Abstract: A computer implemented method and a machine learning model for predicting the likelihood that a subject having breast cancer will experience a relapse following treatment, predicting a tumor within a whole slide image, and/or predicting a status of a biomarker in breast cancer tissue is provided.

Abstract: A method for the laser reinforced direct bonding of two optical components having a respective bonding surface and a reinforced optical assembly made thereby are provided. The method includes a first step of assembling the two optical components by direct bonding of their respective bonding surface together, thereby defining a direct-bonded interface therebetween. The method further includes a second step of reinforcing the direct-bonded interface with a weld seam including at least one substantially continuous reinforcing weld line forming a closed shape enclosing a sealed direct-bonded region. Each weld line is inscribed by focusing ultrashort laser pulses at the direct-bonding interface so as to generate non-linear optical phenomena inducing a localized junction between the two optical components.

The method includes a first step of assembling the two optical components by direct bonding of their respective bonding surface together, thereby defining a direct-bonded interface therebetween. The method further includes a second step of reinforcing the direct-bonded interface with a weld seam including at least one substantially continuous reinforcing weld line forming a dosed shape enclosing a sealed direct-bonded region. Each weld line is inscribed by focusing ultrashort laser pulses at the direct-bonding interface so as to generate non-linear optical phenomena inducing a localized junction between the two optical components.

Abstract: A nanocomposite, comprising single-wall and/or multi-wall one-dimensional nanomaterials, and at least one nanooxide of at least one transition metal, said nanooxide filling said nanotubes and covering their walls. A process for preparing such a nanocomposite and an optical limiting device comprising such a nanocomposite in suspension in a medium that is transparent to visible and infrared radiation are disclosed.

Abstract: An optical mine clearance probe comprising a handle that is extended through a rod having a geometrical axis and adapted to be driven into a soil to search through it and including a first tubular part, a second part consisting of a movable rod end part including slots adapted to constitute at least two sectors and a mechanism capable of displacing the movable rod end between two extreme positions. One of the positions being one where a part of the rod end constitutes an extremity of the probe, the at least two sectors being adjacent one another in pairs and defining a conical member ending with a tip, and the other position being one in which extremities of the at least two sectors are spread apart from one another, the rod end then being of tubular shape.
