Generating Large Time–Bandwidth Product RF-Chirped Waveforms Using Vernier Dual-Optical Frequency Combs by Mohammed S. Alshaykh

“…In this work, we propose a photonics-based large-TBWP RF chirp generator utilizing dual optical frequency combs with a small difference in the repetition rate. By employing dispersion modules for frequency-to-time mapping, we convert the spectral interferometric patterns into a temporal RF sinusoidal carrier signal whose frequency is swept through the optical shot-to-shot delay. …”

Two-step skeletization of binary images based on the Zhang-Suen model and the producing mask by J., Ma, V. Yu. Tsviatkou, V. K. Kanapelka

“…The aim of the work is to limit excessive thinning and increase the resistance to contour noise of skeletons resulted from arbitrary binary image shape while maintaining a high skeletonization rate. The skeleton is a set of thin lines, the relative position, the size and shape, which conveys information of size, shape and orientation in space of the corresponding homogeneous region of the image. …”

Proactive and Reactive Response Inhibition across the Lifespan. by Peter Smittenaar, Robb B Rutledge, Peter Zeidman, Rick A Adams, Harriet Brown, Glyn Lewis, Raymond J Dolan

“…Both forms of control rely on overlapping frontostriatal pathways known to deteriorate in healthy aging, an age-related decline that occurs at an accelerated rate in men compared to women. Here we ask whether these patterns of age-related decline are reflected in similar changes in proactive and reactive inhibitory control across the lifespan. …”
