Abstract Background In the present study, we wanted to explore which metaphors patients suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD) use to explain their experience of being in therapy and their improvement from depression.Methods Patients with MDD (N = 22) received either psychodynamic therapy (PDT) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).They wer
Energy harvesting (EH) has been considered as a promising technology to solve the constrained energy problem in the devices of IoT with its advantages of flexible deployment and sustainable energy supply.For multiple access channel with energy harvesting,a hybrid energy storage structure model composed by super capacitor and battery was proposed fo
We propose a liquid-crystal-based reconfigurable chiral metasurface absorber and numerically investigate its chiro-optical properties.The chiral metasurface absorber consists of a metal-insulator-metal structure with the substrate, which can strongly absorb a circularly polarized wave of one spin state and reflects that of the opposite spin, result
This paper presents a dataset of 4507 annotated images of African plums collected across diverse regions in Cameroon, marking the first dataset specifically designed for AI-driven quality assessment of this fruit.The dataset is categorized into six quality grades: unaffected, bruised, cracked, rotten, spotted, and unripe.These categories represent
