Mechanical characterization of microparticles by scattered ultrasound

Opto-mechanical frequency shifting of scattered light

Light being scattered back from external surfaces or optical components can affect the sensitivity of optical measurement systems such as interferometers. By modulating the optical path length in front of a critical optical component the noise contributions due to the scattered light can be shifted out of the frequency band of interest. An opto-mechanical phase shifter has been designed for thi...

Scattered data approximation of fully fuzzy data by quasi-interpolation

Fuzzy quasi-interpolations help to reduce the complexity of solving a linear system of equations compared with fuzzy interpolations. Almost all fuzzy quasi-interpolations are focused on the form of $widetilde{f}^{*}:mathbb{R}rightarrow F(mathbb{R})$ or $widetilde{f}^{*}:F(mathbb{R})rightarrow mathbb{R}$.  In this paper, we intend to offer a novel fuzzy radial basis function by the concept of so...

Isolation and Characterization of Circulating Microparticles by Flow Cytometry.

Microparticles are small fragments (0.1-1.0 μm) of cellular membrane which are shed by cells under conditions of stress. As levels of circulating microparticles are elevated in disease, there has been significant interest in their assessment and quantification under pathological conditions. Here we describe a protocol for the isolation of microparticles from plasma samples and their characteriz...
