A CMOS Image Sensor Dark Current Compensation Using In-Pixel Temperature Sensors.

This paper presents a novel technique for dark current compensation of a CMOS image sensor (CIS) by using in-pixel temperature sensors (IPTSs) over a temperature range from -40 °C to 90 °C. The IPTS makes use of the 4T pixel as a temperature sensor. Thus, the 4T pixel has a double functionality, either as a pixel or as a temperature sensor.

Histopathological survey of parasites harboured by the clam Tawera elliptica (Lamarck, 1818) from Chiloé Archipelago, southeastern Pacific.

Tawera elliptica (commonly known as "Almeja Juliana", is a venerid clam that inhabits sandy bottoms and is distributed from Valparaíso on the Pacific coast up to the Mar del Plata area along the Atlantic coast. Harvests of this clam have declined substantially over the last decade. Therefore, an analysis of common parasites and pathological conditions of this clam was undertaken along with histopathology.

Effect of Sperm Ratio and Temperature on Fertilization and Early Larval Development of the Surf Clam (Bivalvia:Mesodesmatidae).

The effect of sperm ratio on fertilization was evaluated in five sperm:oocytes treatments (10:1, 50:1, 100:1, 500:1 and 1000:1), the effect of temperature on embryonic and larval development in three temperature treatments (13 °C, 16 °C and 19 °C) was recorded and the duration of each stage, the growth rate and survival rate were registered. The oocytes were spherical (67.5 ± 4.
