Calibration and limits of camera-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy : a supported lipid bilayer study by Bag, Nirmalya, Sankaran, Jagadish, Paul, Alexandra, Kraut, Rachel Susan, Wohland, Thorsten

“…Using optimized experimental conditions we provide diffusion coefficients for over ten different lipid membranes consisting of one, two and three constituents, measured in over 200000 individual correlation functions. Using software binning and thus the inherent advantage of ITIR-FCS of providing multiple observation areas in a single measurement we test the FCS diffusion law and show how they can be complemented by the local information provided by the difference in cross-correlation functions (ΔCCF). …”

Fourier transform-based scalable image quality measure by Narwaria, Manish, Lin, Weisi, McLoughlin, Ian Vince, Emmanuel, Sabu, Chia, Clement Liang-Tien

“…We accommodate this fact via a simple yet effective strategy of non-uniform binning of the frequency components. This process also leads to reduced space representation of the image thereby enabling the reduced-reference (RR) prospects of the proposed scheme. …”

Measurements of the CKM angle γ at the LHCb experiment by Cheung, S

“…The subsequent <em>D</em> meson decays to the <em>K</em>_S⁰π⁺π⁻ and <em>K</em>_S⁰<em>K</em>⁺<em>K</em>⁻ final states are studied using a binned Dalitz plot analysis. The <em>D</em> strong-phase variation over the Dalitz plot is taken from measurements performed at the CLEO-c experiment, making the analysis independent of a model to describe the <em>D</em> decay amplitude. …”

Neurobiology of culturally common maternal responses to infant cry by Rigo, Paola, Bornstein, Marc H., Putnick, Diane L., Esposito, Gianluca, Swain, James E., Suwalsky, Joan T. D., Su, Xueyun, Du, Xiaoxia, Zhang, Kaihua, Cote, Linda R., De Pisapia, Nicola, Venuti, Paola

“…We found that 684 new primipara mothers in 11 countries (Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Cameroon, France, Kenya, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and the United States) preferentially responded to their infants’ vocalizing distress by picking up and holding and by talking to their infants, as opposed to displaying affection, distracting, or nurturing. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Development and validation of multiplex real-time PCR for simultaneous detection of six bacterial pathogens causing lower respiratory tract infections and antimicrobial resistance... by Dung, TTN, Phat, VV, Vinh, C, Lan, NPH, Phuong, NLN, Ngan, LTQ, Thwaites, G, Thwaites, L, Rabaa, M, Nguyen, ATK, Duy, PT

“…The reproducibility, linearity, limit of detection (LOD) of real-time PCR assays for pathogen detection were evaluated using DNA control mixes and spiked tracheal aspirate. The performance of RT-PCR assays was subsequently compared with the gold standard, conventional culture on 50 tracheal aspirate and sputum specimens of ICU patients.…”

Open-RadVLAD: fast and robust radar place recognition by Gadd, M, Newman, P

“…As the original radar signal is in the form of received power in discretised range bins, we also show experimentally that taking a radial Fourier Transform in this way and matching based on spatial frequencies present in the power signal leads to better performance – leading to a 7% to 8% improvement in localisation success (Section IV and Table II). …”

The artifice that endures the burden of the past : analysing memory in Angela Carter's fictional works. by Yuvaneswari.

“…Carter, too, employs memory as text, using history and the past “as no more than debris to be picked over and eclectically assembled according to the whim of the individual” and an analysis of memory in her texts provides an introduction to the larger issues of fiction, reality, identity and notion of self which always remain central to Carter’s concerns (Gamble 8).…”
