The anisotropic mechanical properties of fiber-embedded biological tissues are essential for understanding their development, aging, disease progression, and response to therapy. However, accurate and fast assessment of mechanical anisotropy in vivo using elastography remains challenging. To address the dilemma of achieving both accuracy and efficiency in this inverse problem involving complex wave equations, we propose a computational framework that utilizes the traveling wave expansion model.

Inverse design with topology optimization considers a promising methodology for discovering new optimized photonic structure that enables to break the limitations of the forward or the traditional design especially for the meta-structure. This work presents a high efficiency mid infra-red imaging photonics element along mid infra-red wavelengths band starts from 2 to 5 µm based on silicon nitride optimized material structures. The first two designs are broadband focusing and reflective meta-lens under very high numerical aperture condition (NA = 0.

Background And Aims: LGBTQIA2S + populations are believed to be at higher risk of problem gambling due to their elevated rates of mental disorders and substance abuse compared to heterosexual and cisgender populations. However, little is known about these populations regarding their gambling practices in the Canadian context.

Methods: We conducted an online survey among Canadian residents 18 years or older who self-identify as sexually and gender-diverse (i.
