The ultimate sensitivity of optical detection is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The first part of the paper shows that coherence plays an important role in the noise analysis. Although interference between an auxiliary wave and…

Purpose: This study proposes a systematic method for determining the optimal x-ray tube settings/energy windows and fluence for minimal noise and maximum CNR in material density images obtained from DECT scans by fixing the subject size and…

In several image acquisition and processing steps of X-ray radiography, knowledge of the existence of metal implants and their exact position is highly beneficial (e.g. dose regulation, image contrast adjustment). Another application which…

Exoplanetary transit and stellar oscillation surveys require a very high precision photometry. The instrumental noise has therefore to be minimized. First, we perform a semi-analytical model of different noise sources. We show that the…

The performance limits of the multilayer graphene nanoribbon (GNR) field-effect transistor (FET) are assessed and compared to those of monolayer GNR FET and carbon nanotube (CNT) FET. The results show that with a thin high-k gate insulator…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have proven to be powerful in many graph-based applications. However, they fail to generalize well under heterophilic setups, where neighbor nodes have different labels. To address this challenge, we employ a…

When x-rays penetrate soft matter, their phase changes more rapidly than their amplitude. In- terference effects visible with high brightness sources creates higher contrast, edge enhanced images. When the object is piecewise smooth (made…

Multispectral computed tomography (CT) enables advanced material characterization by acquiring energy-resolved projection data. However, since the incoming X-ray flux is be distributed across multiple narrow energy bins, the photon count…

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) typically requires hundreds of X-ray projections, which raises concerns about radiation exposure. While sparse-view reconstruction reduces the exposure by using fewer projections, it struggles to achieve…

Molecular Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are increasingly common in drug discovery, particularly for Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies; yet, their superiority compared to classical molecular featurisation approaches…

In the field of clinical medicine, computed tomography (CT) is an effective medical imaging modality for the diagnosis of various pathologies. Compared with X-ray images, CT images can provide more information, including multi-planar slices…

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) are widely used in a variety of applications, and can be seen as an unstructured version of standard Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). As in CNNs, the computational cost of GCNs for large input graphs…

Restoring high-quality CT images from low dose CT counterparts is an ill-posed, nonlinear problem to which Deep Learning approaches have been giving superior solutions compared to classical model-based approaches. In this article, a…

We present an attention-based spatial graph convolution (AGC) for graph neural networks (GNNs). Existing AGCs focus on only using node-wise features and utilizing one type of attention function when calculating attention weights. Instead,…

The super $\tau$-charm facility (STCF) is a next-generation electron-positron collider with high luminosity proposed in China. The higher luminosity leads to increased background level, posing significant challenges for track reconstruction…

A vertical partial gate carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor (FET), which is amenable to the vertical CNT growth process and offers the potential for a parallel CNT array channel, is simulated using a self-consistent atomistic…

OVID-19 is a world-wide disease that has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Computer Tomography (CT) imaging of the chest seems to be a valid diagnosis tool to detect COVID-19 promptly and to control the spread of…

Quantification of cardiac structures in non-contrast CT (NCCT) could improve cardiovascular risk stratification. However, setting a manual reference to train a fully convolutional network (FCN) for automatic segmentation of NCCT images is…

CT protocol design and quality control would benefit from automated tools to estimate the quality of generated CT images. These tools could be used to identify erroneous CT acquisitions or refine protocols to achieve certain signal to noise…
