Introduction Non-invasive Fluorescent Reflectance Imaging (FRI) is used for accessing physiological and molecular processes in biological media. The aim of this article is to separate the overlapping emission spectra of quantum dots within tissue-equivalent phantom using SVD, Jacobi SVD, and NMF methods in the FRI mode. Materials and Methods In this article, a tissue-like phantom and an optical...

In this paper, a new voltage controlled first order all-pass filter is presented. The proposed circuit employs a single differential voltage dual-X second generation current conveyor (DV-DXCCII) and a grounded capacitor only. The proposed all-pass filter provides both inverting and non inverting voltage-mode outputs from the same configuration simultaneously without any matching condition. Non-...

This paper presents a novel microstrip low-pass filter with good performance. A complete detailed theoretical analysis for the proposed filter is given using equivalent circuit models. The proposed filter applying multiple cascaded modified radial stubs resonators provides a sharp cut off frequency response that has a 185 dB/GHz roll off rate. Also, U-shaped attenuators provide a wide stop-band...

A band-pass filter with 70% bandwidth, effectively functioning as a pseudo-high pass filter has been designed and implemented using suspended strip-line technology. In principle such a filter can easily be fabricated by cascading low pass and high pass filters, but it is difficult to fabricate high pass filters in suspended stripline, and this filter is expected to overcome this difficulty. The...

In order to improve the performance of homomorphic filtering technique for face images, band pass filter is selected to replace the conventional high pass filter in homomorphic filtering technique. Apart from the noise reduction capability, the band pass filter is specifically designed for face images as it is based on the locations of illumination component in Fourier spectrum. The qualitative...

ETRI Journal, Volume 26, Number 4, August 2004 In this paper we present a new current-mode electronically tunable universal filter using only plus-type current controlled conveyors (CCCII+s) and grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filter functions— all at high impedance outputs. The realization of a notch response does not require...

Many experimental studies demonstrate a match between the transfer function of sensory neurons and the statistics of natural stimuli. However, neurons might not be able to adapt to any given stimulus statistics due to very basic constraints. The high-pass nature of spike-frequency adaptation (Benda and Herz, 2003) emphasizes fast stimulus components over slow stimuli (Benda et al., 2005). The c...
