In this article, we focus on a generic multiterminal (remote) source coding scenario in which, via a joint design, several intermediate nodes must locally compress their noisy observations from various sets of user / source signals ahead of forwarding them through multiple error-free and rate-limited channels to a (remote) processing unit.Although
Background Cash Transfer (CT) programmes can improve maternal and child health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.However, studies assessing the effectiveness of these programmes on maternal and child health outcomes (MCH), beyond nutritional outcomes and service utilisation, remain inconclusive.Objectives We synthesized current empirical
Historically, empirical relations are the basis of everyday foundation design.These relations, however, rely on specific datasets, which may not represent the true conditions observed in the field.Even in situ tests rely on empirical correlation formulas, which link observed phenomena to soil properties.These correlations should be updated accordin
Full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is a fast, en face interferometric technique that allows imaging inside a scattering tissue with high spatial resolution.However, camera-based detection, which lacks confocal gating, results in a suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).To Staple Guns address this, we implemented a time-domain FF-OCT s
Reliable techniques to generate accurate data sets of human built-up areas at national, regional, and global scales are a key factor to monitor the implementation progress of the Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the United Nations.However, the scarce availability of accurate and up-to-date human settlement data Earrings remains a major c
