AI Article Synopsis

  • The study compares NO2 slant columns measured by two ground-based multi-axis DOAS instruments, JAMASTEC and AIOFM, over a specific time frame in late 2009.
  • It finds that using adjusted integral time enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, and both instruments show high correlation (0.995) at lower viewing angles, but this correlation decreases at higher angles.
  • The best agreement between the instruments occurs from 9 AM to 5 PM, particularly at a 20-degree direction with a 12% deviation, and measurements in the visible range outperform those in the UV range.

Article Abstract

The study of comparison of NO2 SCD between two ground-based multi axis DOAS is introduced. The slant columns of NO2 from JAMASTEC are compared with those of AIOFM during the period from November to 31 December 2009. It says that the more signal to noise ratio is obtained by using the adjusted integral time rather than fixed settings; Two instrument show good accordance in the lower viewing angles, with the correlation coefficient of 0.995, but it becomes bad with higher viewing angles. The low deviation between the two instruments was achieved during the period from 9am to 17pm, the results in the 20 degree direction show best agreement with a deviation of 12%, but in other period the deviation becomes larger. The results in the visible range are better than those in the UV range, the residual in the fit decreases by more than 60%, and the results in the visible range show good agreements with those of AIOFM in the UV range during the whole day.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the vertebral morphology of grass carp, focusing on the anatomical structure of their vertebral centrum, which is crucial for understanding vertebrate development.
  • - High-resolution micro-CT scans of three abdominal vertebrae revealed that grass carp vertebrae have an amphicoelous shape and show bilateral symmetry, although the caudal aspect is larger and more robust, suggesting possible adaptations related to swimming.
  • - The research raises questions about whether the observed vertebral characteristics are influenced by genetics or environmental factors, and proposes future studies to explore these aspects in both aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates.

The use of lead-drawn ruling lines by ancient scribes for the layout of Greek papyrus rolls was known to us only from classical authors and was postulated by a few scholars in modern times. In situ application of noninvasive Macro X-Ray Fluorescence Imaging Spectroscopy (MA-XRF) to unrolled papyri from Herculaneum, dating from about 200 BC to the 1st century AD, has provided the first direct evidence of such practice in ancient book production. The key experimental proof of periodic lines drawn in lead was gathered by a highly sensitive MA-XRF mobile instrument, which allowed detection of ultra-low trace residues of metals with detection limits that rival synchrotron light instruments.

Glyoxal is one of the representative oxygenated volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere. Its accurate measurement has high significance for the determination of VOC emission sources and the calculation of the global budget of secondary organic aerosol. We investigated the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of glyoxal through observations over a 23-day period.

Cameras with rolling shutters (RSs) dominate consumer markets but are subject to distortions when capturing motion. Many methods have been proposed to mitigate RS distortions for applications such as vision-aided odometry and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. They usually need known line delay d between successive image rows.
