Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) solves an inverse scattering problem to obtain label-free, 3D refractive index (RI) estimation of biological specimens. This work demonstrates 3D RI retrieval methods suitable for partially-coherent ODT systems supported by intensity-only measurements consisting of axial and angular illumination scanning. This framework allows for access to 3D quantitative RI contrast using a simplified non-interferometric technique. We consider a traditional iterative tomographic solver based on a multiple in-plane representation of the optical scattering process and gradient descent optimization adapted for focus-scanning systems, as well as an approach that relies solely on 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to invert the scattering process. The approaches are validated using simulations of the 3D scattering potential for weak phase 3D biological samples.

The seismic refraction technique has demonstrated its efficiency as a cost-effective geophysical approach for bedrock investigation, which is very important for major construction projects. In the southern part of New Qena City, in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, construction of many domestic facilities is planned. Therefore, a prior investigation focusing on bedrock is required to validate the site for construction and other projects.

An emulsion of silicone oil droplets in aqueous buffer produces a distinctive series of peaks or resonances in the side scatter histogram in a flow cytometer. As many as 12 peaks are observed in the violet-side scatter channel at 405 nm, with half that number observed in the blue side scatter channel at 488 nm. Using the index of refraction of the oil and buffer, the wavelength of light, and the collection angle and gain of the instrument, we assign the peaks to specific diameters at which Mie resonances occur.

In this work, two general equations were proposed to express the nonlinear and linear changes in physicochemical properties of aliphatic alcohols, involving boiling point, refractive index, critical temperature, critical volume, and so on. The two general equations all are expressed with the same six molecular descriptors. The results show that the linear and nonlinear change properties of aliphatic alcohols have good correlations with the same six molecular descriptors.

Some microorganisms, including lactic acid bacteria (LAB), can bind to mycotoxins. Its binding ability is useful for mycotoxin mitigation. Conventionally, the binding assay for this ability of microorganisms to mycotoxins has been performed by the so-called in vitro assay.
