Using sensitivity analysis to identify key factors for the propagation of a plant epidemic [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Identifying the key factors underlying the spread of a disease is an essential but challenging prerequisite to design management strategies. To tackle this issue, we propose an approach based on sensitivity analyses of a spatiotemporal stochastic model ...

High sensitivity refractive index sensor based on simple diffraction from phase grating [PDF]
, 2016 We present a technique for refractive index sensing using a phase grating structure. A grating under normal incidence can be designed such that the 1st order diffracted light travels at a diffraction angle of 90o with respect to the 0th order.

A spatial refractive index sensor using whispering gallery modes in an optically trapped microsphere [PDF]
, 2006 We propose the use of an optically trapped, dye doped polystyrene microsphere for spatial probing of the refractive index at any position in a fluid. We demonstrate the use of the dye embedded in the microsphere as an internal broadband excitation source,
