Outpatient care providers usually allow patients to access service via scheduling appointments or direct walk-in. Patients choose strategically between these two access channels (and otherwise balk…
Cyberbullying on social networking sites (SNSs) escalates when bystanders join in the bullying. Although researchers have recognized the harmful consequences of joining in cyberbullying behaviors, …
Pipeline integrity management is of great significance for ensuring the safety of life and property. Due to the stable running, no pressure drops, and hidden characteristics, the identification and…
The Periodic Gaussian Process (PGP) has been increasingly used to model periodic data due to its high accuracy. Yet, computing the likelihood of PGP has a high computational complexity of O(n3) (n …
As the broadband applications continue rising, the solutions of high-speed passive optical network (PON) with large power budget are highly desired. Direct detection scheme combined with digital si…
Benefitting from the excellent characteristics such as low cytotoxicity, functionalization versatility, and tunable fluorescence, nanodiamonds (NDs) have shown enormous application potentials in th…
High-sensitivity detection of heavy metal ions in solution is critical for environmental monitoring. In this paper, a dual-mode method namely hybrid electrochemical-surface plasmon resonance (SPR) …
An Ultra-long adiabatic tapered single mode fiber (UATSMF) is proposed for the Rayleigh back-scattering enhancement and nonlinear suppression. Its Rayleigh back-scattering is enhanced by increasing…
Tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) sensors are widely used in biochemical and electrochemical sensing due to their high sensitivity to refractive index (RI) of the surrounding medium. Ability of TFB…
