Accurate scatter correction is essential to obtain highquality reconstructions in computed tomography. While many correction strategies for this longstanding issue have been developed, additional efforts may be required for spectral CT imaging - which is particularly sensitive to unmodeled biases. In this work we explore a joint estimation approach within a one-step model-based material decomposition framework to simultaneously estimate material densities and scatter profiles in spectral CT. The method is applied to simulated phantom data obtained using a parametric additive scatter mode, and compared to the unmodeled scatter scenario. In these preliminary experiments, We find that this joint estimation approach has the potential to significantly reduce artifacts associated with unmodeled scatter and to improve material density estimates.

Purpose: With the widespread introduction of dual energy computed tomography (DECT), applications utilizing the spectral information to perform material decomposition became available. Among these, a popular application is to decompose contrast-enhanced CT images into virtual non-contrast (VNC) or virtual non-iodine images and into iodine maps. In 2021, photon-counting CT (PCCT) was introduced, which is another spectral CT modality.

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid-state polymer electrolyte (SPE) is a promising candidate for the next generation of safer lithium-metal batteries. However, the serious side reaction between PEO and lithium metal and the uneven deposition of lithium ions lead to the growth of lithium dendrites and the rapid decline of battery cycle life. Building a LiF-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer is considered to be an effective means to solve the above problems.

A novel Ru-FeO nanozyme with enhanced peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity was synthesized through a hydrothermal method. Ru-FeO nanozyme was effectively utilized for the detection of thiophanate-methyl (TM) using a colorimetric technique. The POD-like activity of Ru-FeO was found to be superior compared to FeO, Rh-FeO, and Pd-FeO.

The discovery of novel materials is crucial for developing new functional materials. This study introduces a predictive model designed to forecast complex multi-component oxide compositions, leveraging data derived from simpler pseudo-binary systems. By applying tensor decomposition and machine learning techniques, we transformed pseudo-binary oxide compositions from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) into tensor representations, capturing key chemical trends such as oxidation states and periodic positions.

Background: The detection of abnormal brain activity plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Recent studies have shown that the decomposition of the electroencephalography (EEG) spectrum into periodic and aperiodic components is useful for identifying the drivers of electrophysiologic abnormalities and avoiding individual differences.
Methods: This study aimed to elucidate the pathologic changes in individualized periodic and aperiodic activities and their relationships with the symptoms of MDD.
