Objective: The research sought to determine (1) how use of the PubMed free full-text (FFT) limit affects citation retrieval and (2) how use of the FFT limit impacts the types of articles and levels of evidence retrieved.
Methods: Four clinical questions based on a research agenda for physical therapy were searched in PubMed both with and without the use of the FFT limit. Retrieved citations were examined for relevancy to each question. Abstracts of relevant citations were reviewed to determine the types of articles and levels of evidence. Descriptive analysis was used to compare the total number of citations, number of relevant citations, types of articles, and levels of evidence both with and without the use of the FFT limit.
Results: Across all 4 questions, the FFT limit reduced the number of citations to 11.1% of the total number of citations retrieved without the FFT limit. Additionally, high-quality evidence such as systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials were missed when the FFT limit was used.
Conclusions: Health sciences librarians play a key role in educating users about the potential impact the FFT limit has on the number of citations, types of articles, and levels of evidence retrieved.

This paper proposes an improved algorithm based on the phase extraction of the Moiré fringe for wafer-mask alignment in nanoimprint lithography. The algorithm combines the strengths of the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2D-FFT) and two-dimensional window Fourier filtering (2D-WFF) to quickly and accurately extract the fundamental frequencies of interest, eliminate noise in the fundamental frequency band by using the threshold of the local spectrum, and effectively suppress spectral leakage by using a Gaussian window with outstanding sidelobe characteristics while overcoming their limitations, such as avoiding the time-consuming parameter adjustment. The phase extraction accuracy determines the misalignment measurement accuracy, and the alignment accuracy is enhanced to the nanometer level, which is 15.

Herein, we unveil a remarkable finding for synthesizing room-temperature-stable, nontoxic, ultrasmall free-standing diamond cubic tin nanocrystals (α-Sn) with beta forms in the aqueous phase, avoiding conventional approaches that typically use toxic elements or large reactive substrates (Si/InSb) to stabilize α-Sn above 13 °C. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate the successful synthesis of free-standing alpha tin with extraordinary stability up to 80 °C and in the aqueous phase at room temperature, which was supported by powder X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization methods. This synthetic approach eliminates the need to use hazardous materials, bulky substrates, and elevated temperatures, offering a safer, low-cost, and more sustainable alternative.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel, to the best of our knowledge, frequency offset estimation (FOE) scheme is proposed and demonstrated for coherent digital subcarrier multiplexing (DSCM) systems, where frequency offset (FO) leads to severe filtering damage of subcarriers due to bandwidth limitations. The scheme exploits the symmetry of the signal spectrum, which naturally arises from the transmitter's frequency response and introduces frequency skewness as a cost function to search for FO. To achieve fast FOE, the false position (FP) method is employed to iteratively compute frequency shifts.

Article Synopsis
- - Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive imaging technique for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD) and is increasingly complemented by AI technology, enhancing its accuracy and efficiency in comparison to traditional methods.
- - AI-driven CCTA (AI-CCTA) drastically reduces radiation exposure while maintaining high-quality imaging and achieving similar accuracy to expert human analysis, making it a safer option for patients.
- - Despite its advancements, AI-CCTA still faces challenges such as being in the early stages of development, requiring further AI model improvements, and needing more validation studies before it can be widely implemented in clinical practice.
Optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR) is pivotal in structural health monitoring. However, real-time sensing remains challenging owing to the demodulation speed limitations imposed by hardware constraints and intricate processes. To address this, we propose an FPGA-based high-speed demodulation algorithm employing a 2D FFT and frequency-domain cross-correlation algorithm.
