A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude

We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst, FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time with a dispersion measure (DM) of 1105.6$\pm$0.8 pc cm^{-3}, a pulse duration of 2.8^{+1.2}_{-0.5} ms, and a measured peak flux density assuming the burst was at beam center of 0.7^{+0.2}_{-0.1} Jy. The FRB originated at a Galactic longitude and latitude of 24.66^{\circ}, 5.28^{\circ}, 25 degrees away from the Galactic Center. The burst was found to be 43$\pm$5% linearly polarized with a rotation measure (RM) in the range -9 < RM < 12 rad m^{-2} (95% confidence level), consistent with zero. The burst was followed-up with 11 telescopes to search for radio, optical, X-ray, gamma-ray and neutrino emission. Neither transient nor variable emission was found to be associated with the burst and no repeat pulses have been observed in 17.25 hours of observing. The sightline to the burst is close to the Galactic plane and the observed physical properties of FRB 150215 demonstrate the existence of sight lines of anomalously low RM for a given electron column density. The Galactic RM foreground may approach a null value due to magnetic field reversals along the line of sight, a decreased total electron column density from the Milky Way, or some combination of these effects. A lower Galactic DM contribution might explain why this burst was detectable whereas previous searches at low latitude have had lower detection rates than those out of the plane.
The clinical value of dysphagia preassessment in the management of head and neck cancer patients

To review the aims and clinical value of a pretreatment dysphagia assessment in head and neck cancer patients.Studies show that the majority of head and neck cancer patients have a functional swallow, before they commence treatment. However, those with advanced and/or pharyngeal cancer are more likely to show signs of aspiration. Changes to swallowing performance can be observed on clinical tests and a number of biomechanical differences are seen on instrumental assessment. New evidence has demonstrated that swallowing assessment prior to the commencement of treatment is predictive of swallowing difficulties up to 1 year posttreatment. The type of surgical or oncological treatment seems to be an important factor for long-term swallowing dysfunction.A swallowing evaluation is multidimensional and tests include both the clinical and the patient perspective. A pretreatment dysphagia assessment is important for identifying swallowing difficulties and highlighting patients who are likely to develop chronic dysfunction. Predictive indicators can be used to tailor patient information for the likely functional impact of treatment.

Interference of Quantum Fields-Lessons and Uses

The interference of the beams of light led to the foundations of wave optics and this motivated founding fathers of quantum mechanics to arrive at the wave equation for quantum particles like electrons. With the advent of quantum theory of light by Planck, Dirac pondered over how the interference would arise with single photons as these fundamental entities could not be broken in two parts like light waves. He introduced the idea of the quantum amplitudes for the paths which needed to be summed up coherently before finding the intensity or the photon detection probability. I will present a very important application of the interference among several paths to understand in clear physical terms the phenomena of super radiance ie the emergence of enhanced radiation from a system initially prepared in a collective state. I will show how how a collective state leads to several paths along which photon can be emitted. A constructive interference of these paths leads to super radiance where as a destructive interference leads to sub radiance.
Frequency-Encoded quantum multi-photon interference devices

Optical quantum computing and quantum simulation rely on multi-photon interference effects, between many photons in a larger number of optical paths or modes. In particular in Gaussian Boson Sampling protocols, single-mode squeezed states are input to an optical circuit implementing a transformation on the modes, which creates a complex multi-mode squeezed state. Sampling from such a state with single photon detectors is thought to be an intractable problem to simulate with classical computers, and has useful applications, for instance in calculating molecular vibronic spectra and in identifying densely connected sub-graphs of a network. This motivates building quantum-optical devices to implement Gaussian Boson Sampling. However, it is resource intensive to create a usefully large state using many separate squeezed sources and a circuit, and very technically challenging to avoid photon loss and to maintain interferometric stability. Here, I propose to carry out Gaussian Boson Sampling and related experiments by directly generating multi-mode squeezed states encoded in frequency, from a single source with reconfigurable frequency correlations. Using frequency channels to represent the modes is very compact because they can all propagate along the same spatial path, and this also ensures interferometric stability. Directly generating the desired state will avoid having the photons propagate through a lossy circuit, allowing scaling to higher photon numbers, and frequency encoding will make large numbers of modes readily available, surpassing the state-of-the-art in spatially-encoded circuits.

In-Mouth drilling robots for automating tooth repair and scaling dentist revenues

Dental caries and severe periodontal disease are major contributors to the loss of natural teeth. About 30% of Europeans aged 65–74 years have no natural teeth which reduce their function and quality of life. Nowadays, the most commonly used teeth replacement procedures are prosthetics and implants. While prosthetics are more affordable and versatile, when they require the reshaping of the teeth the procedure can take longer and there is a higher risk of malpractice because of the inaccuracies of the manual procedure. This can cause various side effects from a less durable prosthesis to the loss of the teeth. 
DentistRobot Ltd was set up with the main aim to eliminate the inaccuracies by introducing robot technology to the dental industry with our combined software and hardware solution that has been protected with a copyright. It simplifies and improves the process of several teeth replacement procedures reducing the chance of malpractice and improving the patient's satisfaction while increases the number of patients served during a given time. Right now we have a working prototype, and we want to test the procedure in a real patient's mouth. We intend to enter the market within 2 years. 
To achieve our goals, we have to re-evaluate some of our technical decisions as well as our market researches. We also would like to extend our knowledge about the current legislation processes within the European Union (and beyond). In order to enter the market fast and to be able to supply the demand we are considering making partnerships with manufacturing and distributor companies.
For this reason we have decided to apply for the SME Instrument Phase 1 program. With this extended knowledge, we aim to submit a Phase 2 project to develop and implement a production line for the robot and to build an international sales network to distribute the final product.
Volumental - the cloud-delivered 3d scanning service supporting a future of mass customization

Volumental is currently building, and delivering, leading software technology that enables the 3D scanning of objects, (e.g. bodies), using both current and emerging camera technologies. The resulting accurate scans can be readily used by mainstream 3D software systems & packages.

