Various types of non-uniform illumination can be used for resolution improvement in fluorescence microscopy. Here we study the differences between several types of incoherent illumination patterns, such as multi-spot, line and pseudo-random patterns. This requires an imaging setup and an image reconstruction algorithm that are flexible enough to incorporate any type of illumination pattern. We ...

Grassland habitat covers about one-quarter of the Earth’s land surface, providing significant contribution to the world’s total agricultural production, plant biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. The advent of hyperspectral remote sensing and the future launch of planned spaceborne hyperspectral missions will open up new possibilities over conventional multispectral RS to better quantify gra...

We report a new kinetic approach to the quantification of triglycerides (triacylglycerols) in human sera. The new approach combines a commercially available enzyme-reagent system with a multiple-linear-regression data-processing method. Values of absorbance collected at 3-s intervals between 20 and 305 s are fitted to a pseudo-first-order model to compute the total change in absorbance expected...

In order to maintain a relatively high accuracy of navigation performance during global positioning system (GPS) outages, a novel robust least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM)-aided fusion methodology is explored to provide the pseudo-GPS position information for the inertial navigation system (INS). The relationship between the yaw, specific force, velocity, and the position increment i...
