Dekker explored radiomics, particularly in non-small-cell lung cancer imaging, addressing the challenges of extracting quantitative features from medical images to develop diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive models integrating biological and medical data. Collaborating with a team of researchers, he conducted a radiomic analysis of 1,019 patients with lung or head-and-neck cancer using computed tomography (CT) imaging data, identifying prognostic radiomic features that showed significant power in independent datasets of the cancer patients. Additionally, in describing the concept and potential of radiomics in cancer research, he and his collaborators proposed guidelines to enhance the scientific integrity and clinical relevance of radiomics investigations. Furthermore, his systematic review assessed the reproducibility of radiomic features used in cancer imaging for clinical decision making, noting that feature stability is influenced by factors such as image acquisition settings, reconstruction algorithms, and preprocessing methods.

Dekker introduced a method for analyzing plethysmographic signals to identify heart rate variability parameters linked to respiration rate, leading to an improved pulse oximeter functionality for noninvasive respiration rate monitoring. His development of an apparatus resulted in an approved patent for monitoring secondary physiological processes by analyzing optical signal variations. He then presented a method utilizing photoplethysmography to gather physiological parameters, involving filtering and analyzing pleth signals to identify components of interest for determining respiratory parameters.

In statistical mechanics, the random-subcube model (RSM) is an exactly solvable model that reproduces key properties of hard constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and optimization problems, such as geometrical organization of solutions, the effects of frozen variables, and the limitations of various algorithms like decimation schemes.

The RSM consists of a set of N binary variables, where solutions are defined as points in a hypercube. The model introduces clusters, which are random subcubes of the hypercube, representing groups of solutions sharing specific characteristics. As the density of constraints increases, the solution space undergoes a series of phase transitions similar to those observed in CSPs like random k-satisfiability (k-SAT) and random k-coloring (k-COL). These transitions include clustering, condensation, and ultimately the unsatisfiable phase where no solutions exist.

The RSM is equivalent to these real CSPs in the limit of large constraint size. Notably, it reproduces the cluster size distribution and freezing properties of k-SAT and k-COL in the large-k limit. This is similar to how the random energy model is the large-p limit of the p-spin glass model.

By the Chebyshev inequality, if Σ Σ > 0 , then n ( s ) concentrates to its mean value. Otherwise, since E [ n ( s ) ] → → 0 , n ( s ) also concentrates to 0 by the Markov inequality.

For each state, the number of clusters it is in is also binomially distributed, with expectation 2 ( 1 − − α α ) N ( 1 − − p / 2 ) N = 2 N ( log 2 ⁡ ⁡ ( 2 − − p ) − − α α )

So if α α < log 2 ⁡ ⁡ ( 2 − − p ) , then it concentrates to 2 N ( log 2 ⁡ ⁡ ( 2 − − p ) − − α α ) , and so each state is in an exponential number of clusters.

If α α > α α d := log 2 ⁡ ⁡ ( 2 − − p ) , then it concentrates to zero exponentially, and so most states are not in any cluster. Those that do are exponentially unlikely to be in more than one. Thus, we find that almost all states are in zero clusters, and of those in at least one cluster, almost all are in just one cluster. The state space is thus roughly speaking the disjoint union of the clusters.

Almost surely, there are n ( s ) = 2 N Σ Σ ( s ) clusters of size 2 N s , therefore, the state space is dominated by clusters with optimal entropy density s ∗ ∗ = arg ⁡ ⁡ max s ( Σ Σ ( s ) + s ) .

Thus, in the clustered phase, the state space is almost entirely partitioned among 2 N Σ Σ ( s ∗ ∗ ) clusters of size 2 N s ∗ ∗ each. Roughly, the state space looks like exponentially many equally-sized clusters.

Another phase transition occurs when Σ Σ ( s ∗ ∗ ) = 0 , that is, α α = α α c := p ( 2 − − p ) + log 2 ⁡ ⁡ ( 2 − − p ) When α α > α α c , the optimal entropy density becomes unreachable, as there almost surely exists zero clusters with entropy density s ∗ ∗ . Instead, the state space is dominated by clusters with entropy close to s c , the larger solution to Σ Σ ( s c ) = 0 .

