We introduce a deep learning image segmentation framework that is extremely robust to missing imaging modalities. Instead of attempting to impute or synthesize missing data, the proposed approach learns, for each modality, an embedding of the input image into a single latent vector space for which arithmetic operations (such as taking the mean) are well defined. Points in that space, which are ...

Using monoanionic triazenide ligands derived from biphenyl and m-terphenyl substituted triazenes Dmp(Tph)N3H (1a), (Me4Ter)2N3H (1b) or Dmp(Mph)N3H (1c) (Dmp = 2,6-Mes2C6H3 with Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2; Me4Ter = 2,6-(3,5-Me2C6H3)2C6H3; Mph = 2-MesC6H4; Tph = 2-TripC6H4 with Trip = 2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2), several magnesium triazenides were synthesized. Heteroleptic complexes [Mg(N3Ar2)I(OEt2)] (Ar2 = Dmp/...

A simulation study is carried out on the hetero-structure complementary (p-p-p-n) IMPATT oscillator for Terahertz power generation. It is observed that hetero-structure GaN/AlGaN IMPATT may generate a pulsed power density of ~8x10 Wm with an efficiency of 11%, whereas it’s flatly doped counterpart is capable of delivering a pulsed power density of only 3x10 Wm with 7% efficiency. The total para...

This dissertation describes our effort on developing a technology of photodetectors for application in chip-level optical communication. The photodetector proposed in this thesis work is the Ge/SOI Photo-Hetero-JFET. It is based on a silicon junction-FET in which the traditional electrical gate is replaced by a photo-active germanium mesa. The silicon channel conductance is then modulated by ne...

One of the hypervalent iodines most widely used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry is (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PhI(OAc)2), also known (DAIB), phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA). In this septennial mini-review, authors have concisely and systematically presented representative applications PIDA synthesis involving C-H functionalization, hetero-hetero bond formations, heterocyclic ring con...

2D photoactive materials may offer interesting opportunities in photocatalytic devices since they combine strong light absorption and shortening of charge carriers’ diffusion path. Because their high surface defect concentration the formation a majority edge/plane vs plane/plane contacts between anisotropic building blocks, passivation improvement carrier transport are critical for large develo...

In the target article, Alessandro Salice and Alba Montes Sánchez argue that people sometimes feel proud and ashamed of the actions of others whom they perceive to belong to the same group as themselves. The authors maintain that the social self is the target of emotion whereas the other is merely its focus—a background object that makes intelligible the target's instantiating the formal object ...
