Computer-Aided Inspection Planning (CAIP) has been a research topic for the past 25 years. Most of the CAIP systems were developed for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). The authors reviewed these CAIP systems and categorized them into two groups: tolerance-driven and geometry-based CAIP systems. Compared with CMMs, On-Machine Inspection (OMI) systems provide direct inspection in manufacturi...

Left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease due to external compression by a dilated main pulmonary artery (MPA) is an uncommon clinical entity. Here, we describe a 52-year-old woman with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and anteroseptal old myocardial infarction (OMI). The cause of the OMI was external compression of the LMCA by the dilated MPA and aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Vals...

Abstract. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), TROPOspheric (TROPOMI) satellite spectrometers were used to update extend previously developed global catalogue of large SO2 emission sources. This version 2 covers period 2005–2021 includes a total 759 continuously emitting point sources releasing about 10 kt yr−1 more tha...

Mobile phone data is a typical type of big with great potential to explore human mobility and individual portrait identification. Previous studies in population classifications mobile only focused on spatiotemporal patterns their clusters. In this study, novel analytical framework an integration spatial non-spatial behavior, through smart APP (applications) usage preference, was proposed portra...

Changes in the amounts of cellular eumelanin and pheomelanin have been associated with carcinogenesis. The goal of this work is to develop methods based on two-photon-excited-fluorescence (TPEF) for measuring relative concentrations of these compounds. We acquire TPEF emission spectra (λ(ex)=1000  nm) of melanin in vitro from melanoma cells, hair specimens, and in vivo from healthy volunteers. ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the feasibility of an implantable subconjunctival glucose monitoring system (SGMS) for long-term glucose monitoring, we investigated the in vivo performance of the system. METHOD The SGMS consists of an implantable ocular mini implant (OMI) and a handheld fluorescence photometer. A clinical study was performed on 47 diabetes patients split into two cohorts. Two d...

The last decade has seen frequent occurrences of severe air pollution episodes of high loading in SO2 during winters in the North China Plain (NCP). Using satellite data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem) simulations, and National Center for Environmental Predication (NCEP) meteorological reanalysis, this study examines meteorological and synoptic ...

[1] In this work, we map and develop for the first time an independent satellite constrained NOx emission inventory for India for 2005 using an inverse technique and iterative procedure. We used OMI tropospheric NO2 column retrievals over the Indian region, with tropospheric NO2 columns simulated by the WRF‐Chem model using the INTEX‐B emission inventory. We determined the local relationship be...

We compare tropospheric NO2 column measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the EOS Aura satellite with coincident in situ aircraft measurements on vertical spirals over the southern United States, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico during the INTEX-B campaign in March 2006. Good correlation with no significant bias (r 1⁄4 0:67, slope 1⁄4 0:99 0:17, n 1⁄4 12) is found for the ...

The development of highly efficient analytical methods capable of probing biological systems at system level is an important task that is required in order to meet the requirements of the emerging field of systems biology. Optical molecular imaging (OMI) is a very powerful tool for studying the temporal and spatial dynamics of specific biomolecules and their interactions in real time in vivo. I...
