The role of multimodal imaging in the diagnostics of non-compaction cardiomyopathy (a clinical case) by M. Yu. Kolesnyk, S. V. Fedkiv, M. V. Sokolova, O. V. Nikitiuk

“…It was described a clinical case of a 53-year old female with intact coronary arteries, who had been followed up for ten years with a diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy after the detection of a left bundle branch block. When performing standard echocardiography, a two-layer structure of the myocardium was found in the apical lateral segments of the left ventricle (LV) with the presence of hypertrabeculated internal layer and diffuse decrease in global LV contractility (three-dimensional ejection fraction 34 %). …”

A Comparative Study of Divergent Surface Acoustic Wave Beams’ Generation on an Y128° Lithium Niobate Using Various Types of Interdigital Transducers by Marc Duquennoy, Dame Fall, Nada Ben Jafela, Nikolay Smagin, Zakariae Oumekloul, Lynda Chehami, Emmanuel Moulin, Mohammadi Ouaftouh

“…This study focuses on the possibility of generating divergent surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with interdigital transducers (IDTs) deposited on Y128° Lithium Niobate for non-destructive testing applications, particularly in the context of manufacturing layer-on-substrate systems for microelectronic components. The selected approach is to diffuse the SAWs over a large surface area and in various directions in order to analyze the structure and detect any defects when using the well-known passive imaging by correlating the diffuse acoustic field. …”

Reinforcement learning-based dynamic field exploration and reconstruction using multi-robot systems for environmental monitoring by Thinh Lu, Divyam Sobti, Deepak Talwar, Wencen Wu

“…This research introduces a strategy for path planning and control of a group of mobile sensing robots to efficiently explore and reconstruct a dynamic field consisting of multiple non-overlapping diffusion sources. Our approach integrates a reinforcement learning-based path planning algorithm to guide the multi-robot formation in identifying diffusion sources, with a clustering-based method for destination selection once a new source is detected, to enhance coverage and accelerate exploration in unknown environments. …”

Quantifying the Impact of Environmental Factors on the Methane Point-Source Emission Algorithm by Zixuan Wang, Linxin Wang, Ding Li, Lingjing Yang, Lixue Cao, Qin He, Kai Qin

“…The study reveals several key findings: (1) Under ideal conditions, 15% of satellite spectral noise contributes to a 13% bias in CH4 detection inversion, and a spectral resolution of 10–14 nm allows the detection of CH₄ emissions with concentrations as low as 350 ppb, above the background level of 1900 ppb. (2) For near-surface aerosols at 2100 nm, an aerosol optical depth (AOD) of 0.1 leads to a low bias of −51.6% with water-soluble aerosols and a strong bias of −69.2% with black carbon aerosols, while dust aerosols induce a medium bias of up to −60.7%. (3) The height of the aerosol layer affects the accuracy of methane inversion, which is up to 7.3% higher under aerosol conditions at 3 km than under aerosol conditions near the ground. (4) When the CH₄ emission source and its diffuse plume are located above a high-reflectance (bright) surface, while the background CH₄ concentration is associated with a low-reflectance (dark) surface, the significant reflectance contrast between the two surfaces leads to a rapid degradation in inversion accuracy. …”
