This paper presents a noise-stochastic corrected maximum estimator for birefringence imaging using Jones matrix optical coherence tomography. The estimator described in this paper is based on the relationship between probability distribution functions of the measured birefringence and the effective signal to noise ratio (ESNR) as well as the true birefringence and the true ESNR. The Monte Carlo method is used to numerically describe this relationship and adaptive 2D kernel density estimation provides the likelihood for estimation of the true birefringence. Improved estimation is shown for the new estimator with stochastic model of ESNR in comparison to the old estimator, both based on the Jones matrix noise model. A comparison with the mean estimator is also done. Numerical simulation validates the superiority of the new estimator. The superior performance of the new estimator was also shown by measurement of optic nerve head.

Radionuclides, including I, were released into the atmosphere by the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. We measured the dissolved I concentration in 11 rivers in eastern Fukushima from 2016 to 2020 to clarify the I concentration level in river water under base-flow conditions. During the study period, the maximum I concentration in the river water was 1.

Purpose: This study aimed to comprehensively assess visual performance in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM). Additionally, it sought to explore the associations between optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging biomarkers and visual performance in patients with iERM.
Methods: In this prospective, non-interventional study, 57 participants with treatment-naïve iERM from the University of Turin, between September 2023 and March 2024 were enrolled.

The question we addressed in the current study is whether the mere prospect of monetary reward gain affects subjective time perception. To test this question, we collected trial-based confidence reports in a task where participants made categorical decisions about probe durations relative to the reference duration. When there was a potential to gain a monetary reward, the duration was perceived to be longer than in the neutral condition.

Background And Purpose: A novel ring-gantry cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging system shows improved image quality compared to its conventional version, but its effect on autosegmentation is unknown. This study evaluates the impact of this high-performance CBCT on autosegmentation performance, inter-observer variability, contour correction times and delineation confidence, compared to the conventional CBCT.

Two-sample capture-recapture studies are commonly used in the epidemiological and ecological literature. Most of these studies have been limited to analysis using the Lincoln-Petersen estimator, especially in epidemiological studies. We examine the use of the Lincoln-Petersen estimator and two alternative closed-population methods: Huggins' conditional likelihood method and Pledger's likelihood method with mixtures.
