CMOS sensors for imaging blood flow (2010)
Journal Article
Morgan, S., Hayes-Gill, B., & Crowe, J. (2010). CMOS sensors for imaging blood flow. Optics and Photonics News, 21(1), 32-37. https://doi.org/10.1364/OPN.21.1.000032

Smart CMOS sensors can extract parameters of interest from incoming signals at the sensor and therefore overcome the data bottleneck between sensor and processor. This enables full-field laser Doppler blood flow imaging to be obtained at a frame rate... Read More about CMOS sensors for imaging blood flow.

We consider the three crossing probability densities for percolation recently found via conformal field theory [23]. We prove that all three of them (i) may be simply expressed in terms of Cardy’s [4] and Watts’ [24] crossing probabilities, (ii) are...

Evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of speaker's information source, is an understudied phenomenon in languages such as English and German, which do not encode evidential meaning in the grammar. However, there are several lexical means by which sp... Read More about Auditory Evidentiality in English and German: The Case of Perception Verbs.

In 3 habituation experiments, rats with excitotoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex were found to be indistinguishable from control rats. Two of the habituation experiments examined the habituation of suppression of responding on an appetitive, inst...
