pulse oximetry measures the relative concentration of arterial oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. this paper presents the design of a pulse oximeter, which measures the presence of a third substance, carboxyhemoglobin (hbco), by unfiltered leds at 660 nm, 810 nm, and 940 nm. background information is given on the theory of pulse oximetry. theoretical approximations and calculations w...

Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...

The existence of recorded accelerograms to perform dynamic inelastic time history analysis is of the utmost importance especially in near-fault regions where directivity pulses impose extreme demands on structures and cause widespread damages. But due to the scarcity of recorded acceleration time histories, it is common to generate proper artificial ground motions. In this paper an alternative ...

In this paper, the evaluation of time profile of a femtosecond pulse laser propagated through biological tissues is studied. The majority of the biological tissues with a high scattering anisotropy must be considered as turbid media, that their optical responses are complicated. To study the propagation of ultra-short pulse in turbid media, the diffuse equation is used. In this study, the analy...

background: cardiac output (co) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. co is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. hence, measuring co has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. sev...

furan is a possible human carcinogen in many types of foods. a new and sensitive electroanalytical method for determination of furan has been developed and validated. the best condition forelectrochemical response was obtained with 0.1 m britton-rabinson buffer solution (ph=5) a glassy carbonelectrode (gce) was used as the working electrode, a ag/agcl/ kcl(sat.) electrode served as the referenc...
