A critical issue in optical chaos-based communications is the possibility to identify the
parameters of the chaotic emitter and, hence, to break the security. In this paper, we study …

Background: Global health academic partnerships are centered around a core tension: they
often mirror or reproduce the very cross-national inequities they seek to alleviate. On the one …

We explore two-dimensional triangular lattice photonic crystals composed of air holes in a
dielectric background which are subject to a graded-index distribution along the direction …

Digital images and video clips collected at construction jobsites are commonly used for
extracting useful information. Exploring new applications for image processing techniques …

Terahertz sparse deconvolution based on an iterative shrinkage algorithm is presented in
this study to characterize multilayered structures. With an upsampling approach, sparse …

Background Mental illnesses are the largest contributors to the global burden of non-
communicable diseases. However, there is extremely limited access to high quality …

Noninvasive inspection of layered structures has remained a long-standing challenge for
time-resolved imaging techniques, where both resolution and contrast are compromised by …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of disease burden globally,
disproportionately affecting low and middle-income countries. The continued scarcity of …

In this essay, we seek to understand how the stunning rise of data vacuuming, necessitated
by the pretense of 'partnership'within global health, has fundamentally altered how routine …

Background Reducing the maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births
globally is one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Approximately 830 women die from …
