Breaking the resolution limit in photoacoustic imaging using non-negativity and sparsity

open access: yesPhotoacoustics, 2020
The spatial resolution achievable in photoacoustic imaging decreases with the imaging depth, resulting in blurred images for deeper structures. Apart from technical limitations, the ultimate resolution limit results from the second law of thermodynamics.

Effects of cellulose nanofibers on flexural behavior of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composites with delamination

open access: yesScience and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2023
Understanding the influence of delamination defects on the damage evolution behavior of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) is crucial to improve their engineering applications. This study examined the flexural damage behaviors of CFRP composites by

Shape-based defect classification for Non Destructive Testing

open access: yes, 2015
The aim of this work is to classify the aerospace structure defects detected by eddy current non-destructive testing. The proposed method is based on the assumption that the defect is bound to the reaction of the probe coil impedance during the test ...

Parallel double-plate capacitive proximity sensor modelling based on effective theory

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2014
A semi-analytical model for a double-plate capacitive proximity sensor is presented according to the effective theory. Three physical models are established to derive the final equation of the sensor. Measured data are used to determine the coefficients.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Fiber-optic annular detector array for large depth of field photoacoustic macroscopy

open access: yesPhotoacoustics, 2017
We report on a novel imaging system for large depth of field photoacoustic scanning macroscopy. Instead of commonly used piezoelectric transducers, fiber-optic based ultrasound detection is applied.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

Exogenous melatonin treatment affects ascorbic acid metabolism in postharvest ‘Jinyan’ kiwifruit

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important nutritious substance in fruits, and it also can maintain the biological activity of fruits during storage. This research investigated the effect of exogenous melatonin (MT) on AsA metabolism in postharvest kiwifruit ...
