Surface characterization in fabrication environments using angle resolved light scattering: From roughness and defect analysis to in-situ coating inspection [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The performance of an optical component or surface might quicky be limited by light scattering induced by the surface and coating roughness, as well as imperfections and contaminations. On the other hand, the scattered light contains valuable information

Collimating lens for light-emitting-diode light source based on non-imaging optics

, 2012
A collimating lens for a light-emitting-diode (LED) light source is an essential device widely used in lighting engineering. Lens surfaces are calculated by geometrical optics and nonimaging optics.

Survival After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Syndrome: The Role of Iron Overload—A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We assessed the effect of iron overload (IO) on mortality and complications following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with Diamond–Blackfan anemia syndrome (DBAS) in a systematic review of individual participant data and cohort data from observational studies.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

All-silicon terahertz metasurfaces for multi-focus multiplexed polarization generation

iScience
Summary: Polarization multiplexing enhances communication capacity but faces material limitations requiring complex device cascading. This paper proposes a strategy for generating multiple polarization states by combining geometric phase and propagation ...

Joint Dense 3D Reconstruction Method for Endoscopic Images of Weak Texture Scenes

IEEE Access, 2021
Endoscopic inspection is an important non-destructive testing method. Traditional 3D endoscopic reconstruction methods, such as polarization reconstruction and shading reconstruction, have the drawbacks of not determining the object’s actual size ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Safety of Daprodustat for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease Anemia: Final Analysis of a Multicenter Postmarketing Surveillance Study in Japan

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This final analysis of a multicenter, prospective postmarketing surveillance study evaluated the safety of daprodustat in patients with chronic kidney disease anemia in routine clinical practice in Japan. Methods Patients who initiated daprodustat between September 2020 and July 2022 were registered.

Butterfly Optics Exceed the Theoretical Limits of Conventional Apposition Eyes [PDF]

, 1987
Optical experiments on butterfly compound eyes show that they have angular sensitivities narrower than expected from conventional apposition eyes. This superior performance is explained by a theoretical model where the cone stalk is considered as a ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
