Ultrasonic testing has been used for many decades, proving itself very efficient detecting defects in industrial sectors. The desire to apply ultrasonic geometrically complex structures, and anisotropic, inhomogeneous materials, together with the advent of more powerful electronics software, is constantly pushing applicability waves their limits. General ray tracing models, suitable calculating...

Time reversal (TR) is the process of generating a spatio-temporal focus at a probe source (PS) location by transmitting a time-reversed version of a received signal. While TR focusing requires the PS for a coherent acoustic focus at its origin, the requirement of the PS has been partially relaxed by the introduction of the concept of a virtual source array (VSA) (J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 2009, 125, ...

proteomics has emerged since 1995 for studying the total proteome of cells, tissues, or organisms at any condition. the study of proteins has a fundamental importance because they are the functional and final molecules of the gene expression process and proteomics could be a valuable technique for achieving this purpose. mass spectrometry is a complementary technique for proteomics that allows ...
