Microorganisms constantly transition between environments with dramatically different external osmolarities. However, theories of microbial osmoresponse integrating physical constraints and biological regulations are lacking. Here, we propose such a theory, utilizing the separation of timescales for...

A direct-detection 3-D imaging lidar is capable of acquiring a depth image of noncooperative targets in long distance, using Geiger mode avalanche photodiodes and the technique of time-correlated single-photon counting. However, conventional 3-D imaging lidar has a long data acquisition time. This p...

Whole brain radiotherapy has been a standard treatment of brain metastases. Stereotactic radiosurgery provides more focal and aggressive radiation and normal tissue sparing but worse local and distant control. This meta-analysis was performed to assess and compare the effectiveness of whole brain ra...

For active optical imaging, the use of single-photon detectors can greatly improve the detection sensitivity of the system. However, the traditional maximum-likelihood based imaging method needs a long acquisition time to capture clear 3-D image at low light levels. To tackle this problem, we presen...