Near s c , the contribution of clusters with entropy density s = s c − − δ δ to the total state space is 2 N s ⏟ ⏟ size of clusters × × 2 N Σ Σ ( s ) ⏟ ⏟ number of clusters = 2 N ( s + Σ Σ ( s ) ) = 2 N ( s c − − δ δ − − Σ Σ ′ ( s c ) δ δ ) At large N , the possible entropy densities are s c , s c − − 1 / N , s c − − 2 / N , … … . The contribution of each is 2 N s c , 2 N s c 2 − − ( 1 + Σ Σ ′ ( s c ) ) , 2 N s c 2 − − 2 ( 1 + Σ Σ ′ ( s c ) ) , … …

Thus, we see that for any ϵ ϵ > 0 , at N → → ∞ ∞ limit, over 1 − − ϵ ϵ of the total state space is covered by only a finite number of clusters. The state space looks partitioned into clusters with exponentially decaying sizes. This is the condensation phase.

Nonmetallic material, or in nontechnical terms a nonmetal, refers to materials which are not metals. Depending upon context it is used in slightly different ways. In everyday life it would be a generic term for those materials such as plastics, wood or ceramics which are not typical metals such as the iron alloys used in bridges. In some areas of chemistry, particularly the periodic table, it is used for just those chemical elements which are not metallic at standard temperature and pressure conditions. It is also sometimes used to describe broad classes of dopant atoms in materials. In general usage in science, it refers to materials which do not have electrons that can readily move around, more technically there are no available states at the Fermi energy, the equilibrium energy of electrons. For historical reasons there is a very different definition of metals in astronomy, with just hydrogen and helium as nonmetals. The term may also be used as a negative of the materials of interest such as in metallurgy or metalworking.

Variations in the environment, particularly temperature and pressure can change a nonmetal into a metal, and vica versa; this is always associated with some major change in the structure, a phase transition. Other external stimuli such as electric fields can also lead to a local nonmetal, for instance in certain semiconductor devices. There are also many physical phenomena which are only found in nonmetals such as piezoelectricity or flexoelectricity.

The original approach to conduction and nonmetals was a band-structure with delocalized electrons (i.e. spread out in space). In this approach a nonmetal has a gap in the energy levels of the electrons at the Fermi level. In contrast, a metal would have at least one partially occupied band at the Fermi level; in a semiconductor or insulator there are no delocalized states at the Fermi level, see for instance Ashcroft and Mermin. These definitions are equivalent to stating that metals conduct electricity at absolute zero, as suggested by Nevill Francis Mott, and the equivalent definition at other temperatures is also commonly used as in textbooks such as Chemistry of the Non-Metals by Ralf Steudel and work on metal–insulator transitions.

In early work this band structure interpretation was based upon a single-electron approach with the Fermi level in the band gap as illustrated in the Figure, not including a complete picture of the many-body problem where both exchange and correlation terms can matter, as well as relativistic effects such as spin-orbit coupling. A key addition by Mott and Rudolf Peierls was that these could not be ignored. For instance, nickel oxide would be a metal if a single-electron approach was used, but in fact has quite a large band gap. As of 2024 it is more common to use an approach based upon density functional theory where the many-body terms are included. Rather than single electrons, the filling involves quasiparticles called orbitals, which are the single-particle like solutions for a system with hundreds to thousands of electrons. Although accurate calculations remain a challenge, reasonable results are now available in many cases.

It is also common to nuance somewhat the early definitions of Alan Herries Wilson and Mott. As discussed by both the chemist Peter Edwards and colleagues, as well as Fumiko Yonezawa, it is also important in practice to consider the temperatures at which both metals and nonmetals are used. Yonezawa provides a general definition:

Band structure definitions of metallicity are the most widely used, and apply both to single elements such as insulating boron as well as compounds such as strontium titanate. (There are many compounds which have states at the Fermi level and are metallic, for instance titanium nitride.) There are many experimental methods of checking for nonmetals by measuring the band gap, or by ab-initio quantum mechanical calculations.

