Individual nanometer-sized plasmonic antennas are excited resonantly with few-cycle laser pulses in the near infrared. Intense third-harmonic emission of visible light prevails for fundamental photon energies below 1.1 eV. Interband luminescence and second harmonic generation occur solely at higher driving frequencies. We attribute these findings to multiphoton resonances with the d-band transitions of gold. The strong third-order signal allows direct measurement of a subcycle plasmon dephasing time of 2 fs, highlighting the efficient radiation coupling and broadband response of the devices.

Background: The prompt and accurate identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for preventing its progression into more severe neurodegenerative diseases. However, current diagnostic solutions, such as biomarkers and cognitive screening tests, prove costly, time-consuming, and invasive, hindering patient compliance and the accessibility of these tests. Therefore, exploring a more cost-effective, efficient, and noninvasive method to aid clinicians in detecting MCI is necessary.

The construction of transportation infrastructure lines alters the natural terrain, leading to uneven redistribution of snow under the influence of snow-drifting, which can compromise road safety. With the ongoing expansion of transportation networks in cold regions, transportation engineers are increasingly focusing on snow-drifting phenomena and the associated disasters. This study, based on a GIS platform, conducts a case study of a transport infrastructure project in Xinjiang to analyze the geographical and environmental conditions along the route.

Reservoir computing is a machine learning algorithm for processing time dependent data which is well suited for experimental implementation. Tuning the hyperparameters of the reservoir is a time-consuming task that limits is applicability. Here we present an experimental validation of a recently proposed optimisation technique in which the reservoir receives both the input signal and a delayed version of the input signal.

In recent years, exoskeleton robots have attracted great interest from researchers in the area of robotics due to their ability to assist human functionality improvement. A wearable lower limb exoskeleton is aimed at supporting the limb functionality rehabilitation process and to assist physical therapists. Development of a stable and robust control system for multi-joint rehabilitation robots is a challenging task due to their non-linear dynamic systems.

Using panel data for 284 Chinese cities, this study explores the nonlinear relationship between the digital economy and the synergistic governance efficiency of industrial pollution and CO emissions (SGEIPCE). The study also investigates the transmission mechanism of two-way knowledge flows within this relationship using the double fixed effect model and two-stage least square method. The results show that the digital economy has a significant U-shaped relationship on the SGEIPCE: the impact first decreases and then increases.
