The Meridian Photometer

Meridian Essence: Modern Thought

Meridian essence has been investigated through anatomy, electrophysiology, biophysics, and biochemistry. Various hypotheses of meridian essence exist, but no hypothesis can truly reflect the internal character of Chinese medicine (CM). The research of meridian essence requires a holistic viewpoint and innovative awareness. Initially, any hypothesis regarding meridian essence should begin with o...

Flux calibration of the Herschel -SPIRE photometer

We describe the procedure used to flux calibrate the three-band submillimetre photometer in the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory. This includes the equations describing the calibration scheme, a justification for using Neptune as the primary calibration source, a description of the observations and data processing procedures used to derive f...

Serum Calcium Using the Eel Flame Photometer

Flame photometry has many applications, and in the clinical field its use in the estimation of serum sodium and potassium is now well established. Difficulties have been encountered in the estimation of serum calcium by flame photometry, since the emission spectrum of calcium is relatively weak and is subject to interference by the presence of other ions, e.g., sodium. Although many methods hav...

PhotoMeter: Easy-to-use MonoGraphoMetrics

MonoGraphoMetrics is the science of computing 3D measures from a single image. Several recent research activities have produced theoretical principles and practical tools for extracting 3D measures from uncalibrated photographs. These tools require that the user identifies configurations of edges, which are used to establish constraints or to identify planes in the scene. The process involved i...
