Abstract

The stochastic nuclear quadrupole resonance (sNQR) data model is introduced and its benefits as compared to conventional NQR are discussed. The results have shown that the detectors are constant false alarm rate (CFAR) with respect to the noise power, when radio frequency interference (RFI) is absent, and approximately CFAR with respect to the unknown interference, when RFI is present.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with cancer are purported to have poor COVID-19 outcomes. However, cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases, encompassing a spectrum of tumour subtypes. The aim of this study was to investigate COVID-19 risk according to tumour subtype and patient demographics in patients with cancer in the UK. METHODS: We compared adult patients with cancer enrolled in the UK Coronavirus Cancer Monitoring Project (UKCCMP) cohort between March 18 and May 8, 2020, with a parallel non-COVID-19 UK cancer control population from the UK Office for National Statistics (2017 data). The primary outcome of the study was the effect of primary tumour subtype, age, and sex and on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) prevalence and the case-fatality rate during hospital admission. We analysed the effect of tumour subtype and patient demographics (age and sex) on prevalence and mortality from COVID-19 using univariable and multivariable models. FINDINGS: 319 (30·6%) of 1044 patients in the UKCCMP cohort died, 295 (92·5%) of whom had a cause of death recorded as due to COVID-19. The all-cause case-fatality rate in patients with cancer after SARS-CoV-2 infection was significantly associated with increasing age, rising from 0·10 in patients aged 40-49 years to 0·48 in those aged 80 years and older. Patients with haematological malignancies (leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma) had a more severe COVID-19 trajectory compared with patients with solid organ tumours (odds ratio [OR] 1·57, 95% CI 1·15-2·15; p

3. Exploiting temperature dependency in the detection of NQR signals

Abstract

An approximate maximum-likelihood detector (AML) is developed, exploiting the temperature dependency of the nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) frequencies as a means to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Numerical evaluation using both simulated and real NQR data indicate a significant gain in probability of accurate detection as compared with the current state-of-art approach.

Abstract

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) offers an unequivocal method of detecting and identifying both hidden explosives, such as land mines, and a variety of narcotics. Unfortunately, the practical use of NQR is restricted by a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and means to improve the SNR are vital to enable a rapid, reliable, and convenient system. In this paper, we introduce a frequency-selective approximate maximum-likelihood (FSAML) detector, operating on a subset of the available frequencies, making it robust to the typically present narrow-band interference. The method exploits the inherent temperature dependency of the NQR frequencies as a way to enhance the SNR. Numerical evaluations, using both simulated and real NQR data, indicate a significant gain in probability of accurate detection as compared to a current state-of-the-art approach. Index Terms--Buried-object detection, chemistry, multidimensional signal processing, signal detection.
