Avoided crossings are the most distinctive atomic spectroscopic features in the presence of magnetic and electric fields. We point out the role of Shannon's information entropy as an indicator or predictor of these phenomena by studying the dynamics of some excited states of hydrogen in the presence of parallel magnetic and electric fields. Moreover, in addition to the well-known energy level repulsion, it is found that Shannon's entropy manifests the informational exchange of the involved states as the magnetic field strength is varied across the narrow region where an avoided crossing occurs.

CNN is considered an efficient tool in brain image segmentation. However, neonatal brain images require specific methods due to their nature and structural differences from adult brain images. Hence, it is necessary to determine the optimal structure and parameters for these models to achieve the desired results.

Objectives: Trunk control involves multiple brain regions related to motor control systems. Therefore, patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders frequently exhibit impaired trunk control, decreasing their activities of daily living (ADL). Although some therapeutic interventions for trunk impairments have been effective, their general effects on CNS disorders remain unclear.

Age-related dependencies of electric and spectral powers in conventional frequency bands were studied by the newly proposed method of detailed spectral analysis. The magnetic encephalograms (MEG) and magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the head were obtained from the open archive Cam-CAN. The spatial distributions of elementary spectral components (MEG-based functional tomograms) were reconstructed from MEG for 501 subjects (248 males and 253 females, ages 18-88 years, mean age 54.

The field of medical image segmentation powered by deep learning has recently received substantial attention, with a significant focus on developing novel architectures and designing effective loss functions. Traditional loss functions, such as Dice loss and Cross-Entropy loss, predominantly rely on global metrics to compare predictions with labels. However, these global measures often struggle to address challenges such as occlusion and nonuni-form intensity.

This paper introduces an analytical method for studying power transmission through an infinite array of helical-shaped metal particles in a lossy dielectric medium. While the assessment of composite slabs' transmitted power has been extensively researched in the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding field, many studies lack an adequate problem description. The primary inadequacy of these studies is the need for an analytical framework.
