Based on the expression function of diffraction efficiency, and the phase delay function of diffractive optical elements (DOEs), the diffraction efficiency for multilayer diffractive optical elements (MLDOEs) is described with tilt and decenter assembling errors. A mathematical model of the relationship between diffraction efficiency and assembling errors of MLDOEs is proposed to analyze the effect of assembling errors on the diffraction efficiency of MLDOEs. The analyzed results from the mathematical model provide a range of values for the effect of assembling errors on the diffraction efficiency of MLDOEs. Assembling errors are important parameters for hybrid diffractive refractive optical systems, including MLDOEs, and so the proposed model will be useful for guiding the design and fabrication of such optical systems.

Background: The management of incidental pulmonary nodules is guided by recommendations set forth by the Fleischner Society. While most pulmonary nodules are benign, timely and evidence-based follow-up can reduce morbidity and mortality. There are known socioeconomic disparities for engagement with recommended cancer screenings, however it is unclear whether disparities exist for follow-up of incidentally detected pulmonary lesions.

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are used to estimate potential energy surfaces (PES) from calculations, providing near-quantum-level accuracy with reduced computational costs. However, the high cost of assembling high-fidelity databases hampers the application of MLIPs to systems that require high chemical accuracy. Utilizing an equivariant graph neural network, we present an MLIP framework that trains on multifidelity databases simultaneously.

DNA repair systems are essential to maintain genome integrity and stability. Some obligate endosymbionts that experience long-term symbiosis with the insect hosts, however, have lost their key components for DNA repair. It is largely unexplored how the bacterial endosymbionts cope with the increased demand for mismatch repairs under heat stresses.

De novo assembly of transcriptomes from species without reference genome remains a common problem in functional genomics. While methods and algorithms for transcriptome assembly are continually being developed and published, the quality of de novo assemblies using short reads depends on the complexity of the transcriptome and is limited by several types of errors. One problem to overcome is the research gap regarding the best method to use in each study to obtain high-quality de novo assembly.

Background: The twelve item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) is a widely used measure of psychological wellbeing. Because there are seven different sets of response options across the twelve items, there is scope for transcription errors to occur when researchers assemble their study materials. The impact of such errors might be more important if they occur in the first set of response options than if they occur later in the questionnaire, once participants have become aware that options to the right of the GHQ-12 response sets always indicate worse wellbeing.
