A Reconfigurable 1x2 Photonic Digital Switch Controlled by an Externally Induced Metasurface by Alessandro Fantoni, Paolo Di Giamberardino

“…MMI couplers, based on self-imaging multimode waveguides, are very compact integrated optical components that can perform many different splitting and recombining functions. The input–output model has been defined using a machine learning approach; a high number of images have been generated through simulations, based on the beam propagation algorithm, obtaining a large dataset for an MMI structure under different activation maps of the MOS pixels. …”

Comparative genomics search for losses of long-established genes on the human lineage. by Jingchun Zhu, J Zachary Sanborn, Mark Diekhans, Craig B Lowe, Tom H Pringle, David Haussler

“…Unlike most previous genomic methods for pseudogene identification, this analysis is able to differentiate losses of well-established genes from pseudogenes formed shortly after segmental duplication or generated via retrotransposition. Therefore, it enables us to find genes that were inactivated long after their birth, which were likely to have evolved nonredundant biological functions before being inactivated. …”
