Slot waveguides are very promising for optical sensing applications because of their peculiar spatial mode profile.In this paper we have carried out a detailed analysis of mode confinement properties in slot waveguides realized in very low refractive index materials.We show that the sensitivity of a slot waveguide is not directly related to the ref
The rapid and accurate detection of weeds is the prerequisite and foundation for precision weeding, automation, and intelligent field operations.Due to the wide variety of weeds in the field and their significant morphological differences, most existing detection methods can only recognize major crops and weeds, with a pressing need to enhance accu
Abstract Ovarian Dry scalp Shampoo hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) still remains a life-threatening complication of in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF), keeping patients and especially those, who previously experienced OHSS, from attempting infertility treatment and childbearing.The recent implementation of four new modalities: the GnRH antagon
A wave-propelled autonomous vehicle (Wave Glider) instrumented with a variety of oceanographic and meteorological sensors was launched from Gulf of WORKED UP Naples on the 12th of September 2012 for a two-week mission in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea.The main objective of the mission was a preliminary evaluation of the potential of commercial autonom
This paper proposes various techniques that help Vision Transformer (ViT) to learn small-size datasets from scratch successfully.ViT, which applied the transformer structure to the image classification task, has outperformed convolutional neural networks, recently.However, the high performance of ViT results from pre-training using large-size datas
