RESUMEN

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging retrieves the hidden scenes by utilizing the signals indirectly reflected by the relay wall. Benefiting from the picosecond-level timing accuracy, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) based NLOS imaging can achieve theoretical spatial resolutions up to millimeter level. However, in practical applications, the total temporal resolution (also known as total time jitter, TTJ) of most current TCSPC systems exceeds hundreds of picoseconds due to the combined effects of multiple electronic devices, which restricts the underlying spatial resolution of NLOS imaging. In this paper, an instrument response function deconvolution (IRF-DC) method is proposed to overcome the constraints of a TCSPC system's TTJ on the spatial resolution of NLOS imaging. Specifically, we model the transient measurements as Poisson convolution process with the normalized IRF as convolution kernel, and solve the inverse problem with iterative deconvolution algorithm, which significantly improves the spatial resolution of NLOS imaging after reconstruction. Numerical simulations show that the IRF-DC facilitates light-cone transform and frequency-wavenumber migration solver to achieve successful reconstruction even when the system's TTJ reaches 1200 ps, which is equivalent to what was previously possible when TTJ was about 200 ps. In addition, the IRF-DC produces satisfactory reconstruction outcomes when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed method has also been experimentally verified. The proposed IRF-DC method is highly applicable and efficient, which may promote the development of high-resolution NLOS imaging.

RESUMEN

Bombyx mori cecropin A (Bmcecropin A) has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-filamentous fungal and tumour cell inhibition activities and is considered a potential succedaneum for antibiotics. We clarified the antibacterial mechanism and structure-activity relationships and then directed the structure-activity optimization of Bmcecropin A. Firstly, we found Bmcecropin A shows a strong binding force and permeability to cell membranes like a detergent; Bmcecropin A could competitively bind to the cell membrane with the cell membrane-specific dye DiI, then damaged the membrane for the access of DiI into the cytoplasm and leading to the leakage of electrolyte and proteins. Secondly, we found Bmcopropin A could also bind to and degrade DNA; furthermore, DNA library polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results indicated that Bmcecropin A inhibited DNA replication by non-specific binding. In addition, we have identified C-terminus amidation and serine-lysine- glycine (SLG) amino acids of Bmcecropin A played critical roles in the membrane damage and DNA degradation. Based on the above results, we designed a mutant of Bmcecropin A (E9 to H, D17 to K, K33 to A), which showed higher antibacterial activity, thermostability and pH stability than ampicillin but no haemolytic activity. Finally, we speculated that Bmcecropin A damaged the cell membrane through a carpet model and drew the schematic diagram of its antibacterial mechanism, based on the antibacterial mechanism and the three-dimensional configuration. These findings yield insights into the mechanism of antimicrobial peptide-pathogen interaction and beneficial for the development of new antibiotics.

RESUMEN

In this Letter, we propose a new, to the best of our knowledge, approach to generate computer-generated holograms (CGHs) utilizing spiral phase coding. This method can be applied to generate an array spiral phase plate that can generate array vortex spots with a high compression ratio. Moreover, the method extends its applicability to the generation of Fresnel holograms and kinoforms, resulting in edge-enhanced imaging. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the potential of spiral phase-encoded CGHs in laser processing and image enhancement.

RESUMEN

Non-line-of-sight (NLoS) imaging reveals a hidden scene using indirect diffuse reflections. A common choice for analyzing the time-of-flight (ToF) data from a non-confocal system is an ellipsoid model whose operator is high-dimensional, leading to a computationally arduous task. In this Letter, the product-convolution expansions method is utilized to formulate the operator and its adjoint based on the observation of a shift-variant point spread function (PSF) in the ToF data. The operator and its adjoint are locally approximated as a convolution, which allows the forward and backward procedure to be computed efficiently through fast Fourier transform (FFT). Moreover, the low-rank approximation of the operator is obtained by matrix decompositions, further improving the computational efficiency. The proposed method is validated using publicly accessible datasets.
