The proposed polarized electron-ion collider (EIC) will allow for precision exploration of various novel aspects of QCD including low-x phenomena, the spin structure of the proton, and gluon saturation in heavy nuclei. As this project gains momentum, it is increasingly important for the QCD community to understand quantitatively the kinematic reach and expected sensitivities for various measure...

This issue’s invited Editorial is provided by Todd Pawlicki, AAPM Secretary and Chair of Task Group No. 281, Governance Assessment Communications Plan. This is an opinion article and as such does not necessarily reflect the views and position of the JACMP EIC leadership team nor those of the JACMP Board of Editors. It is being provided to inform the medical physics community of the work and sen...

A highly-integrated optical phase-locked loop with a phase/frequency detector and a single-sideband mixer (SSBM) has been proposed and demonstrated for the first time. A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) has been designed, fabricated and tested, together with an electronic IC (EIC). The PIC integrates a widely-tunable sampled-grating distributed-Bragg-reflector laser, an optical 90 degree hybri...

BACKGROUND Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) is an important marker of tumor-initiating cells. We aimed to investigate ALDH1 expression in benign breast disease and human breast cancer of different histologic stages. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining of ALDH1 was applied to 21 cases with benign breast diseases, 47 ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) cases, 62 cases diagnosed with invasive cance...

IT SEEMS FITTING to use my last column as editor in chief (EIC) to report on the results of our 2014 board meeting. One of my guiding touch points as EIC has always been my memory of the rst IEEE Software board meeting I attended, in 2007. Given the involvement of so many recognized names in the eld, I expected to nd a lot of ponti cating and some strong personalities to navigate around. What I...

Flying robots require a combination of accuracy and low latency in their state estimation in order to achieve stable and robust flight. However, due to the power and payload constraints of aerial platforms, state estimation algorithms must provide these qualities under the computational constraints of embedded hardware. Cameras and inertial measurement units (IMUs) satisfy these power and paylo...

The editorial board takes great pleasure in introducing the new Editor-in-Chief and Deputy of IEEE Journal Emerging Selected Topics Power Electronics (JESTPE).
