The transformation regulation of the radial finite Airy–Gaussian beam array (FAiGBA) in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis has been explored analytically and numerically under the paraxial approximation. The analytical evolution solution of this beam array in the x- and y-directions has been derived, respectively. The intensity distribution and side view of FAiGBA propagating in three types of uniaxial crystals have been demonstrated in several instances. Furthermore, particular attention has been devoted to the linear effect when this beam array transmits through the electro-optic crystal. The influence of non-paraxial longitudinal component and temperature on FAiGBA evolution characteristics has also been examined to verify the validity of the paraxial mechanism of this beam array propagating in uniaxial crystals. It is anticipated that these research findings will contribute to the advancement of FAiGBA applications in micro- and nano-control, optical fiber communication, optical trapping, and manipulation fields.
在准轴向近似条件下，对与光轴正交的单轴晶体中径向有限空气高斯光束阵列（FAiGBA）的变换规律进行了分析和数值探索。分别得出了该光束阵列在 x 和 y 方向上的分析演化解。在三种单轴晶体中传播的 FAiGBA 的强度分布和侧视图已在多个实例中得到证明。此外，还特别关注了该光束阵列通过电光晶体时的线性效应。还研究了非同轴纵向分量和温度对 FAiGBA 演变特性的影响，以验证这种光束阵列在单轴晶体中传播的同轴机制的有效性。预计这些研究成果将有助于推动 FAiGBA 在微米和纳米控制、光纤通信、光学捕获和操纵领域的应用。

Depression is a prevalent mental health problem across the globe, presenting significant social and economic challenges. Early detection and treatment are pivotal in reducing these impacts and improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods largely rely on subjective assessments by psychiatrists, underscoring the importance of developing automated and objective diagnostic tools. This paper presents IntervoxNet, a novel computeraided detection system designed specifically for analyzing interview audio. IntervoxNet incorporates a dual-modal approach, utilizing both the Audio Mel-Spectrogram Transformer (AMST) for audio processing and a hybrid model combining Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers with a Convolutional Neural Network (BERT-CNN) for text analysis. Evaluated on the DAIC-WOZ database, IntervoxNet demonstrates excellent performance, achieving F1 score, recall, precision, and accuracy of 0.90, 0.92, 0.88, and 0.86 respectively, thereby surpassing existing state of the art methods. These results demonstrate IntervoxNet’s potential as a highly effective and efficient tool for rapid depression screening in interview settings.

Coincidence loss can have detrimental effects on the image quality provided by pixelated counting detectors, especially in dose-sensitive applications like cryoEM where the information extracted from the recorded signal needs to be maximized. In this work, we investigate the impact of coincidence loss phenomena on the recorded statistics in counting detectors producing sparse binary images. First, we derive exact analytical expressions for the mean and the variance of the recorded counts as a function of the incoming event rate. Second, we address the problem of the mean and variance of the recorded events (i.e., pixel clusters identified as individual incoming events), which also acts as a function of the incoming event rate. In this frame, we review previous studies from different disciplines on approximated two-dimensional models, and we critically reinterpret them in our context and evaluate the suitability of their adoption in the present case. The knowledge of the first two momenta of the recorded statistics allows inferring about the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the detective quantum efficiency at zero frequency (DQE0). Analytical results are validated through comparison with numerical data obtained with a custom-made Monte Carlo code. We chose a realistic case study for cryoEM application consisting of a 25-µm-thick MAPS detector featuring a pixel size of 10 µm and illuminated with electrons of 300 keV energy over a wide range of incoming rate.

Electromagnetic polarizabilities are fundamental properties of the proton that characterize its response to an external electromagnetic (EM) field. The generalization of the EM polarizabilities to non-zero four-momentum transfer opens up a powerful path to study the internal structure of the proton. They map out the spatial distribution of the polarization densities in the proton, provide access to key dynamical mechanisms that contribute to the electric and magnetic polarizability effects, and allow for the determination of fundamental characteristics of the system, such as the electric and magnetic polarizability radii. This article reviews our knowledge about proton EM generalized polarizabilities (GPs). An introduction is given to the basic concepts and the theoretical framework, which is then followed by a discussion that emphasizes the recent developments and findings of the virtual Compton scattering (VCS) experiments and future perspectives on the topic.

Thermal action is a crucial process in laser processing. The classical Fourier heat conduction theory, which assumes an infinite speed of heat propagation, is commonly applied to describe steady-state and mild transient thermal processes. However, under the influence of ultra-short pulse lasers, such as those with picosecond and femtosecond durations, the heat propagation speed within the material is finite and deviates from Fourier’s law. This article addresses the unique characteristics of heat conduction in materials subjected to ultra-short pulse laser exposure by integrating Fourier’s law with the Gaussian distribution of the actual pulse laser output power density and the material’s optical absorption properties. It introduces a time variable to establish a time-dependent heat conduction equation. This equation is numerically analyzed using a difference algorithm. Based on this, simulation and experimental studies on the processing of dental hard tissues with a 1064 nm ps laser were conducted. The results show that the experimental processing depths were slightly larger than the simulation results, which may be due to damage to the dental hard tissues and the thermomechanical effects during processing. The results offer a technical reference for adjusting laser parameters in the ultra-short pulse laser processing technique.

In this manuscript, we derive and examine the analytical solution for the solid tumor invasion model of fractional order. The main aim of this work is to formulate a solid tumor invasion model using the Caputo fractional operator. Here, the model involves a system of four equations, which are solved using an approximate analytical method. We used the fixed-point theorem to describe the uniqueness and existence of the model’s system of solutions and graphs to explain the results we achieved using this approach. The technique used in this manuscript is more efficient for studying the behavior of this model, and the results are accurate and converge swiftly. The current study reveals that the investigated model is time-dependent, which can be explored using the fractional-order calculus concept.

