We have developed a data acquisition unit (DAU) for continuous, low noise measurement of glucose concentration in subcutaneous interstitial fluid (ISF). The system is comprised of a specialized glucose sensor, analog circuitry for signal conditioning, and delta-sigma ( ) analog to digital converters (ADCs). The glucose sensor has two infrared (IR) LEDs designed to emit light in the 2.2 to 2.4 m...

The current normalization of the cross section of inclusive high-p T particle production in deuteron-gold collisions measured at RHIC relies on Glauber model calculations for the inelastic dAu cross section. These calculations should be corrected for diffrac-tion. Moreover, they miss the Gribov's inelastic shadowing which makes nuclei more transparent (color transparency) and reduce the inelast...
