Practical and analytical considerations when performing interim analyses in diagnostic test accuracy studies by Fleming, S, Mwandigha, L, Fanshawe, T

“…The method is illustrated using two simulated data sets and data from a published diagnostic accuracy study for point-of-care testing for SARS-CoV-2. The considerations described in this paper can be used to guide decisions as to when an interim analysis in a diagnostic accuracy study is suitable and highlight areas for further methodological development.…”

Seismic behavior of interior concretebeam-column joints with non-seismic and limited seismic detailing by Li, Qingyuan.

“…It was demonstrated that even limited seismic detailing could improve the seismic behavior of the joints. Column main bars lap spliced within plastic hinge regions were detrimental. …”

A middle infrared hyperspectral imaging based on diffraction grating and metalens by Gong, Tu

“…The diffraction grating style is improved from blazed grating by changing the ladder or cylindrical surfaces to several bars. This design can simplify the fabrication process and hence reduce the cost. 0.457 is the highest transmission achieved for germanium material when the period is 2.82 μm and the height is 1.36 μm. …”

Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Methods for Narrowband Blind Adaptive Beamforming by Shonkwiler, Lara

“…Traditional blind source separation methods such as CMA, SOBI, JADE, and FastICA tend to be highly effective at beamforming datasets with moderate to large sample supports, but they do not perform well when they only have access to a limited number of data samples. They also bear the disadvantage that the appropriate algorithm must be selected based on the properties of the expected signal. …”
