MAVIS: performance estimation of the adaptive optics module

open access: yes, 2022
The MCAO Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph (MAVIS) is a new visible instrument for ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). Its Adaptive Optics Module (AOM) must provide extreme adaptive optics correction level at low galactic latitude and high sky ...

Infrared Small Target Detection via Multidirectional Local Gravitational Force and Level-Line Connectivity

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Infrared small target detection is significantly challenged by residual high-intensity background edges and a low signal-to-noise ratio. These issues hinder accurate target differentiation from the background and heighten the risk of false alarms.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Conception and development of an adaptive optics testbed for free-space optical communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Optical free space communications are an efficient approach to transmit high data-rates with small antennas and low power consumption over large distances. Possible scenarios are links between satellites, up- and down-links from and to ground stations as

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The use of liquid crystal adaptive optics devices in astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Images obtained from large astronomical telescopes are distorted and blurred by the effects of the atmosphere. In order to compensate for this, an adaptive optics system can be incorporated downstream from the telescope focus.

MAVIS Adaptive Optics Module: optical configuration and expected performance

open access: yes, 2022
The MCAO Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph (MAVIS) is currently in preliminary design for the ESO VLT. The instrument will provide multi-conjugate adaptive optics correction over a wide field of 30”x30”, feeding the visible part of the spectrum ...

SPDC-YOLO: An Efficient Small Target Detection Network Based on Improved YOLOv8 for Drone Aerial Image

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Target detection in UAV images is of great significance in fields such as traffic safety, emergency rescue, and environmental monitoring. However, images captured by UAVs usually have multi-scale features, complex backgrounds, uneven illumination, and ...

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have
