Mueller polarimetry is applied to study the samples of nails: natural (or reference) and irradiated to 2 Gy ionizing radiation dose. We measure the whole Mueller matrices of the samples as a function of the scattering angle at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. We apply depolarization analysis to measured Mueller matrices by calculating the depolarization metrics [depolarization index, Q(M)-metric, first and second Lorenz indices, Cloude and Lorenz entropy] to quantify separability of the different samples of nails under study based on differences in their Mueller matrix. The results show that nail samples strongly depolarize the output light in backscattering, and irradiation in all cases results in increasing of depolarization. Most sensitive among depolarization metrics are the Lorenz entropy and Q(M)-metric.

Significance: A data-based calibration method with enhanced depolarization contrast in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) was developed and demonstrated effective for detecting melanin content in the eye.
Aim: We aim to mitigate the dependence between the measured depolarization metric and the intensity signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for improved visualization of depolarizing tissues, especially in low SNR regions, and to demonstrate the enhanced depolarization contrast to evaluate melanin presence.
Approach: A function for calibrating the depolarization metric was experimentally derived from the young albino guinea pig, assuming depolarization free in the retina.
Unlabelled: Human induced pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have proven to be a revolutionary advance for tissue engineering, disease modeling, and drug testing and discovery. Computational modeling enables a detailed electrophysiological analysis that is otherwise difficult or impossible to achieve under strictly experimental settings. Action potential characteristics of hiPSC-CMs measured in our lab at four different pacing rates were used it to modify the computational Kernik-Clancy hiPSC-CM model.

IEEE Trans Biomed Eng
September 2024
Perfusion index (PI), the ratio between variable pulsatile (AC) and non-pulsatile (DC) components in a photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal, is an indirect and non-invasive measure of peripheral perfusion. PI has been widely used in assessing sympathetic block success, and monitoring hemodynamics in anesthesia and intensive care. Based on the principle of dual-wavelength depolarization (DWD) of skin tissues, we propose to investigate its opportunity in quantifying the skin perfusion contactlessly.

The present study explores the intricacies of CALIPSO Level 3 optimized Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Dust Aerosol Optical Depth (DAOD) products. Hence, the study focused on regions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) across different seasons from January 2007 to December 2020. The study utilizes a refined 1° × 1° grid resolution to analyze horizontal distribution patterns, seasonal variations, and the interplay of various aerosol constituents.
