Our analytical description of full-field brightness perception data [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A35, B19 (2018)JOAOD60740-323210.1364/JOSAA.35.000B19] with contributions from cone luminance and melanopsin expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells has been extended [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A35, 1780 (2018)JOAOD60740-323210.1364/JOSAA.35.001780] to include S-cones through a blue-yellow opponent channel. We welcome this reanalysis and provide a few remarks on the approach.

Introduction: After a pandemic outbreak, designing and implementing an effective vaccine supply chain is key. The last-mile vaccine delivery (LMVD) - the last stage of the vaccine supply chain - is of particular importance. LMVD design choices, such as the delivery mode (e.

Anonymization of job applicant resumes is a recommended strategy to increase diversity in organizations, but large-scale tests have shown mixed results. We consider decision-makers' social dominance orientation (SDO), a measure of anti-egalitarianism/endorsement of group-based hierarchy, to illustrate the limits of anonymization. Across four pre-registered studies ( = 3,150), we show that (a) lower SDO individuals are less likely to hire individuals from underrepresented groups when job materials are anonymized and (b) they are more likely to opt into using anonymization.

We aimed to determine if gains in adverse event (AE) identification and reduced follow-up visits could be maintained when 2wT was implemented in routine VMMC settings. A pragmatic, stepped wedge design (SWD) study was implemented across three districts in South Africa.

Development of new scintillator materials is a continuous effort, which recently has been focused on materials with higher stopping power. Higher stopping power can be achieved if the compositions include elements such as Tl (Z=81) or Lu (Z=71), as the compounds gain higher densities and effective atomic numbers. In context of medical imaging this translates into high detection efficiency (count rates), therefore, better image quality (statistics, thinner films) or lower irradiation doses to patients in addition to lowering of cost.

Magnetic resonance images are often acquired as several 2D slices and stacked into a 3D volume, yielding a lower through-plane resolution than in-plane resolution. Many super-resolution (SR) methods have been proposed to address this, including those that use the inherent high-resolution (HR) in-plane signal as HR data to train deep neural networks. Techniques with this approach are generally both self-supervised and internally trained, so no external training data is required.
