Membrane condensation and curvature induced by SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein by Wölk, Christian, Shen, Chen, Hause, Gerd, Surya, Wahyu, Torres, Jaume, Harvey, Richard D., Bello, Gianluca

“…To study the possible role of the E protein in this mechanism, we examined the structural modification of the host lipid membrane by the SARS-CoV-2 E protein using synchrotron-based X-ray methods. Our reflectometry results on solid-supported planar bilayers show that E protein markedly condenses the surrounding lipid bilayer. …”

Quasi-distributed fiber sensor based on Fresnel-reflection-enhanced Incomplete-POTDR system by Wang, Chaodong, Zhou, Yaling, Dong, Hui, Tang, Ming, Fu, Songnian, Shum, Perry

“…A novel scheme of quasi-distributed vibration disturbances detection system based on incomplete Polarization optical time domain reflectometry was proposed. The system was enhanced by employing Fresnel-reflection caused by FC/PC connector, which can improve the signal’s SNR significantly, while the temporal depolarization effect can be almost completely suppressed. …”

Time Domain Reflection Method To Detect Copper Wire Micro Crack Weld Defect by Robin, Ong Su Kiat

“…The aim of this research is to investigate an alternative methodology by establishing a comprehensive physical and simulation characterization technique namely Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to address this issue. Parameters that have been investigated included TDR input (frequency of 20 and 50 GHz and time domain between 10 to 23 psec) and output (reflection voltage from 0 to 250 mV and characteristic impedance) responses on the wire crack geometries (length from 1 to 20 m and crack area). 50 GHz TDR successfully detected 10, 50 and 90 % of crack size with physical length of 1, 4 and 10 m respectively. …”
