Autozeroed bias circuit to enhance gain and uniformity of THz FET detectors for imaging

Terahertz focal plane arrays (THz FPAs) based on field-effect transistor (FET) detectors enable compact imaging within monolithic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chips. However, pixel uniformity is difficult to achieve due to the near-threshold optimal operation of the device, leading to strong pixel-to-pixel variations caused by CMOS manufacturing process and operating temperature. Additionally, imager readouts must meet stringent noise requirements as a result of the extremel...

3D Forest Semantic Segmentation Using Multispectral LiDAR and 3D Deep Learning

Regular forest inventory is essential for conservation and management. Over the past decades, laser scanning has emerged as a remote and non-destructive solution to streamline this laborious process. Advanced multispectral (MS) laser scanning systems simultaneously acquire 3D spatial and spectral information across multiple wavelengths, enabling estimation of forest biophysical and biochemical traits. This study investigates the potential of airborne MS laser scanning for fine-grained forest ...

DEMETRA: An ACT-Based Virtual Coach to Support Healthier Lifestyles in Overweight Pregnant Women—Protocol for a Feasibility Pilot Study

During pregnancy, women are more inclined to modify their habits and lifestyle to find a new balance and promote well-being for themselves and the child-to-be. However, the availability of nutritional and psychological support is often limited by stigma, geographic barriers, and a lack of services. Digital health tools are emerging as possible solutions to cover these needs. This study explores the acceptability, feasibility, and user experience of Demetra, a virtual coach based on Acceptance...
