Background: Understanding the response of bacteria to environmental stress is hampered by relative insensitivity methods detect growth. This means studies antibiotic resistance and other physiological often exceed 24 hours. Methods: We developed a scattered light detection system (SLIC) address this challenge, establishing LoD (LoD), time growth small inocula. compared light-scattering grown...

syntax tree of a program. Data flow analysis updates a global state when the abstract syntax tree matches rules in the specification. This technique allows scripting of simple analysis checks. Specification languages are directly applicable to my analysis work. My framework already uses a simple specification language similar to SLIC to specify preand postmemory conditions for functions being a...

We have developed an algorithm to generate a complete map of the traversable region for a personal assistant robot using monocular vision only. Using multiple taken by a simple webcam, obstacle detection and avoidance algorithms have been developed. Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) has been used for segmentation to reduce the memory and computation cost. A simple mapping technique usin...

By comparing predicted dose images with physically acquired images, radiotherapy fields may be verified. A good portal dose verification chain should be accurate and unrestricted in terms of gantry angle and patient-imager air gap distance. We present latest enhancements and rigorous tests of a portal dose prediction framework based on Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport. We also present initi...

We probe small scalar coupling differences via the coherent interactions between two nuclear spin singlet states in organic molecules. We show that the spin-lock induced crossing (SLIC) technique enables the coherent transfer of singlet order between one spin pair and another. The transfer is mediated by the difference in syn and anti vicinal or long-range J couplings among the spins. By measur...
