Image processing is proposed to enhance the performance of Brillouin distributed fibre sensors. The technique exploits the two-dimensional nature of the measurements, so that each frequency-position pair is assimilated to a pixel of a noisy image. Based on the level of redundancy existing in the two-dimensional information, the method offers unmatched denoising capabilities when compared to cla...

Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) can be a life-threatening complication that requires immediate treatment. We present a case of 57-year-old woman with tricuspid PVT who was definitely diagnosed by multi-detector-row computed tomography limited with echocardiography. The patient was treated successfully with an alternative approach using low molecular weight heparin bridging therapy followed by...

Over the past decades, there has been an escalating rise in need for chemicals and catalytic materials to keep up with global demands. Addressing those issues by conventional methods often becomes inefficient, myriad operational risks. Process intensification through procedural equipment-based modifications have considered greener, higher heat mass transfer rates, operate lower costs. In this r...
