ticl4, ammonia, inorganic salts as raw material, nanometer composite-crystal tio2 powders were synthesized by two-step chemical method. precursors were crystallized with different phase and stable composite-crystal tio2 with anatase and rutile phase was prepared at low temperature. quantitative control of crystal phase was realized. remarkable factors including reaction ph value, reaction time,...

Introduction: Image quality and accuracy of in vivo activity quantification in SPECT are affected by collimator penetration and scatter components, especially in high energy imaging. These phenomena highly depend on the collimator characteristic and photon energy. The presence of penetrated and scattered photons from collimator in SPECT images degrades spatial resolution, contr...

: optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (pr) crystal are investigated. each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. the two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...

This paper examines free-form modeling of gravitational lenses using Bayesian ensembles of pixelated mass maps. The priors and algorithms from previous work are clarified and significant technical improvements are made. Lens reconstruction and Hubble Time recovery are tested using mock data from simple analytic models and recent galaxy-formation simulations. Finally, using published data, the H...

Pixelated Photon Detectors (PPDs) are the most promising semiconductor photodetectors in recent years. One of the issues with the PPD is its high noise rate. As well as random noise, PPD also exhibits so called after-pulsing and optical crosstalk, and these limit the applicable range of its gain as well as its size. By accurately measuring each of these causes of noises independently, we quanti...

We report the application of a nonvolatile ionic gel as a soft, conductive interface for electrotactile stimulation. Materials characterization reveals that, compared to a conventional ionic hydrogel, a glycerol-containing ionic gel does not dry out in air, has better adhesion to skin, and exhibits a similar impedance spectrum in the range of physiological frequencies. Moreover, psychophysical ...

We present a theoretical model that describes the resolution and linearity of a novel transparent X-ray beam imaging and position measurement method. Using a pinhole or coded aperture camera with pixelated area sensors to image a small fraction of radiation scattered by a thin foil placed at oblique angles with respect to the beam, a very precise measurement of the beam position is made. We sho...
