Real-Time Walk Error Compensation Method Using Echo Signal Magnitude Measurement in ToF Laser Scanners.

The rapid advancement of mobile laser scanner technology used for terrain mapping, among other things, imposes increasing requirements for scanning frequency and distance measurement accuracy. To meet these requirements, rangefinder modules are expected to operate with high echo signal dynamics and to allow accurate distance measurement even based on single-laser-pulse echo detection. Such performance can be potentially achieved using pulsed time-of-flight (ToF) laser rangefinders (LRF).

Methods of Precise Distance Measurements for Laser Rangefinders with Digital Acquisition of Signals.

The article presents methods of long range distance measurements using pulsed lasers and the Time of Flight principle. Various algorithms of laser distance measurements with digital acquisition of echo pulses (acquisition of a signal's full waveform) are presented. The main focus of work is concentrated on the method of distance measurements developed by the authors.

Distinguishing Drones from Birds in a UAV Searching Laser Scanner Based on Echo Depolarization Measurement.

Widespread availability of drones is associated with many new fascinating possibilities, which were reserved in the past for few. Unfortunately, this technology also has many negative consequences related to illegal activities (surveillance, smuggling). For this reason, particularly sensitive areas should be equipped with sensors capable of detecting the presence of even miniature drones from as far away as possible.

The development of a decellularized extracellular matrix-based biomaterial scaffold derived from human foreskin for the purpose of foreskin reconstruction in circumcised males.

The circumcision of males is emphatically linked to numerous sexual dysfunctions. Many of the purported benefits do not hold up to the scrutiny of extensive literature surveys. Involuntary circumcision, particularly when not medically warranted, is also associated with many psychological and emotional traumas.

Specific MicroRNAs Differentiate Adrenocortical Adenomas from Carcinomas and Correlate With Weiss Histopathologic System.

MicroRNAs (miRs) play a central role in regulating gene expression and are strongly associated with cancer development. This study sought to determine if adrenocortical carcinomas can be differentiated from adenomas by their miR profiles and to correlate the findings with the histologic Weiss system for identifying malignancy in adrenocortical tumors (ACTs). Forty-six primary and 2 recurrent ACTs retrieved from the files of the pathology department of a tertiary medical center were evaluated blindly for the Weiss criteria.
