Digital fringe multiplication is a useful technique for obtaining fractional fringe orders in photoelasticity at regions with very feeble retardations. In this paper, the effectiveness of the existing fringe multiplication techniques is investigated theoretically and experimentally. A new approach for fringe multiplication, using background nullified fringes, is developed to overcome the prevailing issues. Three options for obtaining background nullified fringe patterns are explained. Further, quadrature transformation of these fringe patterns is carried out to fetch uniform modulation. Moreover, a simplified fringe multiplication method is worked out to obtain fractional fringes from the uniformly modulated fringe patterns. The proposed procedures have been demonstrated through simulated as well as experimental images. A parametric study is carried out to understand the influence of pixel resolution and bit depth of the images on fringe multiplication. A criterion is established for finding out the maximum possible fringe multiplication for a given initial pixel/fringe resolution. It is observed that, for higher levels of fringe multiplication, larger bit depth of the image in conjunction with sufficient fringe resolution would be essential. The same also holds for fringe multiplication at areas with stress concentrations.

Genomic epidemiology demonstrates spatially clustered, local transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in forest-going populations in southern Lao PDR.

While there has been significant progress in controlling falciparum malaria in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR), sporadic cases persist in southern provinces where the extent and patterns of transmission remain largely unknown. To assess parasite transmission in this area, 53 Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) positive cases detected through active test and treat campaigns from December 2017 to November 2018 were sequenced, targeting 204 highly polymorphic amplicons. Two R packages, MOIRE and Dcifer, were applied to assess the multiplicity of infections (MOI), effective MOI (eMOI), within-host parasite relatedness, and between-host parasite relatedness ([Formula: see text]).

Improved self-correction of nonlinearity error in 3-step phase-shifting profilometry.

Rev Sci Instrum

August 2024

School of Information and Control Engineering, Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao 266520, China.

The generic self-correction method for nonlinearity-induced phase error (GSCN) can effectively suppress nonlinear error. However, GSCN directly ignores the periodic error of the 2N multiplication frequency in the error analysis stage, which still leads to errors in the suppressed results. In this paper, we propose a new method named improved generic self-correction method for nonlinearity-induced phase error in three-step phase-shifting profilometry.

Single-shot fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is widely used in the field of dynamic optical 3D reconstruction because of its high accuracy and efficiency. However, the traditional single-shot FPP methods are not satisfactory in reconstructing complex scenes with noise and discontinuous objects. Therefore, this paper proposes a Deformable Convolution-Based HINet with Attention Connection (DCAHINet), which is a dual-stage hybrid network with a deformation extraction stage and depth mapping stage.

STEM nano-moiré can achieve high-precision deformation measurement in a large field of view. In scanning moiré fringe technology, the scanning line and magnification of the existing transmission electron microscope (TEM) cannot be changed continuously. The frequency of the crystal lattice is often difficult to match with the fixed frequency of the scanning line, resulting in mostly too dense fringes that cannot be directly observed; thus, the calculation error is relatively large.

A vicious cycle of health (in)equity: Migrant inclusion in light of COVID-19.

Health Policy Technol

June 2022

Newcastle Business School, University of Newcastle, 409 Hunter Street, Newcastle, NSW, Australia.

Objectives: Whilst mass vaccination is suggested as an important means to contain COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination policies across many countries have systematically excluded some groups of population, especially migrants. This study aims to document the impact of diversified vaccination strategies as a preventative and control measure for the health and safety of the wider population within a country.

Methods: We selected five countries that have experienced the changes in migrant inflows to the most extreme among OECD countries in 2020: The United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, and South Korea.
