Ghost imaging is a transverse imaging technique that relies on the correlation between a pair of light fields, one that has interacted with the object to be imaged and one that has not. Most ghost imaging experiments have been performed in transmission. and virtually all ghost imaging theory has addressed the transmissive case. Yet stand-off sensing applications require that the object be image...

Schmitt, Bear, and Ponder (1936, 1938) observed that the rabbit red cell ghost, prepared by freezing and thawing, is slightly birefringent. Extraction of the lipids and suspension of the ghosts in media of varying refractive indices led to the conclusion that a positive intrinsic birefringence, due to the radial orientation of lipid, is nearly balanced by a negative form birefringence due to th...

In the context of deductive program verification, ghost code is part of the program that is added for the purpose of specification. Ghost code must not interfere with regular code, in the sense that it can be erased without any observable difference in the program outcome. In particular, ghost data cannot participate in regular computations and ghost code cannot mutate regular data or diverge. ...

Plasma membrane sacs of isolated rat fat cells (ghots) possess an adenyl cyclase system, which is activated by lipolytic hormones of disparate molecular structure, including adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), glucagon, and epinephrine. Previous studies indicated that distinctive selectivity units for individual hormones are coupled to the same unit of adenyl cyclase in the fat cell membrane. The prese...

Weibull (1953a) has shown that after osmotic lysis of protoplasts of Bacillus megaterium, prepared by controlled treatment with lysozyme, only two microscopically detectable structures remain; membrane-like bodies termed "ghosts," and granules. The ghosts were found to sediment as a dark yellow fraction by centrifugation at 10,000 G (Weibull, 1953b) and to contain almost all the pigmented mater...

To examine the relationship between body mass index, blood pressure, and the Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) system, we measured the erythrocyte ghost Na+,K+-ATPase and the erythrocyte Na+ concentration in 120 blacks and 127 whites (136 males and 111 females). Blacks showed a 13.9% higher erythrocyte Na+ (7.63 +/- 0.19 vs 6.70 +/- 0.11 [SEM] mEq/L; p = 0.0001) and a 16.1% lower erythro...

The facts of the human body, evolutionary, physiological, social, and systemic, as experienced and symbolized (often differently) by every human, necessarily set the standards, and the limits, of human minds, and of theories about them. Following Turner (1994), who conjures the ghost of Plato conjuring the ghost of Socrates conjuring the ghost of Protagoras, we may call (1) Protagoras’s Principle:

On (b, c)-system at finite temperature in thermo field approach Abstract We construct the finite temperature field theory of the two-dimensional ghost-antighost system within the framework of thermo field theory.
