Transmission and Distance: Unveiling Artistic Fax Collaboration and Circulation of Images by Beatriz Escribano Belmar

“…This new way of production, collaboration, and distribution gave rise to the graphic language of poor images stemming from the technical processes in fax creation exchanges. These poor images had low resolution, distortion, degradation, visual noise, and image deterioration – elements that became part of the graphic language inherent to the machine’s media specificity.  …”

Advanced deep learning models based on neutrosophic logic for the analysis of brain tumor medical images by Dina Atef, Doaa El Shaha

“…Conventional deep learning models frequently encounter difficulties in addressing this issue, resulting in diminished diagnostic precision, particularly in the context of low-quality or ambiguous situations. This work presents a hybrid methodology that combines Neutrosophic Set (NS) theory with deep learning models to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) picture classification in uncertain settings. …”

Multiphoton enhanced resolution for superconducting nanowire single-photon detector-based time-of-flight lidar systems by Adrian S. Abazi, Roland Jaha, Connor A. Graham-Scott, Wolfram H. P. Pernice, Carsten Schuck

“…For single-shot measurements, we find resolution in the millimeter regime, resulting from the jitter of the time-of-flight signal of 21ps for low photon numbers. We further decrease this signal jitter to 11ps by driving the SNSPD into a multiphoton detection regime, utilizing laser pulses of higher intensity, thus improving range resolution. …”
