In recent years, advancements in plasmonic devices have enabled the localization of electromagnetic fields at subwavelength scales, contributing to breakthroughs in various scientific and engineering fields (J. C. Ndukaife, et al., ACS Nano, 2014,8,9,9035-9043). These structures are often made of metals and their electric properties are typically represented by the classical Drude model (S. A. Maier, 2007, Springer, New York). As the size of the plasmonic structures approaches the nanoscale, the classical Drude model falls short in explaining the collective movement of free electrons in metals. The interaction between moving charges and the electromagnetic fields can be described by a coupled system of the Maxwell and hydrodynamic equations (X. Zheng, et al., IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag., 2018,66,9, 4759-4771).

While many methods have been proposed for detecting disease outbreaks from pre-diagnostic data, their performance is usually not well understood. In this paper, we describe the relationship between forecast accuracy and the detection accuracy of a method. We argue that most existing temporal detection methods for biosurveillance can be characterized as a forecasting component coupled with a monitoring/detection component. We show that improved forecasting results in improved detection and we quantify the relationship between forecast accuracy and detection metrics under different scenarios. The forecast accuracy can then be used to rate an algorithm's expected performance in detecting outbreaks. Simulation is used to compare empirical performance with theoretical results; we also show examples with authentic biosurveillance data.

A parallel method developed for reconstructing images from holograms obtained with optical scanning holography is presented. A standard portable message-passing library, MPI or message-passing interface, is used to provide the environment of parallel programming. The parallel method is implemented using a network of workstations. The process of reconstructing images with twin-image removal from holograms is performed in parallel with respect to different reconstruction planes of interest. This process contributes to possible faster three-dimensional object identification to be investigated in future research.

Models for the observational appearance of astrophysical black holes rely critically on accurate general-relativistic ray tracing and radiation transport to compute the intensity measured by a distant observer. In this paper, we illustrate how the choice of coordinates and initial conditions affect this process. In particular, we show that propagating rays from the camera to the source leads to different solutions if the spatial part of the momentum of the photon points towards the horizon or away from it. In doing this, we also show that coordinates that are well suited for numerical general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations are typically not optimal for generic ray tracing. We discuss the implications for black hole images and show that radiation transport in optimal and nonoptimal spacetime coordinates lead to the same images up to numerical errors and algorithmic choices.
We investigate statistical properties of a likelihood approach to nonparametric estimation of a singular distribution using deep generative models. More specifically, a deep generative model is used to model high-dime...

Bistable structures associated with nonlinear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuation. Despite numerous efforts in modeling such large deformation behavior of shells, the roles of mechanical and nonlinear geometric effects on bistability remain elusive. We demonstrate, through both theoretical analysis and tabletop experiments, that two dimensionless parameters control bistability. Our work classifies the conditions for bistability, and extends the large deformation theory of plates and shells.
