Holography, cellulations and error correcting codes [PDF]
Quantum error correction codes associated with the hyperbolic plane have been explored extensively in the context of the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence. In this paper we initiate a systematic study of codes associated with holographic geometries in higher dimensions, relating cellulations of the spatial sections of the geometries to stabiliser codes ...

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy with Infrared Thermography for Accurate Prediction of Cellulitis
Cellulitis is frequently misdiagnosed owing to its clinical mimickers, collectively known as pseudocellulitis. This study investigated diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) alone and in combination with infrared thermography (IRT) for the ...
