Structured illumination microscopy is able to improve the spatial resolution of wide-field fluorescence imaging by applying sinusoidal stripe pattern illumination to the sample. The corresponding computational image reconstruction requires precise knowledge of the pattern’s parameters, which are its phase (φ) and wave vector (<b>p</b>). Here, a computationally inexpensive method for estimation of ...

In this work we have explored the live-cell friendly nanoscopy method Multiple Signal Classification Algorithm (MUSICAL) for multi-colour imaging of various organelles and sub-cellular structures in the cardiomyoblast cell line H2c9. We have tested MUSICAL for fast (up to 230Hz), multi-colour time-lapse sequences of various sub-cellular structures (mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, microtubules, ...

The present study has demonstrated to produce a reliable PVDF copolymer focused transducers from a layer-by-layer deposition method by engraving milled spherical cavies in a PEI polymer substrate. The proposed method which process P(VDF-TrFE) from the fluid phase, is adhesive-free in the sense that it does not require any additional adhesive layers for material binding. The transducer was acoustically ...

This work extends upon our simple feature-based multichannel SAR segmentation method to incorporate highly desirable statistical properties into a computationally simple approach. The desirable properties include Markov random field contextual smoothing and goodness-of-fit testing to automatically obtain the significant number of classes. To achieve this we need to find an explicit class model to ...

Changes in Arctic sea ice have raised questions about changes in sea ice drift patterns. Reduced sea ice coverage may open up the Arctic to further exploration of maritime activities, particularly during the summer months. Given such changes, it is important to investigate differences between available sea ice drift products. Products based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR), radar scatterometer, and ...

Surface-based Ku-band radar altimetry investigations indicate that the radar signal is typically backscattered from well above the snow–sea ice interface. However, this would induce a bias in satellite altimeter sea ice thickness retrievals not reflected by buoy validation. Our study presents a mechanism to potentially explain this paradox: probabilistic quasi-specular radar scattering from the ...

Motivasjonen for denne oppgaven er en aktiv, smertefri og ufarlig metode for deteksjon av brystkreft ved bruk av ultrabredbånd mikrobølgeradar. Montering av lavstøyforsterker direkte etter mottakerantennen har en positiv effekt på signal-til-støyforholdet i radar-systemet, og en vesentlig del av oppgaven er å måle lavstøyforsterkeren gir. Grunnleggende teori om mikrobølger, antenner, forsterkere, ...

In this article, we investigate the feasibility to align synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery based on a compensation for sea ice drift occurring between temporally shifted image acquisitions. The image alignment is a requirement for improving sea ice classification by combining multifrequency SAR images acquired at different times. Images obtained at different radar frequencies provide ...

We have performed a large statistical study of the peak emission altitude of green O(1D2–1S0) (557.7 nm) and blue 1 N (427.8 nm) aurora using observations from a network of all-sky cameras stationed across northern Finland and Sweden recorded during seven winter seasons from 2000 to 2007. Both emissions were found to typically peak at about 114 km. The distribution of blue peak altitudes is more ...

Tidligere Bryne videregående skole (vgs.) og Time vgs. ble i 2015 slått sammen til nye Bryne vgs. I den anledning ble det bygget tre nye skolebygg med et moderne og komplekst energisystem. Skolen er et pilotprosjekt i tråd med Rogaland fylkeskommune sin miljøpolitikk og er bygget med fokus på bærekraftige prinsipper, lavt energiforbruk og bruk av energikilder med begrenset CO2 utslipp. Skolens varme ...
