Many scanning probe microscopes such as the scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope use piezoelectric actuators operating in open loop for generating the scans of the surfaces. However, nonlinearities mainly caused by hysteresis and drift of piezoelectric actuators reduce the positioning accuracy and produce distorted images. A moving window correlation method is proposed in this paper to determine and quantify the hysteresis. This method requires both trace and retrace profiles to be recorded. With a window imposed on each of the profiles, correlations are implemented between the data inside two windows to find corresponding pixel pairs on two different profiles but the same physical positions along the fast scanning axis (x). The x-distances between pixel pairs are calculated and then a simple correction scheme is applied to reduce the distortion.

Intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral blood flow and volume are affected by craniospinal elasticity and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, interacting in complex, nonlinear ways. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may significantly alter this relationship. This retrospective study investigated the relationship between the vascular and parenchymal intracranial compartments by analysing two amplitudes: cerebral blood flow velocity (AmpCBFV) and ICP (AMP) during hypocapnia manoeuvre in TBI patients.

The extent and robustness of the interaction between exposures to heat and ambient PM is unclear and little is known of the interaction between exposures to cold and ambient PM. Clarifying these interactions, if any, is crucial due to the omnipresence of PM in the atmosphere and increasing scope and frequency of extreme temperature events. To investigate both of these interactions, we merged 6 073 575 individual-level mortality records from thirteen states spanning seventeen years with 1 km daily PM predictions from sophisticated prediction model and 1 km meteorology from Daymet V4.

Motion blur is a common problem in the field of surveillance scenarios, and it obstructs the acquisition of valuable information. Thanks to the success of deep learning, a sequence of CNN-based architecture has been designed for image deblurring and has made great progress. As another type of neural network, transformers have exhibited powerful deep representation learning and impressive performance based on high-level vision tasks.

In this paper, the influence of the vibration of the lithography stage system on the lithography imaging quality is studied. The lithography model including the vibration error of the stage is taken into account in the framework of source and mask optimization (SMO).

Segmentation process is very popular in Speech recognition, word count, speaker indexing and speaker diarization process. This paper describes the speaker segmentation system which detects the speaker change point in an audio recording of multi speakers with the help of feature extraction and proposed distance metric algorithms. In this new approach, pre-processing of audio stream includes noise reduction, speech compression by using discrete wavelet transform (Daubechies wavelet 'db40' at level 2) and framing.
