Human photoplethysmogram (PPG) is one of the signals widely applied for health monitoring. Development of the new techniques made possible evolution of traditional contact PPG which was measured at red and near-infrared light (NIR) to the contactless, imaging PPG (iPPG) that can be recorded at various light wavelengths, including ambient visible light. However, despite the numerous advantages of iPPG its applications demonstrated so far are quite limited. The NIR PPG was previously found to be useful for various applications in the area of physiological and mental health monitoring by utilizing advanced methods of nonlinear time-series analysis applied on its reconstructed dynamics. The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate data-driven approach with time-delay-reconstructed attractor obtained from the iPPG. The results of this study demonstrated that the iPPG dynamics can be reconstructed with fine data resolution, and its time-delay-reconstructed trajectory is almost deterministic, though contains noise. The obtained results might be useful for further applied studies on the iPPG.

We demonstrate high-resolution single-pixel imaging (SPI) in the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges using an SPI framework that incorporates a novel, dedicated sampling scheme and a reconstruction algorithm optimized for the rapid imaging of highly sparse scenes at the native digital micromirror device (DMD) resolution of 1024 × 768. The reconstruction algorithm consists of two stages. In the first stage, the vector of SPI measurements is multiplied by the generalized inverse of the measurement matrix.

In this study, we propose a novel framework for time-series representation learning that integrates a learnable masking-augmentation strategy into a contrastive learning framework. Time-series data pose challenges due to their temporal dependencies and feature-extraction complexities. To address these challenges, we introduce a masking-based reconstruction approach within a contrastive learning context, aiming to enhance the model's ability to learn discriminative temporal features.

Austenitic stainless steels are used widely in many fields due to their good mechanical properties and high resistance to corrosion. This work focuses on the reconstruction of the passive film after scratching. The purpose of the study was to compare changes in the rate of passive layer reconstruction and to discuss the effect of both the type of material and its electrochemical treatment on the reconstruction of the passive layer for two types of stainless steel: 304 and 316.

Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have facilitated the high-resolution structural determination of macromolecular complexes in their native states, providing valuable insights into their dynamic behaviors. However, insufficient understanding or experience with the cryo-EM image processing parameters can result in the loss of biological meaning. In this paper, we investigate the dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2) inner core complex of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) and reconstruct the 3D maps using five different symmetry parameters.

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme responsible for the formation of melanin (a natural skin pigment with ultraviolet-protection properties). However, some people experience melanin overproduction, so new, safe, and biocompatible enzyme inhibitors are sought. New tripeptide tyrosinase inhibitors were developed using molecular modeling.
