In this paper we study the restoration of multicomponent images, and more particularly, the effects of taking into account the dependencies between the image components. The used method is an expectation-maximization algorithm, which applies iteratively a deconvolution and a denoising step. It exploits the Fourier transform’s economical noise representation for deconvolution, and the wavelet tr...

A novel magnetic fluorescent encoded nanoimmunoassay system for multicomponent detection and separation of the subtrace pathogenic DNA (hepatitis B virus surface gene, HBV; hepatitis A virus poly the protein gene, HAV) was established based on new type of magnetic fluorescent encoded nanoparticles and sandwich immunoassay principle. This method combines multifunctional nanoparticles, immunoassa...

BACKGROUND In patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, poor adherence to medication is associated with increased healthcare costs, decreased patient satisfaction, reduced quality of life and unfavorable treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of different interventions on medication adherence in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. DESIGN Systemat...

We first present multicomponent flow models derived from the kinetic theory of gases. We then investigate the symmetric hyperbolic-parabolic structure of the resulting system of partial differential equations and discuss the Cauchy problem for smooth solutions. We also address the existence of deflagration waves also termed anchored waves. We further indicate related models which have a similar...

As multicomponent (3C or 4C) seismic acquisitions are now commonly used, specific processings for multicomponent datasets are required. The aim of this paper is to present a new wavefield filter for multicomponent seismic data. The proposed method is derived from a recent technique used for single component data, which takes into account the wideband characteristics of the signal. The multicomp...

The design of pharmaceutical cocrystals has initiated widespread debate on the classification of cocrystals. Current attempts to classify multicomponent crystals suffer from ambiguity, which has led to inconsistent definitions for cocrystals and for multicomponent crystals in general. Inspired by the work of Aitipamula et al. (Cryst. Growth Des. 2012, 12, 2147−2152), we present a feasible class...

Complex nanopatterns integrating diverse nanocomponents are crucial requirements for advanced photonics and electronics. Currently, such multicomponent nanopatterns are principally created by colloidal nanoparticle assembly, where large-area processing of highly ordered nanostructures raises significant challenge. We present multicomponent nanopatterns enabled by block copolymer (BCP) self-asse...

The partitioning behavior of W in a multicomponent Ni-based superalloy and in a ternary Ni–Al–W alloy is investigated using atom-probe tomography APT and first-principles calculations. APT observations indicate that whereas W partitions preferentially to the L12 -precipitates in the ternary alloy, its partitioning behavior is reversed in favor of the fcc -matrix in the multicomponent alloy. Fir...

Multicomponent interventions composed of behavioral, delivery, or implementation factors in addition to medications are becoming increasingly common in health sciences. A natural experimental approach to developing and refining such multicomponent interventions is to start with a large number of potential components and screen out the least active ones. Factorial designs can be used efficiently...
