The determination of the reduced scattering and absorption coefficients of structural anisotropic turbid semi-infinite media and slabs was investigated in the steady-state and time domains. Forward calculations were performed with a Monte Carlo model that considered both cylindrical scatterers aligned in different directions as well as scatterers that were described by a rotationally symmetric scattering function. Analytical solutions of the isotropic and anisotropic diffusion equations were applied to retrieve the optical properties. It was found in the steady-state and time domains that the solutions of the anisotropic diffusion equation have systematic errors compared to the Monte Carlo simulations not only for small distances from the source. However, it is shown that in the time domain it is possible to retrieve useful values for the optical properties using the isotropic and the anisotropic diffusion equations.

Diffusion MRI is a leading method to non-invasively characterise brain tissue microstructure across multiple domains and scales. Diffusion-weighted steady-state free precession (DW-SSFP) is an established imaging sequence for post-mortem MRI, addressing the challenging imaging environment of fixed tissue with short T and low diffusivities. However, a current limitation of DW-SSFP is signal interpretation: it is not clear what diffusion 'regime' the sequence probes and therefore its potential to characterise tissue microstructure.

Hysteresis characteristics widely affects the performance and reliability of pneumatic systems across various industrial applications. Addressing this challenge can significantly enhance system efficiency and precision. This paper aims to develop a rapid and accurate method for controlling the actuating force of a Single-Acting Pneumatic Cylinder (SAPC), considering hysteresis characteristic.

The 2024 Zurich perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) summit reiterated the urgent need for non-selective analytical approaches for PFC detection. 19F NMR holds great potential, however, sensitivity limitations lead to long analysis times and/or the possibility of not detecting low concentration species. Steady State Free Precession (SSFP) NMR collects the signal in a steady state regime, allowing 100's of acquisitions in the timespan of a single traditional NMR scan.

Microbes experience dynamic conditions in natural habitats as well as in engineered environments, such as large-scale bioreactors, which exhibit increased mixing times and inhomogeneities. While single perturbations have been studied for several organisms and substrates, the impact of recurring short-term perturbations remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to repetitive gradients of four different sugars: glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose.

Accurate decoding of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in the shortest possible time is essential for the realization of a high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP). However, the degradation of decoding performance of short-length EEG signals is often unavoidable due to the reduced information, which hinders the development of BCI systems in real-world applications. In this paper, we propose a relaxed matching knowledge distillation (RMKD) method to transfer both feature-level and logit-level knowledge in a relaxed manner to improve the decoding performance of short-length EEG signals.
