A digital speckle pattern interferometer based on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera is described. The temporal evolution of dynamic deformation is measured using interframe phase stepping. The flexibility of the CMOS detector is used to identify regions of interest with full-field time-averaged measurements and then to interrogate those regions with time-resolved measurements sampled at up to 70 kHz. A numerical and analytical investigation shows that the maximum surface velocity that can be reliably measured with interframe phase stepping corresponds to +/-0.3 times the surface velocity at which the interferogram is sampled at the Nyquist limit.

To study the enhancement effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the splitting tensile properties of foamed concrete backfill in which cement and fly ash were used as the cementitious materials and natural sand was used as the aggregate, specimens of CNT-modified foamed concrete backfill were prepared. Brazilian splitting tests were used to investigate the splitting tensile strength of the CNT-modified foamed concrete backfill, and the digital speckle correlation method was used to analyze the stress field characteristics and crack expansion law of the specimens during splitting tensile testing. The stress-strain characteristics and energy dissipation laws of the backfill were studied at various static loading rates, and a relationship between the splitting tensile strength, ultimate strain, and loading rate was established.

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is crucial for maintaining brain function and holds significant implications for diagnosing neurological disorders. However, the neuron type and spatial specificity in NVC remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal characteristics of local cerebral blood flow (CBF) driven by excitatory (VGLUT2) and inhibitory (VGAT) neurons in the mouse sensorimotor cortex.

External quality assurance (EQA) programs play a pivotal role in monitoring laboratory practices, allowing each laboratory to evaluate the consistency of results across different methods as well the ability of individual laboratories to compare and improve over time their own performance. The objective of our study was to analyze the UK NEQAS EQA reports for the "Antibodies to Nuclear and Related Antigens" program from 2013 to 2023, to assess the overall level of harmonization of the responses for anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) testing by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), in terms of both pattern and titer consensus. As a second aim, we analyzed the impact of the introduction in UK NEQAS EQA reports of the International Consensus on ANA Patterns (ICAP) nomenclature and of digital image recognition on the harmonization of the ANA HEp-2 IIF test.

A diversity of organisms live within underground environments. However, visualizing subterranean behavior is challenging because of the opacity of most substrates. We demonstrate that laser speckle imaging, a non-invasive technique resolving nanometer-scale movements, facilitates quantifying biological activity in a granular medium.

Speckle noise, mechano-physical noise, and environmental noise are inevitably introduced in digital holographic coherent imaging, which seriously affects the quality of phase maps, and the removal of non-Gaussian statistical noise represented by speckle noise has been a challenging problem. In the past few years, deep learning methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made good progress in removing Gaussian noise. However, they tend to fail when these deep networks designed for Gaussian noise removal are used to remove speckle noise.
