Abstract Photonic and phononic topological insulators (TIs) offer numerous opportunities for manipulating light sound with high efficiency resiliency. On the other hand, inverse design methodologies, such as gradient-based approaches, evolutionary deep-learning methods, provide a cost-effective strategy developing photonic structures unique features in steering sound. Here, we discuss recent ad...

Topological insulators (TIs) have attracted immense attention during the past few years due to the fact that they are insulators in the bulk, but manifest conducting helical states at their boundaries [1]. In contrast to the quantum Hall state, these boundary states originate from strong spin-orbit coupling without any external magnetic field, such that time reversal symmetry is conserved and a...

The computational identification of translation initiation sites (TIS) is a major component of every gene prediction system, and is thus of major importance in genome annotation projects. A large number of machine learning methods have been described to identify TIS in transcripts such as mRNA, EST and cDNA sequences. In this regard, most of the prediction methods have focused on recognizing TI...

Assessment of the severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) is necessary to evaluate the disease process. This study evaluates and validates the TIS in children with AD presenting in general practice. Independent investigators determined the severity of AD using the TIS and the objective SCORAD. The interobserver agreement for the TIS and SCORAD was calculated, as was the correlation between TIS and S...

This paper addresses interactions between technological innovation systems (TIS) and wider “context structures”. While TIS studies have always considered various kinds of contextual influences, we suggest that the TIS framework can be further strengthened by a more elaborated conceptualization of TIS context structures and TIS–context interactions. For that purpose, we identify and discuss four...

Application of geometric transformation to images requires an interpolation step. When applied to image rotation, the presently most e cient GPU implementation for the cubic spline image interpolation still cost about 10 times as much as linear interpolation. This implementation involves two steps: a pre lter step performs a two-pass forward-backward recursive lter, then a cubic polynomial inte...

Abstract Emerging tactile sensing devices mimic biological functions of human mechanoreception. By introducing the feature optical transparency, it can lead to a combined capacities and visual intelligence into single system. Yet, is difficult realize ultrahigh level transparency device sensitivity in structure, for widely used methods improvement, such as elevating interfacial roughness, may f...

Background: Medical image interpolation is recently introduced as a helpful tool to obtain further information via initial available images taken by tomography systems. To do this, deformable image registration algorithms are mainly utilized to perform image interpolation using tomography images.Materials and Methods: In this work, 4DCT thoracic images of five real patients provided by DI...

PURPOSE To translate the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), a measure of trunk control in patients after stroke, into Norwegian (TIS-NV), and to explore its construct validity, internal consistency, intertester and test-retest reliability. METHOD TIS was translated according to international guidelines. The validity study was performed on data from 201 patients with acute stroke. Fifty patients wi...
