Using the finite-difference time-domain method, three-dimensional scattering patterns are computed for cells containing multiple organelles. The scattering cross section and average cosine of the scattering angle are computed for cells as a function of volume fraction of melanin granules and mitochondria. Results show that small organelles play a significant role in light scattering from cells,...

We investigate theoretically changes in the spectrum of polychromatic light scattered by a disordered, birefringent medium. We derive an expression for the spectrum of scattered light for ordinary and extraordinary incident waves within the accuracy of the first Born approximation. Using this result, we analyze the changes in the spectrum of light due to the combined action of disorder and anis...

The radiance distribution of light scattered by randomly oriented ice crystals differs fundamentally from the radiance distribution of light scattered by spherical raindrops or by preferentially oriented ice crystals. A formalism for light scattering by randomly oriented crystals is given and applied to four examples, among them the circular 22° halo and the antisolar halospot, the latter being...

This paper proposes an interconnection of the MATLAB and GAMS software interfaces, which were designed based on a master-slave methodology, to solve mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model problem associated with regarding optimal location sizing static distribution compensators (D-STATCOMs) in meshed radial networks, considering reactive power flow compensation fact that networks hav...
