Human Deep Skin Surface Vibration Frequency Detection from CT and DT Signals Using Genetic Algorithms
Abstract: To diagnose respiratory problems early on, a contactless, non-invasive, real-time assessment of human vibration is a crucial prerequisite. Optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) and the forced oscillation technique (FOT), are two widely utilized methodologies, depending on variations in each patient’s local chest impedance. Calibration of the devices before each measurement is hence the primary problem of these approaches. This report presents a simulation-based analysis to assess the effectiveness of the CT and …

Cutting- Edge Gravitational-Wave Detectors: Technology & Innovations
Abstract: Gravitational wave detectors using laser interferometry are sophisticated instruments designed to measure the ripples in spacetime caused by cosmic events such as the merging of black holes or neutron stars. This schematic outlines the fundamental components and working principle of a typical laser interferometric gravitational wave detector, such as those used in the LIGO and Virgo observatories. The core of the detector is an interferometer, typically a Michelson interferometer, with …

Gravitational Wave Astronomy (2015–2026): From Historic Discoveries to Quantum Detection Frontiers
Abstract: Since the landmark detection of GW150914 by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in 2015, gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has transitioned from a theoretical frontier to a robust observational science. This breakthrough confirmed a major prediction of General Relativity and inaugurated an entirely new method for observing the universe. Over the past decade, continuous upgrades to ground-based interferometers such as LIGO, Virgo Collaboration, and KAGRA have dramatically improved detector sensitivity, enabling the …

Gravitational Waves: Heralding a Transformative and Unprecedented Era in Astrophysical Observation and Exploration
Abstract: Gravitational waves, first theorized by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity in 1916, are disturbances in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects. Their first direct observation in 2015 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) marked a groundbreaking achievement in astrophysics and created a new way to explore the universe. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of gravitational waves, including their theoretical foundation, sources, detection techniques, and implications …

Survey on Retinal OCT Image Preprocessing, Segmentation, and Deep Learning Based Classification
Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique that generates high-resolution, detailed cross-sectional images of biological tissues. By utilizing low-coherence interferometry, OCT enables visualization of tissue microstructure with micron-scale resolution, making it useful in various medical fields such as ophthalmology, cardiology, and dermatology. In ophthalmology, OCT is extensively used for diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, allowing doctors to assess changes in tissue morphology over …