Volumental is currently focusing on the mass customization market, even though Volumental technology itself is broadly applicable. We sell software solutions B2B to e.g. footwear brands that can use 3D body data to customize e.g. shoes to the multibillion footwear market. We have a number of partners and pilot customers in this field already, among them US footwear brands and the worlds largest hardware manufacturers in our field.

Enabling technology development of mass customization in Europe offers the opportunity to move production products that touch the human body back to European markets as well as building technology leadership within fields such as 3D scanning and 3D printing.

The key differentiator for Volumental is that our proprietary software algorithms can produce high-accuracy 3D models using inexpensive hardware. Further on we excel in ease of use, having a cloud service and have a sustainable competitive advantage in the technology leadership our team has shown and continue to show.

For the Horizon 2020 project Volumental’s high-level goal is to turn our technology and prototypes into fully functional products in their final end-user configuration. This translates to taking the products to TLR 8. This will require significant R&D to achieve – mainly focused at improving robustness, free-hand accuracy, mobile phone scanning and API development. This R&D will result in additional inventions, so the project also aims to protect current and resulting inventions by analysing the current patent situation and filing relevant patents. The R&D in this project will follow an agile methodology and will be tightly linked to customer needs and envisioned products.
Custom-Made Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided-Manufacturing Biphasic Calcium-Phosphate Scaffold for Augmentation of an Atrophic Mandibular Anterior Ridge

This report documents the clinical, radiographic, and histologic outcome of a custom-made computer-aided-design/computer-aided-manufactured (CAD/CAM) scaffold used for the alveolar ridge augmentation of a severely atrophic anterior mandible. Computed tomographic (CT) images of an atrophic anterior mandible were acquired and modified into a 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model; this was transferred to a CAD program, where a custom-made scaffold was designed. CAM software generated a set of tool-paths for the manufacture of the scaffold on a computer-numerical-control milling machine into the exact shape of the 3D design. A custom-made scaffold was milled from a synthetic micromacroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) block. The scaffold closely matched the shape of the defect: this helped to reduce the time for the surgery and contributed to good healing. One year later, newly formed and well-integrated bone was clinically available, and two implants (AnyRidge, MegaGen, Gyeongbuk, South Korea) were placed. The histologic samples retrieved from the implant sites revealed compact mature bone undergoing remodelling, marrow spaces, and newly formed trabecular bone surrounded by residual BCP particles. This study demonstrates that custom-made scaffolds can be fabricated by combining CT scans and CAD/CAM techniques. Further studies on a larger sample of patients are needed to confirm these results.

Improving neural network performance on SIMD architectures

Neural network calculations for the image recognition problems can be very time consuming. In this paper we propose three methods of increasing neural network performance on SIMD architectures. The usage of SIMD extensions is a way to speed up neural network processing available for a number of modern CPUs. In our experiments, we use ARM NEON as SIMD architecture example. The first method deals with half float data type for matrix computations. The second method describes fixed-point data type for the same purpose. The third method considers vectorized activation functions implementation. For each method we set up a series of experiments for convolutional and fully connected networks designed for image recognition task.

Okun’s Law over the Business Cycle: Was the Great Recession All That Different?

In 1962, Arthur Okun posited an empirical relationship between the change in the unemployment rate and real output growth. Since then, the media, policymakers, pundits, and intermediate macro students have used the so-called Okun’s law as a rule of thumb to relate changes in unemployment to changes in output growth. However, some studies have suggested that the relationship has not been stable over time. Furthermore, the slow recovery of U.S. unemployment relative to output after the Great Recession has led some to question whether Okun’s law has changed permanently. In this light, the authors reconsider the evidence on instability in Okun’s law and, in particular, examine whether the Great Recession has contributed to the breakdown of the empirical relationship.

Monitoring System for Prisoner with GPS using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)

In day today’s life security is a very important thing in the world. For better achievement of security advanced technology have been undertaken in correctional facilities. Various security devices like CCTV, Tracking bracelets, ID barcode scanning and other devices have contributed to the improved and secure management. The aim of this paper is to invent a security system against prisoner by using RF Transmitter and receiver technology. It is based on RF Transmitter and Receiver technology on ultra high frequency range which can be applied to use in access control by using RF Transmitter and Receiver tag. The RF Transmitter and Receiver tag contains a unique set of number as a code, so it can be identified. The RF Transmitter will act as the bracelet and the RF Receiver will be at the server side. For keeping the track of prisoner Global Positioning System (GPS) is used. This technology can be used for monitoring the prisoners in the jail, patients in the hospitals or mental asylums who basically try to escape or run away from jails and mental asylums. It tracks the particular person wearing the bracelet within its range and as soon as it’s outside the range the GPS connected to the bracelet gets activated and we can track that particular person with the help of GPS on the bracelet. It’s also very useful in the schools for students and the staff, colleges, employees in the offices and etc where we need to keep track of someone’s presence. There is no need of keeping continuous watch due to this technology, for example if the prisoner runs away from the jail a message will be sent to the jailer and buzzer will ring. Due to this technique it will be easy for monitoring purpose.
