Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Auditory listening effort and reaction time: a comparative study between single sided deaf cochlear implant users and normal hearing controls

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
IntroductionCochlear implant (CI) provision has been shown to be the only hearing rehabilitation option that can improve speech perception in noise and sound localization in SSD listeners.

The Golden Section as Optical Limitation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The golden section, ϕ = (1 + √5)/2 = 1.618... and its companion ϕ = 1/ϕ = ϕ -1 = 0.618..., are irrational numbers which for centuries were believed to confer aesthetic appeal.

A stochastic model of the influence of buffer gas collisions on Mollow spectra

, 2013
In this paper we consider the influence of collisional fluctuations on the Mollow spectra of resonance fluorescence (RF). The fluctuations are taken into account by a simple shift of the constant detuning, involved in a set of optical Bloch equations by ...

Sleep‐Related Attentional Bias in Insomnia: A Drift Diffusion Model Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cognitive models propose that insomnia is maintained in part by selective attention to sleep‐related information, yet reaction‐time indices alone offer limited mechanistic specificity. We investigated sleep‐related attentional bias in adolescents and young adults with insomnia disorder (n = 201; aged 15–24 years; DSM‐5) using a sleep‐related ...

1/ ${f}^{\gamma}$ Low Frequency Noise Model for Buried Channel MOSFET

IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society, 2020
The Low Frequency Noise (LFN) in MOSFETs is critical to Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) demanding circuits. Buried Channel (BC) MOSFETs are commonly used as the source-follower transistors for CCDs and CMOS image sensors (CIS) for lower LFN.

Hyperanalytic denoising [PDF]

, 2007
A new threshold rule for the estimation of a deterministic image immersed in noise is proposed. The full estimation procedure is based on a separable wavelet decomposition of the observed image, and the estimation is improved by introducing the new ...

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

Computational models of the Posner simple and choice reaction time tasks

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
The landmark experiments by Posner in the late 1970s have shown thatreaction time (RT) is faster when the stimulus appears in an expectedlocation, as indicated by a cue; since then, the so-called Posnertask has been considered a ``gold standard'' test of

Proton induced leakage current in CCDs [PDF]

, 2003
The effect of different proton fluences on the performance of two E2V Technologies CCD47-20 devices was investigated with particular emphasis given to the analysis of 'random telegraph signal' (RTS) generation, bright pixel generation and induced changes
