Running Title: Low-level laser irradiation in disuse muscle atrophyAbstract Low-level laser (LLL) irradiation promotes proliferation of muscle satellite cells, angiogenesis and expression of growth factors. Satellite cells, angiogenesis and growth factors play important roles in the regeneration of muscle. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of LLL irradiation on rat gastrocne...

Low-level laser (LLL) irradiation promotes proliferation of muscle satellite cells, angiogenesis and expression of growth factors. Satellite cells, angiogenesis and growth factors play important roles in the regeneration of muscle. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of LLL irradiation on rat gastrocnemius muscle recovering from disuse muscle atrophy. Eight-week-old rats were ...

It can’t be ignored that the impact of distribution network to the static voltage stability of the distributed generation. In this paper, we first introduce the stability indices of the traditional grid on static voltage and the analytical method, at the same time, we put forward the corresponding advantages, disadvantages and applicable scope. Then, we present a summary of the current research...

High dynamic range optical-to-near-infrared transmission measurements for different parts of human body in the spectral range from 650 to 950 nm have been performed. Experimentally measured spectra are correlated with Monte Carlo simulations using chromaticity coordinates in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space. Both a qualitative and a quantitative agreement have been found, paving a new way of charact...

In this paper, combined GPS and GLONASS positioning systems are discussed and some solutions have been proposed to improve the accuracy of navigation. Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) is able to provide position, velocity and time with respect to coordinated universal time. GNSS positioning is based on received satellite signals, so its performance is highly dependent on the quality of...

Marc Rioux National Research Council, Canada Institute for Information Technology Visual Information Technology Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0R6 Abstract. We review some usual laser range finding techniques for industrial applications. After outlining the basic principles of triangulation and time of flight [pulsed, phase-shift and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW)], we discuss their respective...

ZY-3 is the first civilian high resolution stereo mapping satellite, which has been launched on 9th, Jan, 2012. The aim of ZY-3 satellite is to obtain high resolution stereo images and support the 1:50000 scale national surveying and mapping. Although ZY-3 has very high accuracy for direct geo-locations without GCPs (Ground Control Points), use of some GCPs is still indispensible for high preci...

Absolute distance measurement based on optical feedback using a singlefrequency Yb:Er glass laser is demonstrated via the combination of heterodyne detection and frequency sweep. The technique allows enhancing the sensitivity of the laser response to self-mixing thanks to resonant excitation close to the relaxation oscillation frequency peak. The experimental results on non-cooperative target a...

54 LLE Review, Volume 86 Introduction High-gain inertial confinement fusion (ICF) requires uniform compression of a spherical capsule to a state of high density and temperature;1–3 current research is aimed at finding ways to achieve this goal. This article describes how a range of traditional and new nuclear diagnostics are used to study the compression performance of deuterium-tritium (DT)-fi...
