Deep learning-based auto-segmentation models, trained on anatomical definitions, may not match local clinicians' styles at new institutions. Adapting these models can be challenging without sufficient resources. We hypothesize that consistent differences between segmentation styles and anatomical definitions can be learned from initial patients and applied to pre-trained models for more precise segmentation. We propose a Prior-guided deep difference meta-learner (DDL) to learn and adapt these differences. We collected data from 440 patients for model development and 30 for testing. The dataset includes contours of the prostate clinical target volume (CTV), parotid, and rectum. We developed a deep learning framework that segments new images with a matching style using example styles as a prior, without model retraining. The pre-trained segmentation models were adapted to three different clinician styles for post-operative CTV for prostate, parotid gland, and rectum segmentation. We tested the model's ability to learn unseen styles and compared its performance with transfer learning, using varying amounts of prior patient style data (0-10 patients). Performance was quantitatively evaluated using dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff distance. With exposure to only three patients for the model, the average DSC (%) improved from 78.6, 71.9, 63.0, 69.6, 52.2 and 46.3-84.4, 77.8, 73.0, 77.8, 70.5, 68.1, for CTV<sub>style1</sub>, CTV<sub>style2</sub>, CTV<sub>style3</sub>, Parotid<sub>superficial</sub>, Rectum<sub>superior</sub>, and Rectum<sub>posterior</sub>, respectively.

In the traditional method for solving the HME using the split-step Fourier transform, the gain chip is considered as an operator in the frequency domain. However, this approach does not adequately address how variations in the pump power affect the laser output and carrier density. On the other hand, the TWM provides a detailed modeling of laser outputs and carrier density rates based on the parameters of the gain and absorber chips. However, this approach is not suitable for long-cavity configurations due to the exceptionally large processing volume required. The method introduced in this paper resolves this problem by coupling the HME with the TWM equations, thereby accurately determining how laser output and carrier density depend on parameters such as pump power and chip structure. In this regard, we designed a Z-type cavity configuration using this model to achieve a stable pulse train with a duration of 795 fs and an average output power of 900 mW, operating at a pulse repetition rate of 892.5 MHz corresponding to 1.13 kW peak power. This model can analyze the dynamics of the carrier density and output pulse of laser, as well as identify regions of pulse instability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of coupling the HME with TWM to achieve kilowatt peak power pulses in passively mode-locked VECSELs, while also investigating the effect of optical pump power on the formation of the output pulse and the rate of change of carrier density within the active medium and the SESAM.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19511,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 113343"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144306830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each electroacoustic resonator is composed by a loudspeaker and four microphones in a compact design, allowing to synthesize tunable local impedance behaviours thanks to a current-driven control strategy. A steel wiremesh mounted onto a perforated plate allows to protect the elctromechanical devices from the aerodynamic disturbances. For the first time, such advanced liner concept has been tested in a scaled turbofan rig: the ECL-B3 PHARE-2 in the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics of the Ecole Centrale of Lyon.

The electroacoustic technology demonstrated robustness faced with a realistic reproduction of actual turbofan conditions, as well as its tunability to target different frequency bandwidth, attaining good radiated noise reduction.

One effective solution is a learning method via Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), together with <em>ab initio</em> Galerkin projection of the Schrӧdinger equation. POD-Galerkin projects the problem onto a reduced-order space with the POD basis representing electron wave functions (WFs) guided by the first principles in simulations. To minimize training effort and enhance robustness of POD-Galerkin in larger structures, the quantum element method (QEM) was proposed previously, which partitions nanostructures into generic quantum elements. Larger nanostructures can then be constructed by the trained generic quantum elements, each of which is represented by its POD-Galerkin model. This work investigates QEM-Galerkin thoroughly in multi-element quantum-dot (QD) structures on approaches to further improve training effectiveness and simulation accuracy and efficiency for QEM-Galerkin. To further improve computing speed, POD and Fourier bases for periodic potentials are also examined in QEM-Galerkin simulations. Results indicate that, considering efficiency and accuracy, the POD potential basis is superior to the Fourier potential basis even for periodic potentials.
