Methods: A two-stage sampling method was used to conduct a multicenter cross-sectional survey.

Single-pixel imaging robust to arbitrary translational motion.

Single-pixel imaging (SPI) stands out in computational imaging for its simplicity and adaptability, yet its performance has been hampered by artifacts from translational motion. Existing solutions heavily rely on accurate motion modeling, requiring additional hardware and computational costs. In this Letter, we propose translational motion-agnostic SPI (TMA-SPI), a novel, to the best of our knowledge, single-object SPI framework agnostic to arbitrary translational motion.

Wedge angle and orientation recognition of multi-opening objects using an attention-based CNN model.

In industries such as manufacturing and safety monitoring, accurately identifying the shape characteristics of multi-opening objects is essential for the assembly, maintenance, and fault diagnosis of machinery components. Compared to traditional contact sensing methods, image-based feature recognition technology offers non-destructive assessment and greater efficiency, holding significant practical value in these fields. Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved remarkable success in image classification and feature recognition tasks, they still face challenges in dealing with subtle features in complex backgrounds, especially for objects with similar openings, where minute angle differences are critical.

Colorimetric Thermography by a Long-Infrared Dual-Band Metalens.

Infrared (IR) radiation thermography is extensively utilized in diverse fields due to its non-contact capability. Nevertheless, its effectiveness is often compromised by the significant emissivity variations among different objects, limiting its application to specific setups or focused object types. Colorimetric thermography is introduced as an alternative emissivity-independent method of radiation thermometry.

Geniposide attenuates influenza virus-induced pneumonia by regulating inflammatory cytokines production. Evidences to elucidate the followed pathway.

Background: Influenza virus-induced pneumonia (IVP) is an infectious pulmonary disease characterized by exacerbated pulmonary inflammation caused by invasion of the influenza virus. IVP continues to threaten public health due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Geniposide is one of the major bioactive constituents of G.

Metalenses phase characterization by multi-distance phase retrieval.

Metalens, characterized by their unique functions and distinctive physical properties, have gained significant attention for their potential applications. To further optimize the performance of metalens, it is necessary to characterize the phase modulation of the metalens. In this study, we present a multi-distance phase retrieval system based on optical field scanning and discuss its convergence and robustness.

Shufeng Jiedu capsule alleviates influenza A (H1N1) virus induced acute lung injury by regulating the lung inflammatory microenvironment.

Background: Death caused by respiratory tract infection is one of the leading causes of death in the world today. Shufeng Jiedu Capsule (SFJDC) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been widely used clinically for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), H1N1 influenza virus pneumonia and other diseases. Its pharmacological effect is to inhibit inflammation and improve the body's ability to clear viruses.

Prior-free 3D tracking of a fast-moving object at 6667 frames per second with single-pixel detectors.

Real-time tracking and 3D trajectory computation of fast-moving objects is a promising technology, especially in the field of autonomous driving. However, existing image-based tracking methods face significant challenges when it comes to real-time tracking, primarily due to the limitation of storage space and computational resources. Here, we propose a novel approach that enables real-time 3D tracking of a fast-moving object without any prior motion information and at a very low computational cost.

Automated Analysis of Fluency Behaviors in Aphasia.

Purpose: This study explored the use of an automated language analysis tool, FLUCALC, for measuring fluency in aphasia. The purpose was to determine whether CLAN's FLUCALC command could produce efficient, objective outcome measures for salient aspects of fluency in aphasia.

Method: The FLUCALC command was used on CHAT transcripts of Cinderella stories from people with aphasia (PWA; = 281) and controls ( = 257) in the AphasiaBank database.

Wintersweet-like Nanohybrids of Titanium-doped Cerium Vanadate Loaded with Polypyrrole for Tumor Theranostic.

Compromises between enhanced on-targeting reactivity and precise real-time monitoring in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are the main roadblocks for catalytic cancer therapy. The hallmark of a high level of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and acidic extracellular environment of the hypoxia solid tumor can underpin therapeutic and tracking performance. Herein, this work provides an activatable wintersweet-like nanohybrid consisting of titanium (Ti) doped cerium vanadate nanorods with the modification of polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles (CeVO-Ti@PPy) for combinatorial therapies of breast carcinoma.

Error-compensation network for ringing artifact reduction in holographic displays.

Recent advances in learning-based computer-generated holography (CGH) have unlocked novel possibilities for crafting phase-only holograms. However, existing approaches primarily focus on the learning ability of network modules, often neglecting the impact of diffraction propagation models. The resulting ringing artifacts, emanating from the Gibbs phenomenon in the propagation model, can degrade the quality of reconstructed holographic images.

Joint photographic experts group (JPEG) compression standard is widely adopted for digital images. However, as JPEG encoding is not designed for holograms, applying it typically leads to severe distortions in holographic projections. In this work, we overcome this problem by taking into account the influence of JPEG compression on hologram generation in an end-to-end fashion.
