Characterizing the luminescent properties of upconversion nanoparticles in single and densely packed state [PDF]
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2019 Luminescent properties of Er3+- and Yb3+- co-doped CaF2 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were investigated in single particle and densely-packed states with a custom-built microscope.

Improving lung function in adolescents with CF by tracking annual rate of lung function decline
BMJ Open Quality, 2021 Background For patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), sustaining lung function through the adolescent years is crucial to slow the progressive decline that leads to significant morbidity and early mortality.

Association between resting heart rate and pulmonary function in adult men [PDF]
Journal of Men's Health, 2023 Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is known to be associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) whose pulmonary function is reduced. On the other hand, no study has reported on the association between

Distortion-Rate Function of Sub-Nyquist Sampled Gaussian Sources [PDF]
, 2015 The amount of information lost in sub-Nyquist sampling of a continuous-time Gaussian stationary process is quantified. We consider a combined source coding and sub-Nyquist reconstruction problem in which the input to the encoder is a noisy sub-Nyquist ...

Rate Distortion Functions and Rate Distortion Function Lower Bounds for Real-World Sources
Entropy, 2017 Although Shannon introduced the concept of a rate distortion function in 1948, only in the last decade has the methodology for developing rate distortion function lower bounds for real-world sources been established.

Variable-rate source coding theorems for stationary nonergodic sources [PDF]
, 1994 For a stationary ergodic source, the source coding theorem and its converse imply that the optimal performance theoretically achievable by a fixed-rate or variable-rate block quantizer is equal to the distortion-rate function, which is defined as the ...

Efficient Computation of the Quantum Rate-Distortion Function [PDF]
QuantumThe quantum rate-distortion function plays a fundamental role in quantum information theory, however there is currently no practical algorithm which can efficiently compute this function to high accuracy for moderate channel dimensions. In this paper, we
