Peekaboo! The Effect of Different Visible Cash Display and Amount Options During Mail Contact When Recruiting to a Probability-Based Panel

Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology, 2023
Abstract Recent studies consistently showed that making cash visible with a windowed envelope during mail contact increases response rates in surveys. The visible cash aims to pique interest and encourage sampled households to open the envelope.

Near-IR to visible light face matching: Effectiveness of pre-processing options for commercial matchers

2015 IEEE 7th International Conference on Biometrics Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS), 2015
The use of near-IR images for face recognition has been proposed as a means to address illumination issues that can hinder standard visible light face matching. However, most existing non-experimental databases contain visible light images. This makes the matching of near-IR face images to visible light face images an interesting and useful challenge ...

Intraoperative Ultrasound Guidance With an Ultrasound‐Visible Clip: A Practical and Cost‐effective Option for Breast Cancer Localization

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2019
ObjectivesIn partial mastectomy (PM) or lumpectomy, ultrasound (US) localization avoids discomfort and additional procedures associated with wire localization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between ultrasound‐visible clip (UVC) use at the time of biopsy and US use during resection, hypothesizing that UVCs facilitate US ...

An alternative treatment option for otitis media: a high-energy visible light device

2023
Recent studies have reported that resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics is high in bacterial isolates from middle ear infections (acute otitis media – AOM) and continuing to rise.  Thus, there is a critical need to develop new non-antibiotic, non-invasive treatments for AOM. If antibiotic resistance continues to rise in AOM pathogens, this will

Lighting Up with a Dual-Purpose Driver: A Viable Option for a Light-Emitting Diode Driver for Visible Light Communication

IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, 2017
This article presents a dual-purpose offline light-emitting diode (LED) driver using a single-stage buck-boost-buck (S 2 -B 3 ) converter. The proposed (S 2 -B 3 ) converter provides combined illumination control and visible light communication (VLC) along with power factor correction (PFC) and is designed to operate the buck-boost section in ...

Low-energy helium-neon laser induces melanocyte proliferation via interaction with type IV collagen: visible light as a therapeutic option for vitiligo

British Journal of Dermatology, 2009
The treatment of vitiligo remains a challenge for clinical dermatologists. We have previously shown that the helium-neon laser (He-Ne laser, 632.8 nm) is a therapeutic option for treatment of this depigmentary disorder.Addressing the intricate interactions between melanocytes, the most important cellular component in the repigmentation scheme of ...

Problematising the ‘Man Problem’ in the Domestic Abuse Act: Discursive Co-option and The (In)Visibility of Gender

Social & Legal Studies
This article offers a discourse analysis of domestic abuse's ‘Man Problem’ by combining and developing Naffine's, Foucault's and Bacchi's work in a new way. Taking the parliamentary debates around the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 in England and Wales as our focus, we critique how MPs problematise gender to justify a gender-neutral definition of domestic ...
