Simulation framework for integrated nonlinear quantum photonics
Nonlinear quantum photonics serves as a cornerstone in photonic quantum technologies, such as universal quantum computing and quantum communications. The emergence of integrated photonics platform not only offers the advantage of large-scale manufacturing but also provides a variety of engineering methods. Given the complexity of integrated photonics engineering, a comprehensive simulation framework is essential to fully harness the potential of the platform. In this context, we introduce a non…

Abstract: In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been widely used in medicine, particularly in the analysis of medical imaging, which has been driven by advances in computer vision and deep learning methods. This is particularly important in overcoming the challenges posed by diseases such as Bone Metastases (BM), a common and complex malignancy of the bones. Indeed, there have been an increasing interest in developing Machine Learning (ML) techniques into oncologic imaging for BM analysis. In order to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art and advancements for BM analysis using artificial intelligence, this review is conducted with the accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Firstly, this review highlights the clinical and oncologic perspectives of BM and the used medical imaging modalities, with discussing their advantages and limitations. Then the review focuses on modern approaches with considering the main BM analysis tasks, which includes: classification, detection and segmentation. The results analysis show that ML technologies can achieve promising performance for BM analysis and have significant potential to improve clinician efficiency and cope with time and cost limitations. Furthermore, there are requirements for further research to validate the clinical performance of ML tools and facilitate their integration into routine clinical practice.

Waarom lijken de problemen met het Nederlandse stroomnet maar niet opgelost te worden? Een deel van de puzzel schuilt erin dat op politiek niveau veel weerstand is tegen simpele, bewezen effectieve oplossingen.
Vergelijk bijvoorbeeld de tweets van de VVD-woordvoerder op dit onderwerp (en de partijsite) met deze recente column van Matthijs Bouman in het FD:

Vergeten prijsmechanisme
Laadpalen die uit moeten, NS in het rood? Zonder prijsmechanisme gaat alles moeizamer, betoogt Mathijs Bouman.

Potentials of Green Coding -- Findings and Recommendations for Industry, Education and Science -- Extended Paper
Progressing digitalization and increasing demand and use of software cause rises in energy- and resource consumption from information and communication technologies (ICT). This raises the issue of sustainability in ICT, which increasingly includes the sustainability of the software products themselves and the art of creating sustainable software. To this end, we conducted an analysis to gather and present existing literature on three research questions relating to the production of ecologically…