Evaluating the computational complexity is critical for assessing the time-domain anti-jamming performance of GNSS receivers. The multiplier is the core component that contributes to the computational complexity in time-domain anti-jamming. However, current algorithms aimed at reducing the complexity of time-domain anti-jamming typically concentrate on shortening the filter length, which fails to address the high computational complexity introduced by the use of multipliers. This paper introduces a cascaded multiplier-free approach for implementing time-domain anti-jamming in navigation receivers. We propose a numerical power decomposition technique based on optimal Canonical Signed Digit coding and coefficient decomposition. By substituting the multiplier with minimal adder and shift operations, the computational complexity of the anti-jamming filter with a high quantization bit-width can be considerably decreased. An optimization strategy is presented, and the low-complexity multiplier-free technique is applied to the time-domain anti-jamming filter. Compared to the traditional Canonical Signed Digit multiplier-free technique, our method can reduce the components required for a 12-bit quantization anti-interference filter by one adder, 20 shift operations, and five coded word lengths, while maintaining a pseudo-range measurement deviation below 0.27 ns.
评估计算复杂度对于评估全球导航卫星系统接收器的时域抗干扰性能至关重要。乘法器是造成时域抗干扰计算复杂性的核心部件。然而，目前旨在降低时域抗干扰复杂度的算法通常集中在缩短滤波器长度上，无法解决使用乘法器带来的高计算复杂度问题。本文介绍了一种在导航接收机中实现时域抗干扰的级联无乘法器方法。我们提出了一种基于最佳 Canonical Signed Digit 编码和系数分解的数值功率分解技术。通过用最小的加法器和移位操作代替乘法器，可以大大降低高量化位宽的抗干扰滤波器的计算复杂度。本文提出了一种优化策略，并将低复杂度无乘法器技术应用于时域抗干扰滤波器。与传统的 Canonical Signed Digit 免乘法器技术相比，我们的方法可以将 12 位量化抗干扰滤波器所需的元件减少一个加法器、20 次移位运算和 5 个编码字长，同时将伪量程测量偏差保持在 0.27 ns 以下。

The outbreak of an epidemic often stimulates the generation of public awareness about epidemic prevention. This heightened awareness encourages individuals to take proactive protective measures, thereby curbing the transmission of the epidemic. Previous research commonly adopts an assumption that each individual has the same probability of awakening self-protection awareness after infection. However, in the real-world process, different individuals may generate varying awareness responses due to the differences in the amount of information received. Therefore, in this study, we first propose a coupled awareness-epidemic spreading model, where the self-initiated awareness of each individual can be influenced by the number of aware neighbors. Subsequently, we develop a Micro Markov Chain Approach to analyze the proposed model and explore the effects of different dynamic and structural parameters on the coupled dynamics. Findings indicate that individual awareness awakening can effectively promote awareness diffusion within the proposed coupled dynamics and inhibit epidemic transmission. Moreover, the influence of awareness diffusion on epidemic transmission exhibits a metacritical point, from which the epidemic threshold increases with the increase in the awareness diffusion probability. The research findings also suggest that the increase in the average degree of virtual-contact networks can reduce the value of the metacritical point, while the change in the average degree of the physical-contact networks does not affect the metacritical point. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on four real networks and obtain results consistent with the above conclusions. The systematic research findings of this study provide new insights for exploring the interaction between individual awareness and epidemic transmission in the real world.

Origami structures with morphing behaviours and unique mechanical properties are useful in aerospace deployable structures, soft robots and mechanical metamaterials. Curved-crease origami, as one of the variants in the origami family, has a curve that connects two vertices as a crease compared to the straight crease counterpart. This feature couples the crease folding and facet bending during the folding process, providing versatile design space of mechanical metamaterials with tunable stiffness, multi-stability properties and morphing behaviours. However, current design techniques are mostly for simple geometries with intuitive construction, the modelling technique focuses on using the conventional finite element method, and the intrinsically complex geometries make specimens difficult to manufacture, which further hinders the development of curved-crease origami structures. Thus, it is valuable to review the state-of-the-art in curved-crease origami. This paper presents a review on the design methodology, analytical methods, and applications of curved-crease origami over the years, discusses their strengths, identifies future challenges and provides an outlook for the future development of the curved-crease origami concept.

Ultrasound imaging has a history of several decades. With its non-invasive, low-cost advantages, this technology has been widely used in medicine and there have been many significant breakthroughs in ultrasound imaging. Even so, there are still some drawbacks. Therefore, some novel image reconstruction and image analysis algorithms have been proposed to solve these problems. Although these new solutions have some effects, many of them introduce some other side effects, such as high computational complexity in beamforming. At the same time, the usage requirements of medical ultrasound equipment are relatively high, and it is not very user-friendly for inexperienced beginners. As artificial intelligence technology advances, some researchers have initiated efforts to deploy deep learning to address challenges in ultrasound imaging, such as reducing computational complexity in adaptive beamforming and aiding novices in image acquisition. In this survey, we are about to explore the application of deep learning in medical ultrasound imaging, spanning from image reconstruction to clinical diagnosis.

With its non-invasive, low-cost advantages, this technology has been widely used in medicine and there have been many significant breakthroughs in ultrasound imaging. Even so, there are still some drawbacks. Therefore, some novel image reconstruction and image analysis algorithms have been proposed to solve these problems. Although these new solutions have some effects, many of them introduce some other side effects, such as high computational complexity in beamforming. At the same time, the usage requirements of medical ultrasound equipment are relatively high, and it is not very user-friendly for inexperienced beginners.
