The purpose of this paper is to investigate how changes in the plasma skimming coefficient affect the hemoconcentration within blood vessel networks. Due to the differences in plasma and red blood cells (RBCs) phases, the RBCs tend to flow at a different rate causing a difference in hematocrit concentration at a bifurcation in a network. This can be quite important when looking into how efficie...

Cost-effective high-performance IR imaging cameras based on Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP) need CMOS readout structures which allow effective operation at temperatures compatible with inexpensive long-life coolers. At such high temperatures (around 72 K), the QWIP suffers from large background and dark currents (Fig. 1), which have a tendency to saturate the integrating capacitor i...

We developed a support system for skimming documents on computer screen. The system has interface for document readability from computer screen and recommends personalized summaries. The interface of this system is introduced the visualized effect based on combining fisheye view and overview+detail; the focus points of fisheye view are selected sentences by using the original extraction algorit...
