One of the major physics topics of the CBM experiment is the study of the production of open charm in nucleusnucleus collisions at FAIR energies. For this purpose, the CBM Collaboration is planning to use a high-performance Micro-Vertex Detector (MVD) based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) [1]. CBM running conditions call for a MVD with high granularity, radiation tolerance, and readou...

This study investigates the fire safety problem of a smoke detection system in terms of the probable response of light scattering photoelectric smoke detectors. In particular, response characteristics of the smoke detectors were studied experimentally in a test chamber described in UL268, with cotton wick generated fire smoke flowing at a velocity between of 0.5 ms and 3 ms. Measurements of a ‘...

Hyphenating High Temperature High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HT-HPLC) with High Temperature Size Exclusion Chromatography (HT-SEC) (High Temperature Two Dimensional Liquid Chromatography (HT-HPLC x HT-SEC or HT 2D-LC)) leads to an isocratic elution in the second dimension, which in turn enables to use IR detector (quantitative detection) for monitoring the eluting polymers. Experimental...

background: radiosurgery is a focal brain irradiation technique that delivers, usually in a single session, high dose of ionizing radiation. the presence of lateral electronic disequilibrium and steep dose gradients in small fields demands special attention to the selection of a suitable detector with respect to its size, composition and response. materials and methods : small circular fields w...

The optomotor response (OMR) is a simple experimental paradigm that is widely used in the study of visual system functions. In the current paper we investigated how spatial and temporal properties of repetitive stimuli determine the OMR in zebrafish. The experiments showed that the OMR has the temporal characteristic of a low-pass filter when the spatial frequencies are low and of a band-pass f...

Abstract—The Spatially Modulated Light CMOS detector (SML CMOS detector) removes the slow part of the current response of a traditional CMOS photodetector, by using the difference between the signals of an immediate and a deferred detector. This slow part of the current response limits the maximum frequency of a photodetector in the conventional CMOS technology to a few MHz. Experimental eviden...
