Article Abstract

In this paper we present a simple approach to obtain extended depth of field for any optical imaging system just by adding a birefringent plate between the lens and the detector. The width of the plate is properly designed such that one polarization state contains in-focus near field information while the other polarization state contains in-focus far field details. Both images are superimposed one on top of the other and thus an all-optical spatially sharp imaging is obtained containing both fields. The width of the plate is also designed such that there is a longitudinal overlapping of the two regions (the near and the far) such that continuously well focused imaging is generated. The presented approach for extending the depth of focus is significantly simple compared to the use of birefringent and bi-focal lenses published recently. Preliminary numerical as well as experimental results verify the proposed approach.

Dinitrogen Activation: A Novel Approach with P/B Intermolecular FLP.

J Phys Chem A

January 2025

School of Applied Science and Humanities, Haldia Institute of Technology, ICARE Complex, Haldia 721657, India.

This study explores the reactivity of a new intermolecular P/B frustrated Lewis pair in the context of dinitrogen activation through a push-pull mechanism. The ab initio molecular dynamics model known as atom-centered density matrix propagation plays a pivotal role in elucidating the weakly associated encounter complex. In-depth analysis, mainly through intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations, supports a single-step mechanism.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Syrian migrant women regarding breast and cervical cancer screenings in the Sultanbeyli district of Istanbul.

Methods: The women were recruited from Extended Migrant Health Centre, which is a primary health care institution in Istanbul. In August 2024, face-to-face interviews were conducted using an open-ended, semi-structured question form administered by a nurse experienced in qualitative research.

We employed high-resolution fMRI to distinguish the impacts of anisometropia and strabismus amblyopia on the evoked ocular dominance (OD) response. Sixteen amblyopic participants (8 females) plus 8 individuals with normal vision (1 female), participated in this study for whom, we measured the difference between the response to stimulation of the two eyes, across areas V1-V4.In controls, the evoked OD response formed the expected striped pattern within V1.

Developing teachers' competency for inclusive education in Ethiopia.

Afr J Disabil

December 2024

Centre of Excellence in Disabilities, Faculty of Education, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa.

Background: In light of the increasing diversity within school populations globally, a pressing need arises for nations to prioritise the enhancement of teachers' competencies in implementing inclusive education, recognising the central role teacher education programmes play in addressing this imperative. Teacher education programmes centred on inclusion not only respond to this global priority but also wield influence on teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy and stress levels when engaging with diverse learners.

Objectives: The study presents an analysis of the effectiveness of a teacher education programme in Ethiopia in developing teachers' competencies for inclusion.
