Measuring the hole-state anisotropy in MgB2 by electron energy-loss spectroscopy by Klie, Robert F., Su, Haibin, Zhu, Yimei, Davenport, James W., Idrobo, Juan-Carlos, Browning, Nigel D., Nellist, Peter D.

“…In particular, we have studied two different crystal orientations, [110] and [001], with respect to the incident electron beam direction, and found significant changes in the near-edge fine structure of the B K-edge. Density-functional theory suggests that the pre-peak of the B K-edge core loss is composed of a mixture of pxy- and pz-hole states and we will show that these contributions can be distinguished only with an experimental energy resolution better than 0.5 eV. …”

Biometric contrastive learning for data-efficient deep learning from electrocardiographic images by Sangha, V, Khunte, A, Holste, G, Mortazavi, BJ, Wang, Z, Oikonomou, EK, Khera, R

“…</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods:&nbsp;</strong>Using pairs of ECGs from 78 288 individuals from Yale (2000-2015), we trained a convolutional neural network to identify temporally separated ECG pairs that varied in layouts from the same patient. We fine-tuned BCL-pretrained models to detect atrial fibrillation (AF), gender, and LVEF&thinsp;&lt;&thinsp;40%, using ECGs from 2015 to 2021. …”

DEWP: deep expansion learning for wind power forecasting by Fan, W, Fu, Y, Zheng, S, Bian, J, Zhou, Y, Xiong, H

Audio-based approaches in tuning retrieval of gamelan ensemble by Hamdan, Sinin

“…Three approaches used in retrieving tunings of gamelan are as follows: chladni patterns experiment using fine particle (sand), acoustic excitation from speaker for non-contact sinusoidal acoustic excitation and non-contact laser detector at specific eigen frequency, electronic speckle pattern interferometry (espi) for coherent addition of speckle fields diffracted by object and reference fields and laser doppler vibrometer (LDV) captured the vibration of the eigen frequency from the gong. …”
