Purpose: Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a recent imaging modality that allows performing in vivo optical biopsies. The design of pCLE hardware, and its reliance on an optical fibre bundle, fundamentally limits the image quality with a few tens of thousands fibres, each acting as the equivalent of a single-pixel detector, assembled into a single fibre bundle. Video-registrat...

Abstract This work assesses potential physicochemical, metallic, and radiological contamination of liquid discharges from the phosphoric acid (PA) production unit at coast El Jadida Province in Morocco. The physicochemical parameters: pH, conductivity, salinity, turbidity, total hardness, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate, heavy metals were analyzed PA beach samples. 238 U, 232 Th, 226 Ra determ...

The natural sum operation for symplectic manifolds is defined by gluing along codimension two submanifolds. Specifically, let X be a symplectic 2n-manifold with a symplectic (2n − 2)submanifold V . Given a similar pair (Y, V ) with a symplectic identification V = V and a complex anti-linear isomorphism between the normal bundles of V and V , we can form the symplectic sum Z = X# V=V Y . This no...

This study evaluated leachate recirculation (LR) as a stabilisation strategy for landfills using bioreactor experiments with excavated waste from tropical landfill in Colombia. The experimental evaluation was performed two 115 L bioreactors, one simulating the operation of LR, Br2, where produced recirculated at rate 0.8 d−1, and control system without Br1. Both systems reached indicator values...

This brief presents an efficient and configurable multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) signal detector design solution and its high-speed IC implementation. This detector can support 2 × 2/3 × 3/4 × 4 MIMO and quadratic phase-shift keying/16-state quadratic amplitude modulation (QAM)/64-state QAM modulation configurations. The detection algorithm employs an early-pruned technique that can redu...

This paper proposes a voice activity detector (VAD) based on the complex Laplacian model. With the use of a goodness-of-fit (GOF) test, it is discovered that the Laplacian model is more suitable to describe noisy speech distribution than the conventional Gaussian model. The likelihood ratio (LR) based on the Laplacian model is computed and then applied to the VAD operation. According to the exp...
