Video fusion aims to synthesize video footage from different sources into a unified, coherent output. It plays a key role in areas such as video editing and special effects production. The challenge is to ensure the quality and naturalness of synthetic video, especially when dealing with footage of different sources and qualities. Researchers continue to strive to optimize algorithms to adapt to a variety of complex application scenarios and improve the effectiveness and applicability of video fusion. We introduce an algorithm based on a convolution pyramid and propose a 3D video fusion algorithm that looks for the potential function closest to the gradient field in the least square sense...

The Jones matrix and the Mueller matrix of the coherent Rayleigh backscattering (RB) in single-mode fibers (SMFs) have been derived recently. It has been shown that both matrices depict two polarization effects-birefringence and polarization-dependent loss (PDL)-although the SMF under investigation is purely birefringent, having no PDL. In this paper, we aim to perform a theoretical analysis of both matrices using polar decomposition. The derived sub-Jones/Mueller matrices, representing birefringence and PDL, respectively, can be used to investigate the polarization properties of the coherent RB...

Entangled coherent states play pivotal roles in various fields such as quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum sensing. We experimentally demonstrate the generation of entangled coherent states with the two-dimensional motion of a trapped ion system. Using Raman transitions with appropriate detunings, we simultaneously drive the red and blue sidebands of the two transverse axes of a single trapped ion and observe multi-periodic entanglement and disentanglement of its spin and two-dimensional motion...

Trapped ions in radio-frequency traps are among the leading approaches for realizing quantum computers, because of high-fidelity quantum gates and long coherence times1-3 . However, the use of radio-frequencies presents several challenges to scaling, including requiring compatibility of chips with high voltages4 , managing power dissipation5 and restricting transport and placement of ions6 . Here we realize a micro-fabricated Penning ion trap that removes these restrictions by replacing the radio-frequency field with a 3 T magnetic field...

Many concepts for future generations of wireless communication systems use coherent processing of signals from many distributed antennas. The aim is to improve communication reliability, capacity, and energy efficiency and provide possibilities for new applications through integrated communication and sensing. The large bandwidths available in the higher bands have inspired much work regarding sensing in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-THz bands; however, the sub-6 GHz cellular bands will still be the main provider of wide cellular coverage due to the more favorable propagation conditions...

The sense of direction is critical for survival in changing environments and relies on flexibly integrating self-motion signals with external sensory cues. While the anatomical substrates involved in head direction (HD) coding are well known, the mechanisms by which visual information updates HD representations remain poorly understood. Retrosplenial cortex (RSC) plays a key role in forming coherent representations of space in mammals and it encodes a variety of navigational variables, including HD. Here, we use simultaneous two-area tetrode recording to show that RSC HD representation is nearly synchronous with that of the anterodorsal nucleus of thalamus (ADn), the obligatory thalamic relay of HD to cortex, during rotation of a prominent visual cue...

INTRODUCTION: The notion of satisfaction with the use of one's time has not been operationalized previously. Based on qualitative interviews, we propose a concept of positive time use comprised by four components: self-congruence of daily activities, balance between activities, efficient use of time, and a sense of mastery over one's time. METHODS: Using data from two UK adult samples ( N  = 173 and N  = 357), we developed a new measure, Positive Time Use Inventory (PTUI), and investigated its structural and convergent validity...

INTRODUCTION: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus (GP) is an established therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). Novel DBS devices can record local field potential (LFP) physiomarkers from the STN or GP. While beta (13-30 Hz) and gamma (40-90 Hz) STN and GP LFP oscillations correlate with PD motor severity and with therapeutic effects of treatments, STN-GP interactions in electrophysiology in patients with PD are not well characterized...
