Experimental Techniques: Developments, Applications and Tutorials in Experimental Mechanics Techniques

Recent Developments in Experimental Techniques for Measuring Two Pulses Simultaneously

As many high-intensity ultrafast-optical measurements involve more than one pulse—typically one to excite a medium under study and another to probe it—a technique for measuring two pulses simultaneously is highly desirable. In two decades, two-pulse measurement techniques have advanced from ambiguity-laden to a recently developed technique that can measure a pulse pair with arbitrary central wa...

Biofilms and mechanics: a review of experimental techniques and findings

Biofilms are developmentally-dynamic communities of sessile microbes that adhere to each other and, often, to other structures in their environment. The cohesive mechanical forces binding microbes to each other confer mechanical and structural stability on the biofilm and give rise to biofilm viscoelasticity. The adhesive mechanical forces binding microbes to other structures in their environme...

Digital Techniques in Experimental Medicine

Color Doppler and intravenous angiography (digital technique) can widely be used in experimental medicine. Their wide clinical application, availability, simplicity and small cost impose their importance. Color Doppler analysis of the vascular activity of certain region is more precise than the classic intravenous angiography, but requires contact of highly sophisticated equipment with the expe...

Emerging Optical CDMA Techniques and Applications

In this paper we present an in-depth review on the trends and the directions taken by the researchers worldwide in Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) systems. We highlight those trends and features that are believed to be essential to the successful introduction of various OCDMA techniques in communication systems and data networks in near future. In particular we begin by giving a c...
