Published: August 2014

In this paper, a textile-based sensing principle for long term photopletysmography (PPG) monitoring is presented. Optical fibers were embroidered into textiles such that out-coupling and in-coupling of light was possible. The "light-in light-out" properties of the textile enabled the spectroscopic characterization of human tissue. For the optimization of the textile sensor, three different carrier fabrics and different fiber modifications were compared. The sample with best light coupling efficiency was successfully used to measure heart rate and SpO2 values of a subject. The latter was determined by using a modified Beer-Lambert law and measuring the light attenuation at two different wavelengths (632 nm and 894 nm). Moreover, the system was adapted to work in reflection mode which makes the sensor more versatile. The measurements were additionally compared with commercially available system and showed good correlation.

Carbon emissions have increasingly been the focus of all governments as countries throughout the world choose carbon neutrality as a national development strategy. The analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of CO emission has emerged as a significant research topic considering the dual-carbon goal. In this research, we explore the spatiotemporal changes of CO emission at different scales based on nighttime light data.

Systematic Study of the Synthesis of Monodisperse CsPbI Perovskite Nanoplatelets for Efficient Color-Pure Light Emitting Diodes.

Small

January 2025

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Center for Functional Photonics (CFP), City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, 999077, P. R. China.

Metal halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) possess ultra-narrow photoluminescence (PL) bands tunable over the entire visible spectral range, which makes them promising for utilization in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with spectrally pure emission colors. This calls for development of synthetic methods toward perovskite NPls with a high degree of control over both their thickness and lateral dimensions. A general strategy is developed to obtain such monodisperse CsPbI NPls through the control over the halide-to-lead ratio during heating-up reaction.

Benchmarking of Multispectral Pansharpening: Reproducibility, Assessment, and Meta-Analysis.

J Imaging

December 2024

Department of Information Engineering and Mathematics, University of Siena, 53100 Siena, Italy.

The term pansharpening denotes the process by which the geometric resolution of a multiband image is increased by means of a co-registered broadband panchromatic observation of the same scene having greater spatial resolution. Over time, the benchmarking of pansharpening methods has revealed itself to be more challenging than the development of new methods. Their recent proliferation in the literature is mostly due to the lack of a standardized assessment.

This study explored the effect of lactoferrin (LF)-stabilized fish oil Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPPEs) on the gel property and 3D printing performance of skipjack tuna surimi compared with directly added fish oil. Based on the various environmental stress stability, HIPPEs could remain relatively stable when added to surimi gels. The luminance and whiteness of skipjack tuna surimi gel were significantly (p < 0.

Visual Noise Mask for Human Point-Light Displays: A Coding-Free Approach.

NeuroSci

January 2025

Psychological Neuroscience Laboratory, Psychology Research Center, School of Psychology, University of Minho, Rua da Universidade, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal.

Human point-light displays consist of luminous dots representing human articulations, thus depicting actions without pictorial information. These stimuli are widely used in action recognition experiments. Because humans excel in decoding human motion, point-light displays (PLDs) are often masked with additional moving dots (noise masks), thereby challenging stimulus recognition.
