We present a model for the diffuse reflectance when a continuous beam is incident normally on a half space composed of a uniform scattering and absorbing medium. This model is the result of an asymptotic analysis of the radiative transport equation for strong scattering, weak absorption, and a narrow beam width. Through comparison with the diffuse reflectance computed using the numerical solution of the radiative transport equation, we show that this diffuse reflectance model gives results that are accurate for small source--detector separation distances.

Improved Mechanical Performances of Hastelloy C276 Composite Coatings Reinforced with SiC by Laser Cladding.
Nanomaterials (Basel)
December 2024
School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Soochow University, Suzhou 215137, China.
Composite coatings reinforced with varying mass fractions of SiC particles were successfully fabricated on 316 stainless steel substrates via laser cladding. The phase compositions, elemental distribution, microstructural characteristics, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Vickers hardness testing, friction-wear testing and electrochemical methods. The coatings have no obvious pores, cracks or other defects.

The human brain connectome is characterized by the duality of highly modular structure and efficient integration, supporting information processing. Newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD), prematurity, or spina bifida aperta (SBA) constitute a population at risk for altered brain development and developmental delay (DD). We hypothesize that, independent of etiology, alterations of connectomic organization reflect neural circuitry impairments in cognitive DD.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO to produce organic fuels is a promising strategy for addressing carbon reduction and energy scarcity. Transition metal carbides (TiCT ) are of particular interest due to their unique layered structures and excellent electrical conductivity. However, the practical application of TiCT is limited by the poor separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers and the low migration ability of photogenerated electrons.

Acoustic-phonetic perception refers to the ability to perceive and discriminate between speech sounds. Acquired impairment of acoustic-phonetic perception is known historically as "pure word deafness" and typically follows bilateral lesions of the cortical auditory system. The extent to which this deficit occurs after unilateral left hemisphere damage and the critical left hemisphere areas involved are not well defined.

A linear spot-type multipass cell-enhanced fiber-optic photoacoustic gas microprobe is proposed. To further reduce the volume of the gas chamber and enhance the photoacoustic signal, we designed the cross section of the photoacoustic tube as a slit with a height of 10 mm and a width of 1.5 mm.
