Perceived Effectiveness and Sustainability of Face Masks Among German Citizens During the 2nd Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic—A Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2022
BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic, which began at the end of 2019, has led to a significant increase in the demand for face masks in Germany and around the globe. Since non-reusable masks are often not correctly disposed of and are not biodegradable, their

Optimal Masks for Low-Degree Solar Acoustic Modes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We suggest a solution to an important problem of observational helioseismology of the separation of lines of solar acoustic (p) modes of low angular degree in oscillation power spectra by constructing optimal masks for Doppler images of the Sun. Accurate

Comparative study of manufacturing techniques for coronagraphic binary pupil masks: masks on substrates and free-standing masks

open access: yes, 2012
We present a comparative study of the manufacture of binary pupil masks for coronagraphic observations of exoplanets. A checkerboard mask design, a type of binary pupil mask design, was adopted, and identical patterns of the same size were used for all ...

Silver Standard Masks for Data Augmentation Applied to Deep-Learning-Based Skull-Stripping

open access: yes, 2017
The bottleneck of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for medical imaging is the number of annotated data required for training. Manual segmentation is considered to be the "gold-standard".

Safety and pulmonary function impact of surgical mask usage in stable COPD patients during the COVID-19 pandemic

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2023
There are hesitations about the use of surgical face masks, which are the main tools in protection from the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest disasters of our age, in chronic airway diseases.

Coset Sum: an alternative to the tensor product in wavelet construction

open access: yes, 2013
A multivariate biorthogonal wavelet system can be obtained from a pair of multivariate biorthogonal refinement masks in Multiresolution Analysis setup. Some multivariate refinement masks may be decomposed into lower dimensional refinement masks.

A Recurrent Encoder-Decoder Approach with Skip-filtering Connections for Monaural Singing Voice Separation

open access: yes, 2018
The objective of deep learning methods based on encoder-decoder architectures for music source separation is to approximate either ideal time-frequency masks or spectral representations of the target music source(s). The spectral representations are then

Masks, Mirrors, and Mediated Perception: Reflective Viewing in the House of the Gilded Cupids

open access: yesArts, 2019
Masks, as a locus of mimetic potential, serve both to typify and to disguise, distilling character traits and translating them visually, even as they hide the visage of those who might wear them, suggesting a performative persona through the partial ...

Use of Personal Protection Equipment by Moscow Subway Passengers under Conditions of COVID-19 Pandemic

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2022
The Subway is the most important means of transport in Moscow. The active flows of passengers in the metro can contribute to the spread of infectious diseases with airborne and contact mechanisms of transmission, including the coronavirus infection COVID-

An Algebraic Perspective on Multivariate Tight Wavelet Frames. II

open access: yes, 2013
Continuing our recent work we study polynomial masks of multivariate tight wavelet frames from two additional and complementary points of view: convexity and system theory.
