Mode-selective absorption is realized by designing the ridge waveguide structure on silicon-on-insulator combined with two metal titanium (Ti) strips located on the two waveguide edges.The TE1 mode can be much easier to permeate the waveguide edges by designing the waveguide structure carefully.Therefore, the overlap Cheese Slicers between the TE0
Perceptions as hypotheses: saccades as experiments
If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory, 1980); then visual searches might be construed as experiments that generate sensory data.In this work, we explore the idea that saccadic eye movements are optimal experiments, in which data are gathered to test hypotheses or beliefs about how those data are caused.This provides a plausible m
Thrips incidence prediction in organic banana crop with Machine learning
The organic banana is one of the most popular products worldwide and its popularity is mainly due to its excellent nutritional properties and tasty flavor.Peru is considered one of the major producers and exporters of this product, being the city of Piura the main region with most of the national agro-producers.It is also considered a key factor in
Defining value in cardiac surgery: A contemporary analysis of cost variation across the United StatesCentral MessagePerspective
Objective: Isolated coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve Fragrance replacement are common cardiac operations performed in the United States and serve as platforms for benchmarking.The present national study characterized hospital-level variation in costs and value for coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement.Methods:
Throughput Maximization in Delay-Critical and Energy-Aware SW-UAV-WNs Using Q-Learning
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are getting significant attention from both researchers and the industry due to their wide range of applications.Remote sensing is one such application, in which UAVs are deployed to sense remote areas and transmit the data to a ground station for processing.However, due to the mobility and limited transmission range