An alternative in metallurgy is to consider various malleable alloys such as steel, aluminium alloys and similar as metals, and other materials as nonmetals; fabricating metals is termed metalworking, but there is no corresponding term for nonmetals. A loose definition such as this is often the common useage, but can also be inaccurate. For instance, in this useage plastics are nonmetals, but in fact there are (electrically) conducting polymers which should formally be described as metals. Similar, but slightly more complex, many materials which are (nonmetal) semiconductors behave like metals when they contain a high concentration of dopants, being called degenerate semiconductors. A general introduction to much of this can be found in the 2017 book by Fumiko Yonezawa

The term nonmetal (chemistry) is also used for those elements which are not metallic in their normal ground state; compounds are sometimes excluded from consideration. Some textbooks use the term nonmetallic elements such as the Chemistry of the Non-Metals by Ralf Steudel, which also uses the general definition in terms of conduction and the Fermi level. The approach based upon the elements is often used in teaching to help students understand the periodic table of elements, although it is a teaching oversimplification. Those elements towards the top right of the periodic table are nonmetals, those towards the center (transition metal and lanthanide) and the left are metallic. An intermediate designation metalloid is used for some elements.

The term is sometimes also used when describing dopants of specific elements types in compounds, alloys or combinations of materials, using the periodic table classification. For instance metalloids are often used in high-temperature alloys, and nonmetals in precipitation hardening in steels and other alloys. Here the description implicitly includes information on whether the dopants tend to be electron acceptors that lead to covalently bonded compounds rather than metallic bonding or electron acceptors.

A quite different approach is used in astronomy where the term metallicity is used for all elements heavier than helium, so the only nonmetals are hydrogen and helium. This is a historical anomaly. In 1802, William Hyde Wollaston noted the appearance of a number of dark features in the solar spectrum. In 1814, Joseph von Fraunhofer independently rediscovered the lines and began to systematically study and measure their wavelengths, and they are now called Fraunhofer lines. He mapped over 570 lines, designating the most prominent with the letters A through K and weaker lines with other letters.

About 45 years later, Gustav Kirchhoff and Robert Bunsen noticed that several Fraunhofer lines coincide with characteristic emission lines identifies in the spectra of heated chemical elements. They inferred that dark lines in the solar spectrum are caused by absorption by chemical elements in the solar atmosphere. Their observations were in the visible range where the strongest lines come from metals such as Na, K, Fe. In the early work on the chemical composition of the sun the only elements that were detected in spectra were hydrogen and various metals, with the term metallic frequently used when describing them. In contemporary usage all the extra elements beyond just hydrogen and helium are termed metallic.

There are many cases where an element or compound is metallic under certain circumstances, but a nonmetal in others. One example is metallic hydrogen which forms under very high pressures. There are many other cases as discussed by Mott, Inada et al and more recently by Yonezawa.

Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure. In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body. The application of an axial load on the human spine can result in vertebral compression fractures, but can also allow effective load-bearing during head-carrying.

Kompaneyets equation refers to a non-relativistic, Fokker–Planck type, kinetic equation for photon number density with which photons interact with an electron gas via Compton scattering, first derived by Alexander Kompaneyets in 1949 and published in 1957 after declassification. The Kompaneyets equation describes how an initial photon distribution relaxes to the equilibrium Bose–Einstein distribution. Komapaneyets pointed out the radiation field on its own cannot reach the equilibrium distribution since the Maxwells equation are linear but it needs to exchange energy with the electron gas. The Kompaneyets equation has been used as a basis for analysis of the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect.

Consider a non-relativistic electron bath that is at an equilibirum temperature T e , i.e., k B T e ≪ ≪ m e c 2 , where m e is the electron mass. Let there be a low-frequency radiation field that satisfies the soft-photon approximation, i.e., ℏ ℏ ω ω ≪ ≪ m e c 2 where ω ω is the photon frequency. Then, the enery exchange in any collision between photon and electron will be small. Assuming homogeneity and isotropy and expanding the collision integral of the Boltzmann equation in terms of small energy exchange, one obtains the Kompaneyets equation.

