dynamics using Different...
Abstract Background Progress in high-throughput molecular methods accompanied by more complex experimental designs demands novel data visualisation solutions. To specifically... -
Vectorial control of nonlinear emission via chiral butterfly nanoantennas: ge...
We report on a chiral gap-nanostructure, which we term a “butterfly nanoantenna,” that offers full vectorial control over nonlinear emission. The field enhancement in its gap... -
Spatiotemporal epidemiology of, and factors associated with, the tuberculosis...
Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health issue worldwide. However, evidence concerning the impact of environmental factors on TB is sparse. We... -
Improved ascertainment of modes of HIV transmission in Ukraine indicates impo...
Abstract Background It is important to understand how HIV infection is transmitted in the population in order to guide prevention activities and properly allocate limited... -

Flood-illuminated adaptive optics ophthalmoscope with a single curved relay m...
For decreasing light loss and diminishing the aberrations of the optical system, an open-loop adaptive optics (AO) system for retinal imaging in vivo is introduced. Taking... -
Working towards a definition for workplace violence actions in the health sector
Abstract Background Unlike the patient safety research network, no consensus document exists that outlines definitions and concepts that pertain to the workplace violence... -
A video based feedback system for control of an active commutator during beha...
Abstract Background To investigate the relationship between neural function and behavior it is necessary to record neuronal activity in the brains of freely behaving animals, a... -
Bus commuting, subway commuting, and walking to workplaces in U.S. cities: So...
Most previous studies that examine the controversies involved in transit subsidies concentrate on large metropolitan areas in the U.S. The main contribution of this paper to the... -
Patient reported outcomes – experiences with implementation in a University H...
Abstract Aim Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have traditionally been implemented through a manual process of paper and pencil with little standardization throughout a... -
Omalizumab in patients with severe asthma and persistent sputum eosinophilia
Abstract Omalizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the IgE molecule, is the first biologic approved for moderate-to-severe allergic asthmatics, who... -
Bayesian accrual prediction for interim review of clinical studies: open sour...
Abstract Background Subject recruitment for medical research is challenging. Slow patient accrual leads to increased costs and delays in treatment advances. Researchers need... -
Face morphing attacks: Investigating detection with humans and computers
Abstract Background In recent years, fraudsters have begun to use readily accessible digital manipulation techniques in order to carry out face morphing attacks. By submitting a... -
Predicting potential adverse events using safety data from marketed drugs
Abstract Background While clinical trials are considered the gold standard for detecting adverse events, often these trials are not sufficiently powered to detect difficult to... -
Spatial patterns of unemployment in Central Europe: emerging development axes...
In this paper, we focus on mapping and analysing the spatial patterns of unemployment in four Central European countries – Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Poland, on municipal... -
ISSEC: inferring contacts among protein secondary structure elements using de...
Abstract Background The formation of contacts among protein secondary structure elements (SSEs) is an important step in protein folding as it determines topology of protein...
