We present a new wave-vector-space approach for solving inverse scattering problems. In our formulation, the theories for diffraction tomography and coherence gating are combined to explain 3D reconstruction with low-coherence light. Specifically, we apply this method to solve the scattering problem with broadband fields for transmission and reflection measurements. Our results can be applied t...

We investigate the k-concurrence entanglement convertability theorem of coherence. By introducing the coherence number, which is the generalization of coherence rank to mixed states, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for a coherent mixed state to be converted to an entangled state of nonzero k-concurrence. We also quantitatively compare the amount of k-concurrence entanglement wit...

Recent research suggests that pronoun interpretation is guided by the semantic coherence relations between clauses. However, it is not yet wellunderstood whether coherence effects extend to other anaphoric expressions beyond pronouns. We report an experiment on German, a language in which human antecedents can be referred to both with personal and demonstrative pronouns. How do anaphoric demons...

We present the concept of instructional program coherence and explain why school improvement frameworks that incorporate instructional program coherence are more likely to advance student achievement than multiple, unrelated efforts. We present evidence that Chicago elementary schools with stronger instructional program coherence make higher gains in student achievement. We also share observati...

Previous work on automatic summarization does not thoroughly consider coherence while generating the summary. We introduce a graph-based approach to summarize scientific articles. We employ coherence patterns to ensure that the generated summaries are coherent. The novelty of our model is twofold: we mine coherence patterns in a corpus of abstracts, and we propose a method to combine coherence,...

BACKGROUND No reports exist concerning in vivo optical coherence tomography visualization of the epidural space and the blood patch process in the epidural space. In this study, we produced real-time two-dimensional and reconstructed three-dimensional images of the epidural space by using optical coherence tomography in a porcine model. We also aimed to produce three-dimensional optical coheren...

Background: Job performance is one of the most fundamental concepts in organizations, based on which, the responsibilities and success of each individual in the organization are formed.  The main objective of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and professional ethics, and the job perfor...
