Saccades, elicited by an identical visual stimulus in repeated trials, exhibit a certain amount of amplitude and direction scatter. The present paper illustrates how this scatter may be used to discern various properties of the subsystem that determines the metrics of a saccade. It is found in humans that scatter along the eccentricity axis is consistently more pronounced than along the directi...

A theoretical method is presented that allows identification of optimal x-ray imaging geometry, considering the effects of x-ray source distribution, imaging task, x-ray scatter, and imager detective quantum efficiency (DQE). Each of these factors is incorporated into the ICRU-recommended figure of merit for image quality, the detectability index, which is maximized to determine the optimal sys...

X-ray Mammography examinations are highly affected by scattered radiation, as it degrades the quality of the image and complicates the diagnosis process. Anti-scatter grids are currently used in planar mammography examinations as the standard physical scattering reduction technique. This method has been found to be inefficient, as it increases the dose delivered to the patient, does not remove ...

[1] In order to validate the reported precision of space‐based atmospheric composition measurements, validation studies often focus on measurements in the tropical stratosphere, where natural variability is weak. The scatter in tropical measurements can then be used as an upper limit on single‐profile measurement precision. Here we introduce a method of quantifying the scatter of tropical measu...

background: there is a worldwide interest in searching for potential and effective medicinal plant candidates against various diseases or disorders. till now, there are number of anti-inflammatory drugs like nsaids are available which showed various adverse effects in our body. to reduce these adverse effects, some of medicinal plants have been experimentally validated. aim: the aim of our immu...

We demonstrate tunable electrical and thermal conductivities through freezing rate control in solution-based nanocomposites. For a prototypical suspension of 1 vol % multilayer graphene suspended in hexadecane, the solid-liquid electrical conductivity contrast ratio can be tuned from 1 to 4.5 orders of magnitude for freezing rates between 10(2) and 10(-3) °C/min. We hypothesize that this dramat...

We present a framework for the development of elasticity and photoelasticity relationships for polyethylene terephthalate fiber networks, incorporating aspects of the primary molecular structure. Semicrystalline polymeric fiber networks are modeled as sequentially arranged crystalline and amorphous regions. Rotational isomeric states-Monte Carlo simulations of amorphous chains of up to 360 bond...
