Single-Frequency Imaging and Material Characterization using Reconfigurable Reflectarrays [PDF]
In this work, a physical and geometrical optics based single-frequency imaging scheme is proposed for personal screening systems using multiple reconfigurable reflectarrays. This scheme is able to not only reconstruct profiles of potential threat objects on human body, but also identify their materials in terms of their complex relative permittivities.

Approximately one in three patients with Rome IV functional dyspepsia (FD) consume opioids and this is associated with older age, depression/anxiety, and chronic pain. Opioid cessation alongside a neuromodulator improved symptoms in 29% of cases, with a number needed to treat of 5.7, suggesting that this treatment strategy may be beneficial in FD ...
