The increasingly pervasive problem of counterfeiting affects both individuals and industry.In particular, public health and medical fields face threats to device authenticity and patient privacy, especially in the post-pandemic era.Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) present a modern solution using copyright-proof security labels to securely authe
Integrated Natural Resource Management: Approaches and Lessons from the Himalaya
Losses of forest cover, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem services in the Himalayan mountain region are interlinked problems and threats to the sustainable livelihoods of 115 x 106 mountain people as well as the inhabitants of the adjoining Indo-gangetic plains.Until the 1970s, environmental conservation, food security, and rur
Correlations reveal the hierarchical organization of biological networks with latent variables
Abstract Deciphering the functional organization of large biological networks is a major challenge for current mathematical methods.A common approach is to decompose networks into largely independent functional modules, but inferring these modules and their organization from network activity is difficult, given the uncertainties Gauze and incomplet
Automatic segmentation and classification of breast lesions through identification of informative multiparametric PET/MRI features
Abstract Background Multiparametric positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (mpPET/MRI) shows clinical potential for detection and classification of breast lesions.Yet, the contribution of features for computer-aided segmentation and diagnosis (CAD) need to be better understood.We proposed a data-driven machine learning approach for
