We propose an all-fiber mode-selective power splitter (MSPS) for non-circular-symmetric LPlm (l = 1, 2, …) modes, which is suitable for multicasting and optical performance monitoring in mode-division multiplexing optical fiber networks. The MSPSs are asymmetric two-core few-mode directional couplers composed of a few-mode fiber and a two-mode fiber. We theoretically studied the three conditions required by the MSPSs. By carefully choosing the core-to-core distance and coupling length, the MSPS can achieve arbitrary splitting ratio regardless of the modal field orientation of the input non-circular-symmetric LP mode. By using an asymmetric structure, the MSPS can ensure the power splitting only happens on the target non-circular-symmetric LP mode when the phase matching condition is satisfied. In addition, we designed and numerically simulated LP MSPSs with four kinds of splitting ratios, among which the one with 90/10 splitting ratio was fabricated based on tapering and polishing method. The fabricated LP MSPS is characterized and the results show that its splitting ratio is much more stable than regular LP mode-selective coupler.

Objective: This study aims to develop a robust, multi-task deep learning framework that integrates vessel segmentation and radiomic analysis for the automated classification of four retinal conditions- diabetic retinopathy (DR), hypertensive retinopathy (HR), papilledema, and normal fundus-using fundus images.
Materials: AND.
Methods: A total of 2,165 patients from eight medical centers were enrolled.
This paper presents a novel multiscale signal processing framework for power quality disturbance (PQD) and cyber intrusion detection in smart grids, combining Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Split Augmented Lagrangian Shrinkage Algorithm (SALSA), and Morphological Component Analysis (MCA). A key innovation lies in an adaptive weighting mechanism within NSCT's directional sub bands, enabling dynamic energy redistribution and enhanced representation of both low-frequency anomalies (e.g.

The new variant of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV2 or RHDVb) is responsible for a lethal, emerging infectious disease in several species of lagomorphs, and is globally threatening wild rabbit populations. It is known that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in modulating host health, including immune responses and disease susceptibility. We hypothesize potential association of gut microbiota with the epidemiological dynamics of RHDV2 outbreaks that may provide key insights into how this lethal, emerging pathogen impacts wild rabbit populations.

Droplet splitting plays an important role in droplet microfluidics by providing precise control over droplet size, which is essential for applications such as single-cell analysis, biochemical reactions, and the fabrication of micro- and nanosized material. Conventional methods of droplet splitting using obstructions or junctions in the microchannel have a clear limitation that the split ratio for a particular device remains fixed, while existing active splitting methods are constrained by low flow rates, the need for complex systems, or limitations to specific droplet types. In this study, we demonstrate that droplet splitting can be achieved simply using a one-dimensional standing-wave field excited within a microchannel.

Background: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) remains essential for severe micrognathia correction. The clinical adoption of conventional osteotomy techniques has been constrained by complications including non-union, inferior alveolar nerve injury, and dental germ damage, compounded by suboptimal occlusal relationships and compromised facial aesthetics. Critical considerations in MDO execution encompass neural structure preservation, osteotomy gap integrity, and achieving three-dimensional skeletal augmentation to enhance both functional stability and craniofacial proportions.
