Cranial ultrasound scans are very essential part of the routine investigation of neonatal intensive care. The scan ultrasound image sequence are not only used for real-time diagnosis but also recorded for future diagnosis, offline analysis of ultrasonogram images and the study of tissue velocity in neonatal cranium. Tissue motion in neonatal cranium is an important physical parameter in discuss...

We present a technique for measuring transient microscopic dynamics within deep tissue with sub-second temporal resolution, using diffusing-wave spectroscopy with gated single-photon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) combined with standard ungated multi-tau correlators. Using the temporal autocorrelation function of a reference signal allows to correct the temporal intensity autocorrelation function...

1. The rate of pulsation of the anterior contractile vacuole of Paramecium caudatum under chloretone anesthesia has been determined over a range of temperatures from 9-31 degrees C. It has been found that the rate is a logarithmic function of the temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. From 9-16 degrees the temperature characteristic (micro) has the value 25,600; from 16-22 degrees it ...

The period-luminosity relation of Miras and semiregular variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud and in the Galaxy is used to locate their instability domain in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We take advantage of the considerable width in luminosity of the relation at given period to assign masses to the observed long-period variables using stellar models on the the asymptotic giant branch and...

To emulate a spiking neuron, a photonic component needs to be excitable. In this paper, we theoretically simulate and experimentally demonstrate cascadable excitability near a self-pulsation regime in high-Q-factor silicon-on-insulator microrings. For the theoretical study we use Coupled Mode Theory. While neglecting the fast energy and phase dynamics of the cavity light, we can still preserve ...

Pulsating cone-jets occur in a variety of electrostatic spraying and printing systems. This paper reports an experimental study of the pulsation frequency to reconcile two models based on a choked jet and an oscillating cone, respectively. The two regimes are demarcated by the ratio of the supplied flow rate (Qs) to the minimum flow rate (Qm) required for a steady Taylor cone-jet. When Qs . Qm,...

Visual dysfunction secondary to optic nerve compression and its relationship with aneurysm size, pulsation and thrombosis is poorly understood. We present a patient with a giant paraclinoid aneurysm resu...

PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to: (1) evaluate the subarachnoid space (SAS) width and pial artery pulsation in both hemispheres, and (2) directly compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to near-infrared transillumination/backscattering sounding (NIR-T/BSS) measurements of SAS width changes in healthy volunteers. METHODS The study was performed on three separate groups of volunteers, c...
