Principles of Optical Fibre Sensors and Instrumentation
Measurement + Control, 1982 An overview of optical fibre sensors and instrumentation is presented. Sensors can be divided into two types: continuous transducers in which light is modulated along the whole length of the fibre, and point transducers which are sensitive to an external

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
