Multifocus microscopy enables recording of entire volumes in a single camera exposure. In dense samples, multifocus microscopy is severely hampered by background haze. Here, we introduce a scalable multifocus method that incorporates optical sectioning and offers axial superresolution capabilities. In our method, a dithered oblique light-sheet scans the sample volume during a single exposure, while ...

Interpretabilty is one of the desired characteristics in various classification task. Rule-based system and fuzzy logic can be used for interpretation in classification. The main drawback of rule-based system is that it may contain large complex rules for classification and sometimes it becomes very difficult in interpretation. Rule reduction is also difficult for various reasons. Removing important ...

Multifocus microscopy enables recording of entire volumes in a single camera 11 exposure. In dense samples, multifocus microscopy is severely hampered by background haze. 12 Here, we introduce a scalable multifocus method that incorporates optical sectioning and offers 13 improved axial resolution capabilities. In our method, a dithered oblique light-sheet scans the 14 sample volume during a ...

Surface functionalization of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) with external groups can be engineered to fabricate sensors that are responsive to various stimuli like temperature, pH, and numerous ions. Herein, we report the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) functionalized with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (GNPs-MPA) and the doping of these nanoparticles into hydrogel materials using the ...

Hepatic steatosis causes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been recommended to allow patients who have difficulty engaging in exercise to improve the grade of hepatic steatosis. This study proposed using ultrasound parametric imaging of the homodyned K (HK) distribution to evaluate the effectiveness of WBV treatments in alleviating hepatic steatosis. Sixty mice were ...

Radio wave absorption in the ionosphere is a function of electron density, collision frequency, radio wave polarisation, magnetic field and radio wave frequency. Several studies have used multi-frequency measurements of cosmic radio noise absorption to determine electron density profiles. Using the framework of statistical inverse problems, we investigated if an electron density altitude profile ...

The damping ratio is a calculated feature that measures the contrast between oil-slicked water and the open ocean in SAR data. To implement the damping ratio, the current literature suggests estimating the open water backscatter by taking strips of undefined width across the range direction, obtaining the damping ratio as a function of incidence angle. We show in this paper that the method proposed ...

Histology involves the observation of structural features in tissues using a microscope. While diffraction-limited optical microscopes are commonly used in histological investigations, their resolving capabilities are insufficient to visualize details at subcellular level. Although a novel set of super-resolution optical microscopy techniques can fulfill the resolution demands in such cases, the ...

In recent years, multistatic specular meteor radars (SMRs) have been introduced to study the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) dynamics with increasing spatial and temporal resolution. SMRs, compared to other groundbased observations, have the advantage of continuously measuring the region between 80 and 100 km independent of weather, season, or time of day. In this paper, frequency spectra ...

We present the results from investigation of spectra of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) observed with EISCAT VHF 224 MHz radar during energetic particle precipitation events in the summer of 2019. We used the sudden enhancements in electron densities derived from the VHF observations above 90 km as indicators of particle precipitation. We find that the altitude extent of the PMSE increased ...
