Based on truncated inverse filtering, a theory for deconvolution of complex fields is studied. The validity of the theory is verified by comparing with experimental data from digital holographic microscopy (DHM) using a high-NA system (NA=0.95). Comparison with standard intensity deconvolution reveals that only complex deconvolution deals correctly with coherent cross-talk. With improved image ...

Glucosinolates are natural products characteristic of the Brassicales order, which include vegetables such as cabbages and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Glucoraphanin is the major glucosinolate in broccoli and associated with the health-promoting effects of broccoli consumption. Toward our goal of creating a rich source of glucoraphanin for dietary supplements, we have previously report...

Detection of extant microbial life on Earth and elsewhere in the Solar System requires the ability to identify and enumerate micrometer-scale, essentially featureless cells. On Earth, bacteria are usually enumerated by culture plating or epifluorescence microscopy. Culture plates require long incubation times and can only count culturable strains, and epifluorescence microscopy requires extensi...

Sound field simulation is widely used for acoustic design; however, this simulation needs many computational resources. On the other hand, FPGA becomes major for acceleration. To take advantage of hardware acceleration by FPGA, hardware oriented algorithm which consumes small number of gates and memory is necessary. This paper addresses hardware acceleration of sound field simulation using FPGA...

The goal of this paper is to present the advantages on the use of 3D Digital Human Models (DHM) on the design of public transport vehicles. In this case, the subjects were scanned using the WBX Cyberware 3D Whole Body Scanner, with functional and daily postures according to the use of public transportation and some especial cases, such as a mother with her offspring or a business man with his v...

Introduction The high mortality of sepsis is closely related to disorder coagulation induced by endothelial inflammatory response. Our aim investigate the protective effects Dihydromyricetin (DHM) on cells in and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress mechanism. Material methods In vivo, we conducted an animal study for which fifty male Wistar rats were randomly equally divided into five groups: sha...

We introduce a microscopic method that determines quantitative optical properties beyond the optical diffraction limit and allows direct imaging of unstained living biological specimens. In established holographic microscopy, complex fields are measured using interferometric detection, allowing diffraction-limited phase measurements. Here, we show that non-invasive optical nanoscopy can achieve...

Background: In Burkina Faso, efforts have been made between 2010 and 2015 to address the low levels of contraceptive utilization. However, socio-cultural context in country still reinforces traditional gender roles, status for women, a strong desire larger families. The objectives this study are twofold: 1) analyze trends reversible modern prevalence, 2) identify factors influencing use contrac...
