The super-resolution PIV based on the recursive division of interrogation window has attracted interest recently. This approach needs careful error checks because results are largely affected by the pre-step displacements obtained by large interrogation windows. Hart (2000 Experiments in Fluids Vol.29-1) proposed the error check method by multiplication between correlation distributions of over...

In neuroscience, phase is assumed to contain more important information about the neural activity than amplitude. However, the most exploited feature in electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain computer interface (BCI) is the amplitude change, phase has been largely ignored, and only phase locking values (PLV) has been introduced in EEG classification recently. In this paper, we define phase inte...

This study is targeted at obtaining fluctuating characteristics of building wakes through measurement of unsteady velocity fields with time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV). Proper orthogonal decomposition is applied to the PIV data to identify low-dimensional substructures of the building wake. This leads to a more reliable estimation of the fluctuating ground-level length of the buil...

A method for the simultaneous measurement of velocity and passive scalar concentration fields by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser induced florescence (PLIF) techniques is described here. An application of the combined PIV-PLIF system is demonstrated by performing simultaneous velocity and concentration measurements in the near field of a turbulent jet mixing flow. The ...

Experimental dual plane particle image velocimetry (PIV) data are assessed using direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of a similar flow with the aim of studying the effect of averaging within the interrogation window. The primary reason for the use of dual plane PIV is that the entire velocity gradient tensor and hence the full vorticity vector can be obtained. One limitation of PIV is the li...

We describe the results from a human clinical trial of a dengue virus serotype-1, purified-inactivated vaccine (DENV-1 PIV) adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide. This first-in-man, Phase 1, open-label clinical trial consisted of two groups of flavivirus-naïve healthy adult volunteers that received two intramuscular vaccine doses of either 2.5 μg or 5 μg of DENV-1 PIV administered on days 0 and 28...

Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is well established as a fluid dynamics measurement tool, being capable of non-intrusively and concurrently measuring a distributed velocity filed. Yet the intensive computational requirements of PIV limit its usage almost exclusively to off-line processing, analysis and modelling. This paper proposes hardware implementation of the cross-correlation algo...

MHC class II (MHCII) molecules play a pivotal role in the induction and regulation of immune responses. The transcriptional coactivator class II transactivator (CIITA) controls MHCII expression. The CIITA gene is regulated by three independent promoters (pI, pIII, pIV). We have generated pIV knockout mice. These mice exhibit selective abrogation of interferon (IFN)-gamma-induced MHCII expressio...
