Bubble translation at low-frequency actuation in a resonator-shaped microfluidic chamber by Shang, Xiaopeng, Huang, Xiaoyang, Yang, Chun

“…The experimental results show that under the actuation at 1 kHz, the bubbles are observed to occur near the center of the chamber, grow up in size and then move upstream against the main flow. The bubble translation upstream against the main flow is attributed to the attraction of the image bubbles which exist behind the chamber sidewall.…”

Cooperative field localization and excitation eigenmodes in disordered metamaterials by Papasimakis, Nikitas, Jenkins, Stewart D., Savo, Salvatore, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Ruostekoski, Janne

“…The methods allow us to calculate local field and Purcell factor enhancement arising from the collective electric and magnetic excitations. We find substantially increased standard deviation of the Purcell enhancement with disorder, making it increasingly likely to find collective excitation eigenmodes with very high Purcell factors that are also stronger for magnetic than electric excitations. …”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”
