In the past few years many interesting developments have come from studies using the electron microscope. Some of these new methods and discoveries already have a clinical application, others offer a hope of clinical applications and developments in the future. This account will be restricted to work published since 1965. Capabilities and Limitations Though its appearance is impressive and its ...

An extensive study of two current ion mobility resolving power theories ("conditional" and "semi-empirical") was undertaken using a recently developed drift tube ion mobility-mass spectrometer. The current study investigates the quantitative agreement between experiment and theory at reduced pressure (4 Torr) for a wide range of initial ion gate widths (100 to 500 μs), and ion mobility values (...

In this paper first we try to analysis the behavior ofthe SOAs in the optical networks and then have proposed anumerical simple model to simulate the behavior of thesemiconductor optical amplifiers. After that by employing thismodel as inline amplifier for a DWDM optical system, we havesimulated the transmission of 10 channels with bit rate 10 Gb/sup to distance 3970 km with RZ-DPSK modulation ...

The minimum distance for which two points still can be separated from each other defines the resolving power of a visual system. In an echo-acoustic context, the resolving power is usually measured as the smallest perceivable distance of two reflecting surfaces on the range axis and is found to be around half a millimeter for bats employing frequency modulated (FM) echolocation calls. Only few ...

A novel analysis of explosives via the coupling of an airline passenger personnel portal with a high-flow (HF), high-resolution (HR) ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) was shown for the first time. The HF-HR-IMS utilized a novel ion aperture grid design with a (63)Ni ionization source while operating at ambient pressure in the positive ion mode at 200 degrees C. The HF-HR-IMS response characterist...

this paper presents results of applying a new approach on 2d inversion of magnetotelluric (mt) data in order to enhance resolution and stability of the inversion results. due to non-linearity and limited coverage of data acquisition in an mt field campaign, minimizing the error by linearization of the problem in least squares inversion usually leads to an ill-posed problem. in general, an inver...
