Biomolecular Sensors: Benchmarking Basics

The Basics of Triangulation Sensors

riangulation sensors fall into the general category of noncontact height or range measurement devices. A triangulation sensor may provide the same information as a linear variable differential transformer or contact probe, but without touching the object to be measured. The sensors work by projecting a beam of light onto the object of interest and calculating the distance from a reference point...

Analytical molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy: basics and applications.

Traditionally, as compared to atomic spectroscopy techniques, nalyticalmolecular spectroscopyon thewhole comprisesagreater xtent of studies related to analysing various structural and (or) onformational characteristics, bonding, interand intramolecular nteractions, etc., rather than merely quantitative analyses of olecular species. Of course, such molecular-level structure-andonding related inf...

Back to Basics: Benchmarking Canonical Evolution Strategies for Playing Atari

Evolution Strategies (ES) have recently been demonstrated to be a viable alternative to reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms on a set of challenging deep RL problems, including Atari games and MuJoCo humanoid locomotion benchmarks. While the ES algorithms in that work belonged to the specialized class of natural evolution strategies (which resemble approximate gradient RL algorithms, such as ...

Bio-Benchmarking of Electronic Nose Sensors

BACKGROUND Electronic noses, E-Noses, are instruments designed to reproduce the performance of animal noses or antennae but generally they cannot match the discriminating power of the biological original and have, therefore, been of limited utility. The manner in which odorant space is sampled is a critical factor in the performance of all noses but so far it has been described in detail only f...
