The displacement- and frequency-noise-free interferometer (DFI) is a multiple laser interferometer array for gravitational-wave detection free from both the displacement noise of optics and laser frequency noise. So far, partial experimental demonstrations of the DFI have been done in 2D table top experiments. In this Letter, we report the complete demonstration of a 3D DFI. The DFI consists of...

A fundamental model consisting of charged particles moving in free space exposed to alternating and direct current (ACDC) electromagnetic fields is analyzed. Effects of charged particles initial position and initial velocity to cyclotron resonance frequency are observed. Strong effects are observed revealing that effects of electric and magnetic fields on a charged particle in free space varies...

Precision agriculture is a farm management technology that involves sensing and then responding to the observed variability in the field. Remote sensing is one of the tools of precision agriculture. The emergence of small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) have paved the way to accessible remote sensing tools for farmers. This paper describes the development of an image processing approach to comp...

The fixed-fixed plate test problem. The plate undergoes a maximum of 2 µm of deflection, which corresponds to a pull-in of a switch fabricated in the Poly1 layer in MUMPs. Geometric nonlinearity (large deflections and rotations) is accounted for in the simulations. (a) Length = 400 µm, width = 40 µm, thickness = 2 µm, pressure =-5*10-9 N/µm 2 , Young's Modulus = 0.136 GPa, Poisson's ratio = 0.2...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) High-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NBL) requires multimodality treatment, including external beam radiation of the primary tumor site following resection. Radiotherapy planning must take into account motion of the target and adjacent normal anatomy, both of which are poorly understood in the pediatric population, and which may differ significantly from those in adults. METHODS/M...

STUDY DESIGN Matched group comparison of 3 subject groups with 3 different foot structures for force plate and clinical measures of postural control. OBJECTIVES To determine if subjects with different weight-bearing foot structure would demonstrate differences in static standing postural control, and to determine the reliability of study procedures. BACKGROUND Weight-bearing foot structure ...

Introduction Recently, several approaches that rely on indigenous contrast rather than a Gd-based bolus have been proposed for MR imaging of the renal arteries. Some of this work has been motivated by the need for alternatives to contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) for patients with impaired kidney function due to the occurence of NSF [1]. These techniques are frequently based on bSSFP sequences [2-...

A paper actuator was fabricated from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) by a wet process without organic solvents. The paper actuator had a capacitor structure, with a cationic polymer as an insulating layer sandwiched between two PEDOT:PSS films as the electrodes. The thickness of the paper actuator was approximately 36 m. We measured its displace...

it is correct control and monitoring of modern embankment dams that are very vital in the geotechniqual constructions. the improvement of methods of stability control, using the effective stress and the measurement of ganglionic water pressure in embankment dams cause more the safety for this kind of dams. nowedays there is such an idea that in stead of using of being safety factor against coas...
