Vacuum based devices, such as Photo Multiplier Tubes (PMT) and Micro Channel Plates (MCP), have been for many years the sensors of choice for most applications calling for photon counting and timing (Renker, 2004). While providing very good sensitivity, noise and timing characteristics, these photodetectors feature a number of disadvantages: they are bulky, fragile, and sensitive to magnetic fi...

ELECT A fast tracking system is demonstrated that is based on single laser illumination and a few single-pixel single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors that improves on the previous tracking of non-line-of-sight motion by a factor of 300 in laser power. With an average illumination power of only 2 mW, a 15 cm ×15 cm object located up to 2.5 m away is tracked whilst outside of the direct l...

There is a growing interest in photoplethysmography (PPG) for the continuous monitoring of cardio-respiratory signals by portable instrumentation aimed at early diagnosis cardiovascular diseases. In this context, it conceivable that PPG sensors working different wavelengths simultaneously can optimize identification apneas and quantification associated heart-rate changes or other parameters dep...

chemical fertilizers are threat in hman life and today application of biological fertilizer find more important. this study performed in order to evaluate the effects application of biofertilizers with urea fertilizer on yield, protein percentage and numbers of eyes in plant, plant height and chlorophyll spad in potato var. marphona. a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized comp...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring the application of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) optical wireless communication (OWC). As photon counting detector, SPAD can provide much higher sensitivity compared to other commonly used photodetectors. However, SPAD-based receivers suffer from significant dead-time-induced non-linear distortion and signal dependent noise....

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are widely used for weak light detection due to their high gain and sensitivity. Unfortunately, SPAD devices have random telegraph signal (RTS) noise during the transition phase, which makes circuit design more difficult. Therefore, modeling of RTS in is great significance processing circuits. However, not included traditional equivalent model. In response...

ABSTRACT- Titanium is a beneficial element for plant since its promotive effect on plant metabolism has been well documented. However, the physiological role of this trace element in tomato is not clear. This experiment was conducted as a complete randomized design to study two concentrations of titanium (1 and 2 mg/L Ti) and 0 as control on physiological and nutrient properties of tomato cv. F...

The aim of this research was evaluate the seedling behavior of among Pistacia species can be used as rootstock in pistachio. Differences in stem diameter were observed among the species. The thickest stems were developed by P. atlantica (5.67 mm), P. vera cv. ‘Qazvini’ (25.47mm) and ‘Badami-e-Riz-e-Zarand’ (5.13 mm) whereas the thinnest stems were measured in P. atlantica subsp. kurdica (3.48 m...
