Compressed single-shot hyperspectral imaging for combustion diagnostics.

This paper demonstrates a compressed sensing-based single-shot hyperspectral imaging system for combustion diagnostics. The hyperspectral system can capture well-resolved spectra in a 2D plane through a single shot, i.e.

Single-shot nanosecond-resolution multiframe passive imaging by multiplexed structured image capture.

The Multiplexed Structured Image Capture (MUSIC) technique is used to demonstrate single-shot multiframe passive imaging, with a nanosecond difference between the resulting images. This technique uses modulation of light from a scene before imaging, in order to encode the target's temporal evolution into spatial frequency shifts, each of which corresponds to a unique time and results in individual and distinct snapshots. The resulting images correspond to different effective imaging gate times, because of the optical path delays.

High-speed flame chemiluminescence imaging using time-multiplexed structured detection.

In this work, high-speed flame chemiluminescence has been obtained by using the time-multiplexed structured detection (TMSD) imaging method from a single snapshot. TMSD sheers the time lapse into the spatial frequency shifts, which allows multiple high-speed images to be frequency upshifted into distinct spatial frequency regions from the original image. A cumulative exposure captured in a single snapshot image contains distinct time evolution.

The influence of eastern philosophy on elder care by Chinese Americans: attitudes toward long-term care.

Chinese philosophy has been a major cornerstone of Chinese culture for millennia and has bestowed on the world traditions such as Taoism, Yin and Yang, and filial piety. Although these beliefs have remained steadfast over thousands of years, their ability to survive unchanged in the future is uncertain. As the world forges ahead into the 21st century, several pertinent questions arise: Will age-old axioms, primarily those concerning elderly Chinese and their relationship with their children, survive? When ancient, traditional beliefs conflict with newer, Western ideas, which system of thought is likely to be the victor? Moreover, will elderly Chinese Americans and their perceptions concerning long-term care facilities cause problems with the traditional familial unit? This article will discuss these issues in detail.

Reliability of reporting of self-monitoring of blood glucose in pregnant women.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of reporting of self-monitored blood glucose in pregnant women with diabetes.

Design: A descriptive study. Patient-recorded logs of self-monitored blood glucose values were compared to meter memory values.
