Abstract A simple, stable, and high-sensitivity temperature sensor based on multimode interference in a polymer optical fiber (POF) with higher-order mode excitation has been developed. In single-mode–multimode–single-mode (SMS) structure, one end of the POF physical-contact (PC) connectors is connected to silica single-mode an angled-PC (APC) connector. We compare sensing characteristics three...

results overall suicide mortality has increased from 10.6 per 100,000 in 2003 to 12.4 in 2014, which equals to 1.5 % (+0.1 - + 2.8) annual percentage change (apc). increase in suicide rate for women was remarkably higher than men (apc = 4.5 for women and 0.5 for men (p value < 0.001)). majority of increase belonged to age group 20 - 29 in women and 30-39 in men. old men have an increasing trend...

Atmospheric phase is the main factor affecting accuracy of ground-based synthetic aperture radar. The atmospheric screen (APS) may be very complicated, due to drastic changes in conditions, and conventional correction methods based on regression models cannot fit correct it effectively. Partition a feasible path improve (APC) for complicated APS, but overfitting problem ignored. In this article...

background and aims. recent literature shows that accelerated portland cement (apc) is a non-toxic material that may have potential to promote bone healing. the objective of this study was to histologically evaluate periodontal healing focusing on new bone regeneration following implantation of apc into intra-bony defects in dogs. materials and methods. three-wall intra-bony periodontal defects...

conclusions acute poisoning in children is a serious preventable cause of hospital admissions. it is one of the differential diagnoses in patients with sudden onset of neurological, alimentary, respiratory symptoms and signs, who are visited at the emergency department. parental awareness and education about keeping potential poisoning agents safely is essential to reduce apc in children. backg...

Recently, self-supervised learning (SSL) from unlabelled speech data has gained increased attention in the automatic recognition (ASR) community. Typical SSL methods include autoregressive predictive coding (APC), Wav2vec2.0, and hidden unit BERT (HuBERT). However, models are biased to pretraining data. When finetuned with another domain, domain shifting occurs might cause limited knowledge tra...
