In this extensive cohort, the use of β blockers was associated with reduced 1-year all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with CHF. This benefit was particularly pronounced in subgroups characterized by younger age, male gender,…

Free-space optical encoder for computer vision
First, we will discuss how the size and complexity of the FSO encoder can be dramatically reduced using emerging nanophotonic structures. For a long time, all the FSO encoders are implemented in discrete macroscopic optics (e.g., lens, mirror,…

Localized statistics decoding for quantum low-density parity-check codes
The decoding problem
In this paper, we focus on the Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) subclass of QLDPC codes. These codes are defined by constant weight Pauli-X and –Z operators called checks that generate the stabilizer group defining the code space….

Transient photodoping and phonon dynamics in bulk and monolayer MoS2 by time resolved Raman scattering
MoS2 Raman spectra: continuous vs pulsed laser excitation
Figure 1a shows the structure of the investigated systems: bulk MoS2, where no substrate effects are expected; 1 L MoS2/ITO, i.e. single-layer MoS2 on an indium tin oxide substrate, which…

Updated reference intervals for serum cystatin C and creatinine based on age and sex variations
Skeletal muscle is the primary source of Crea; therefore, owing to lower muscle mass and metabolism, elderly individuals produce less Crea, leading to lower serum Crea concentrations. However, most studies, including ours, show that serum Crea…

Large-vocabulary segmentation for medical images with text prompts
In this section, we first describe the two types of data collected to build SAT: multimodal domain knowledge (Section “Domain knowledge”) and medical segmentation data (Section “Segmentation dataset”). Based on them, we detail the…

A co-produced national study of suicide bereavement: from experience to evidence
This work was supported by the Health Service Executive’s National Office for Suicide Prevention, under the Grant Scheme for Collaborative Research Projects 2021 and 2022. We acknowledge the contributions of the wider research team: A. Grennan,…

Stability analysis and optimization of open pit mine slopes based on the improved Sarma method with nonhomogeneous hydraulic boundary conditions
Stability evaluation of original design slope angle
Based on the theory of improved Sarma method with nonhomogeneous hydraulic boundary conditions, the computer program “Slope Stability Evaluation Design System” was prepared, and the slope…
