Generalized self-cueing real-time attention scheduling with intermittent inspection and image resizing by Liu, Shengzhong, Fu, Xinzhe, Hu, Yigong, Wigness, Maggie, David, Philip, Yao, Shuochao, Sha, Lui, Abdelzaher, Tarek

“…One limitation of our original self-cueing-and-inspection strategy (Liu et al. in Proceedings of the 28th IEEE real-time and embedded technology and applications symposium (RTAS), 2022b) lies in its lack of computational efficiency under high workloads, like busy traffic scenarios where a large number of objects are identified and separately inspected. …”

Towards depth-resolved multi-cubic-centimeter field of view endoscopic camera for intraoperative nerve identification. by Yoon, Yong-Chul

“…In the second component of this thesis, we provide extensive theoretical and experimental studies on how optical amplifiers can be used in OCT to address sensitivity challenges of high-speed surgical OCT platforms like CL-OCT. Together, these lines of research define a new approach to meeting the need for OCT-based solutions for intraoperative nerve identification. …”

探 = In search of harmony by Ng, Woon Lam

“…Artists back then were not able to purchase tubes of paint directly from art stores ( a luxury only available much later, thanks to the Industrial Revolution ) to go en plein air painting like we do today. In addition to that, pigments used before the 1850s were generally earth materials or plant extracts, which had to be further blended with oil to form the painting paste used in studios. …”

Infectious diseases acquired by international travellers visiting the USA by Stoney, Rhett J, Esposito, Douglas H., Kozarsky, Phyllis, Hamer, Davidson H., Grobusch, Martin P., Gkrania-Klotsas, Effrossyni, Libman, Michael, Gautret, Philippe, Lim, Poh Lian, Leder, Karin, Schwartz, Eli, Sotir, Mark J., Licitra, Carmelo

“…Low-frequency illnesses (<2% of cases) made up over half of diagnoses during travel and 41% of diagnoses after travel, including 13 cases of coccidioidomycosis and mosquito-borne infections like West Nile, dengue and Zika virus diseases. Conclusions: International travellers to the USA acquired a diverse array of mostly cosmopolitan infectious diseases, including nonspecific respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatologic and systemic infections comparable to what has been reported among travellers to low- and middle-income countries. …”
