Optical single-sideband (SSB) transmission enhances spectral efficiency and mitigates transmission reach limitations caused by chromatic dispersion (CD), making it ideal for cost-effective data-center interconnects. This paper proposes and demonstrates deep neural network (DNN)-enabled optical performance monitoring (OPM) for optical SSB transmissions. By extracting features dependent on both carrier-to-signal power ratio (CSPR) and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) from amplitude histograms (AHs) generated by an AC-coupled photodetector (PD) and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a low-complexity dual-task DNN (DT-DNN) is employed to jointly estimate CSPR and OSNR with high accuracy. Numerical results show that for a 50 GBaud 16-QAM SSB signal, the root mean square error (RMSE) values for CSPR estimation (2-11 dB range) and OSNR estimation (14-23 dB range) are 0.14 dB and 0.29 dB, respectively, under back-to-back (B2B) transmission. After transmission over 80 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF), the corresponding RMSE values increase to 0.17 dB and 0.33 dB, respectively. Experimental validation using a 25 GBaud 16-QAM SSB signal over 40 km of SSMF yields RMSE values for CSPR and OSNR estimation of less than 0.26 dB and 0.80 dB, respectively. The proposed technique shows great potential for real-time OPM in high-speed optical SSB transmission systems.

Sweating is a vital thermoregulatory mechanism in humans for maintaining thermal balance during exercise and exposure to hot environments. The development of models that predict sweat rate based on body temperature has been ongoing for over half a century. Here, we compared predicted water loss rates (WLR) from these models to actual observations collected during 780 participant-exposures in three independent laboratory-based experiments.

Objective: To develop a deep learning method for fast and accurate prediction of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) distributions in the human head to support real-time hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) of brain cancer patients.
Approach: We propose an encoder-decoder neural network with cross-attention blocks to predict SAR maps from brain electrical properties, tumor 3D isocenter coordinates and microwave antenna phase settings. A dataset of 201 simulations was generated using finite-element modeling by varying tissue properties, tumor positions, and antenna phases within a human head model equipped with a three-ring phased-array applicator.

Purpose: This study aims to address the limitations of radiographic imaging and single-task learning models in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis assessment by developing a noninvasive, radiation-free diagnostic framework.
Methods: A multi-task deep learning model was trained using structured back surface data acquired via fringe projection three-dimensional imaging. The model was designed to simultaneously predict the Cobb angle, curve type (thoracic, lumbar, mixed, none), and curve direction (left, right, none) by learning shared morphological features.
