Mechanical drift is a long-standing problem in optical microscopy that occurs in all three dimensions. This drift increasingly limits the resolution of advanced surface-coupled, single-molecule experiments. We overcame this drift and achieved atomic-scale stabilization (0.1 nm) of an optical microscope in 3D. This was accomplished by measuring the position of a fiducial mark coupled to the micr...

We address the problem of distinguishing between two sources of disagreement in annotations: genuine subjectivity and slip of attention. The latter is especially likely when the classification task has a default class, as in tasks where annotators need to find instances of the phenomenon of interest, such as in a metaphor detection task discussed here. We apply and extend a data analysis techni...

In the present study, crystal plasticity models applicable for reproducing work-hardening behavior under various loading paths of an A5083-O Al alloy sheet were examined. The consideration tension, reverse from compression to simple shear, and biaxial tension. accumulated-slip-based hardening model with extended Voce law provided good predictive accuracy uniaxial loadings. contrast, it could no...

The importance of the slip flow over the no-slip condition is widely accepted in microscopic scaled domains with the direct impact on microfluidic and nanofluidic systems. The popular Navier Stoke’s (N-S) flow model is largely utilized with the slip flow phenomenon. In the present study, the finite integral transform scheme along with the shift of variables is implemented to solve the equation ...

Slow slip forms part of the spectrum of fault behaviour between stable creep and destructive earthquakes1,2. Slow slip occurs near the boundaries of large earthquake rupture zones3,4 and may sometimes trigger fast earthquakes2. It is thought to occur in faults comprised of rocks that strengthen under fast slip rates, preventing rupture as a normal earthquake, or on faults that have elevated por...

A new method is proposed to measure bacterial cells under growth conditions. Bacterial cells, suspended in their growth medium, were attached to a cover slip with poly-L-lysine. The cover slip was inverted and placed on a glass microscope slide. To prevent dehydration of the medium, the edges of the cover slip were sealed to the microscope slide with clear fingernail polish. The bacteria on the...
