TOWARD A ROADMAP FOR SPACE-BASED OBSERVATIONS OF THE LAND SECTOR FOR THE UNFCCC GLOBAL STOCKTAKE


Image reconstruction of multispectral sparse sampling photoacoustic tomography based on deep algorithm unrolling

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT), as a novel medical imaging technology, provides structural, functional, and metabolism information of biological tissue in vivo.Sparse Sampling PAT, or SS-PAT, generates images with a smaller number of detectors, yet its image reconstruction is inherently ill-posed.Model-based methods are the state-of-the-art method

Assessing Deception in Questionnaire Surveys With Eye-Tracking

Deceit often occurs in questionnaire surveys, which leads to the misreporting of data and poor reliability.The purpose of this study is to explore whether eye-tracking could contribute to the detection of deception in questionnaire surveys, and whether the eye behaviors that appeared in instructed lying still exist in spontaneous lying.Two studies

The Benefits and Risks of Adherence to Medical Therapy

Noncompliance or nonadherence to prescribed medication is common.Reasons given by patients for not taking medications as prescribed include cost, adverse effects, or perceived lack of effectiveness, all of which are important factors in shared decision-making between health care providers and patients.It has been assumed that better compliance with

Photoacoustic Signal Enhancement: Towards Utilization of Low Energy Laser Diodes in Real-Time Photoacoustic Imaging

In practice, photoacoustic (PA) waves generated with cost-effective and low-energy laser diodes, are weak and almost buried in noise.Reconstruction of an artifact-free PA image from noisy measurements requires an effective denoising technique.Averaging is widely used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of PA signals; however, it is time con
