CFP technology (Berkhout, 1996a,b) addresses these limitations in a novel way. By breaking the model determination process into two simpler, more easily solved problems, those of operator estimation and macro model estimation, the final solution will typically be more accurate. Moreover, by providing rapid local convergence to the correct travel-time operators, migration analysis can be automat...

There are many different cells in the immune system. To mount an effective immune response, they need to communicate with each other. One way in which this is done is by the formation of immunological synapses between cells. Recent developments show that the immune synapse serves as a focal point for exocytosis and endocytosis, directed by centrosomal docking at the plasma membrane. In this res...

The Kalai-Smorodinsky solution is characterized by three axioms: balanced focal point, disagreement point monotonicity, and restricted IIA.

Mobile instrumentation is of growing importance to archaeometry research. Equipment is utilized in the field or at museums, thus avoiding transportation or risk of damage to valuable artifacts. Many spectroscopic techniques are nondestructive and micro-destructive in nature, which preserves the cultural heritage objects themselves. This review includes over 160 references pertaining to the use ...

We present results of numerical investigations into the possibility to shape the focal field distribution by means of amplitude or phase masks on top of a microlens that works in the transition regime between a diffractive and a refractive element. For different applications, such as photolithography or optical tweezers, a specialized intensity distribution in the focal region is desirable. For...

The dentate gyrus of hippocampus has long been considered as a focal point for studies on mechanisms responsible for the development of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Change in intrinsic properties of dentate gyrus granule cells (GCs) has been considered as an important factor responsible in temporal lobe seizures. In this study, we evaluated the intrinsic properties of GCs, during acute phase o...
