A rapid-screening approach to detect and quantify microplastics based on fluorescent tagging with Nile Red
A new approach is presented for analysis of microplastics in environmental samples, based on selective fluorescent staining using Nile Red (NR), followed by density-based extraction and filtration. The dye adsorbs onto plastic surfaces and renders them fluorescent when irradiated with blue light. Fluorescence emission is detected using simple photography through an orange filter. Image-analysis...
متن کاملScenario based technique applied to photovoltaic sources uncertainty
There is an increasing need to forecast power generated by photovoltaic sources in day-ahead power system operation. The electrical energy generated by these renewable sources is an uncertain variable and depends on solar irradiance, which is out of control and depends on climate conditions. The stochastic programming based on various scenarios is an efficient way to deal with such uncertaintie...
متن کاملUnihemispheric sleep in crocodilians?
Reduced vigilance is the conspicuous cost of sleep in most animals. To mitigate against this cost, some birds and aquatic mammals have evolved the ability to sleep with one-half of their brain at a time, a phenomenon known as unihemispheric sleep. During unihemispheric sleep the eye neurologically connected to the 'awake' hemisphere remains open while the other eye is closed. Such unilateral ey...
متن کاملA novel technique to quantify the instantaneous mitral regurgitant rate
BACKGROUND The systolic variation of mitral regurgitation (MR) is a pitfall in its quantification. Current recommendations advocate using quantitative echocardiographic techniques that account for this systolic variation. While prior studies have qualitatively described patterns of systolic variation no study has quantified this variation. METHODS This study includes 41 patients who underwent...
متن کاملOptical Watermarking Technique Applied to Moving Objects
We propose the application of optical watermarking to real moving objects like the faces of people who are walking. Optical watermarking technology uses spatially modulated light containing invisible watermarked data that irradiates real objects to make photographed data contain the embedded watermarking. We performed experiments where illumination containing time-sequential data embedded with ...
