[1] An initial evaluation of the Models-3 Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model aerosol component reveals CMAQ’s varying ability to simulate observed visibility indices and aerosol species concentrations. The visibility evaluation, using National Weather Service observations from 139 airports for 11–15 July 1995, shows that CMAQ reasonably captured the general spatial and temporal patte...

Current physical activity guidelines for youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are poorly supported by empirical evidence and the optimal dose of physical activity to improve glycemic control is unknown. This case report documents the effect of acute high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) on 24-h glycemic control in three adolescents with T1D using continuous g...

BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer represents a major public health problem in the world. Several minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) techniques have been described and represent a safe alternative for the surgical management of esophageal cancer in selected centers with high volume and surgeons experienced in minimally invasive procedures. METHODS The authors reviewed the most recent and larges...

Light scattering by a small spherical particle, a central topic for electromagnetic scattering theory, is here considered. In this short review, some of the basic features of its resonant scattering behavior are covered. First, a general physical picture is described by a full electrodynamic perspective, the Lorenz–Mie theory. The resonant spectrum of a dielectric sphere reveals the existence o...

The paper is devoted to numerical simulation of homogeneous images of dielectric, semiconductor and metal spherical nanoparticles in a flat plane situated in the near-field region. The influence of the particle radius, the distance to the image plane and the polarization direction of the illuminating light wave on image formation is illustrated on the basis of near-field Mie scattering theory. ...

Broadband electromagnetic transparency phenomenon is realized with a well-designed gradedpermittivity sphere, which has an extremely low scattering cross section over a wide frequency range, based on the generalized Mie scattering theory and numerical simulation in full-wave condition. The dynamic polarization cancellation is revealed by studying the variation of the polarization with respect t...

While making airborne measurements of cloud particles, a bright glory was observed on a thin layer cloud. By deliberately flying through this glory-producing cloud on several occasions, cloud particle size distributions were obtained. We found that warm liquid clouds with narrow cloud droplet size distributions are responsible for producing the observed glory. This paper presents these results ...

We report on the scattering properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated whole blood from 250 to 1000 nm. We determine the complex refractive index of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin using a Kramers-Kronig analysis and optical coherence tomography measurements. Combining these data with Mie theory, the scattering properties are calculated. The strong oxygen saturation dependent scattering e...

Experimental study and computer simulation of light propagation in turbid media with different concentration of scattering particles are described. Gel phantoms with adding of Intralipid-20% as a model of living tissue have been investigated. Experimental results have shown existing of transmittance and reflectance saturation in dependence on volume fraction of the scatterers. The inverse addin...
