CSF-hydrodynamic investigation using the constant pressure infusion method was used in children. The CSF resting pressure was recorded and the CSF formation rate was measured. The conductance of the CSF outflow pathways and the pressure in the sagittal sinus were calculated. The method was used in children with suspicion of disturbed CSF hydrodynamics due to various neurological and other condi...

We propose a novel 8-channel wavelength multimode interference (MMI) demultiplexer in slot waveguide structures that operate at 1530 nm, 1535 nm, 1540 nm, 1545 nm, 1550 nm, 1555 nm, 1560 nm, and 1565 nm. Gallium nitride (GaN) surrounded by silicon (Si) was found to be a suitable material for the slot-waveguide structures. The proposed device was designed by seven 1 × 2 MMI couplers, fourteen S-...

We have set up a near-infrared microscope using a tuneable diode laser in the range from 1530 to 1570 nm. This spectral range is close to the peak of the water overtone absorption. We used this new microscope to study liver cells, hepatocytes, showing that quantitative information of the intracellular water concentration in living cells can be extracted.

This article employs a large database of 10,360 deaths taken from registrations graves dug and church bells tolled at Haarlem between the years 1412 1547—one largest samples longest series mortality evidence ever produced for medieval Holland—and systematically compares findings with seventeenth-century burial register same city. It concludes that we should put aside any lingering notion late H...

Raman spectroscopy (RS) has been widely used for disease diagnosis, e.g., cardiovascular (CVD), owing to its efficiency and component-specific testing capabilities. A series of popular deep learning methods have recently introduced learn nuance features from RS binary classifications achieved outstanding performance than conventional machine methods. However, these existing still confront some ...
