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... -

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... -