Zeldovich regularization refers to a regularization method to calculate divergent integrals and divergent series, that was first introduced by Yakov Zeldovich in 1961. Zeldovich was originally interested in calculating the norm of the Gamow wave function which is divergent since there is an outgoing spherical wave. Zeldovich regularization uses a Gaussian type-regularization and is defined, for divergent integrals, by

Color transparency is a phenomenon observed in high-energy particle physics, where hadrons (particles made of quarks such as a proton or mesons) created in a nucleus propagate through that nucleus with less interaction than expected. It suggests that hadrons are first created with a small size in the nucleus, and then grow to their nominal size. Here, color refers to the color charge, the property of quarks and gluons that determines how strongly they interact through the nuclear strong force.

Color transparency arises from the behavior of quarks inside hadrons. These quarks are held together by the strong interaction, mediated by gluons. At high energies, when a high-energy hadron -or more generally a color singlet object interacts with a nucleus, it can propagate in the nucleus with less scattering than expected. This reduced scattering, or transparency, is attributed to the fact soon after the hadron is created, the gluon cloud surrounding the quarks is more compact, viz the effective size of the singlet object is small, leading to reduced interaction. This effect is observed in experiments involving high-energy electron scattering off nuclei, where the transparency increases with increasing energy of the incoming particles, or more precisely with the 4-momentum transfer Q between the accelerated particle beam and target nucleus.

Color transparency is interpreted as the creation of point-like configurations (PLC), also called small-size configurations (SSC) or ejectile, that are color singlet and of radius r ∼ ∼ ℏ ℏ / Q , where ℏ ℏ is the reduced Planck constant. The radius is small because the quarks are close to each other, making their external color fields to cancel, much like the electric field of an electric dipole vanishes at distances much larger than the dipole size. If the energy-momentum of the PLC/SSC/ejectile is high enough, it does not have time to expand to its nominal size (e.g., about 0.8 fm if the PLC/SSC becomes a proton) while propagating in the target nucleus, resulting in it going through the nucleus unimpeded.

The above interpretation is in the partonic language, which uses quarks and gluons as the degrees of freedom. Due to the quark-hadron duality, or parton-hadron duality, meaning that all QCD predictions can be expressed using a hadronic basis, color transparency can also be described using hadronic degrees of freedom. In that case, the ejectile, although not a hadron (i.e., not an eigenstate of the QCD Hamiltonian despite being color singlet), can be represented as a superposition of hadrons. Such a superposition state has a smaller size than each individual hadron. As the ejectile propagates in the nucleus, all but one of the hadron states constituting the ejectile state are filtered out by the interaction of the ejectile with the nucleons in the nucleus. The remaining hadronic state corresponds to the hadron eventually produced in the reaction. The filtering out of the other states occurs after a typical formation time τ τ f . If the distance c τ τ f is larger than the nucleus size, then no filtering happens in the nucleus, the ejectile keeps its small size, and propagates largely unhindered. This is color transparency described with hadronic degrees of freedom.

The phenomenon has been observed in several experiments, including experiment E791 at Fermilab. The experiment ran from June 1988 to January 1992 and collided high-energy (500 GeV) pions onto carbon and platinum nuclei. The experiment observed evidence of color transparency in the production of vector mesons, such as ρ ρ and ϕ ϕ mesons. Other experiments that observed evidence for color transparency include the E665 experiment, also at Fermilab, the HERMES experiment at DESY, and the E02-110 experiment at Jefferson Lab.

The experimental signal for color transparency is the "nuclear transparency", defined as the ratio between the nuclear cross section per nucleon over that on a free nucleon. Color transparency then predicts an increase of nuclear transparency with Q .

Color transparency is important because it provides valuable insights into the strong interaction. In fact, color transparency is a prediction of the quantum field theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Additionally, color transparency has implications for nuclear physics and the structure of atomic nuclei. By studying how particles interact with nuclei at high energies, one learns more about the distributions of quarks and gluons within nucleons and how they are affected by the surrounding nuclear environment. The noticeable modification of these distributions by the nuclear environment is known as the EMC effect and is, as of 2024, a vibrant field of research in particle and nuclear physics.
