This paper introduces a novel slit-less wavelength-dispersive spectrometer design that incorporates a single-bounce monocapillary with the goal of positioning the sample directly on the Rowland circle, thereby eliminating the need for a traditional entrance slit. This configuration enhances photon throughput while preserving energy resolution, demonstrated in comparative measurements on boron nitride and different lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide cathodes. A common alternative to an entrance slit for limiting the source size on the Rowland circle is a customized design of the beamline involving a focusing optics unit consisting of two Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors close to the end station.

Purpose: Motion artifacts caused by heart motion during myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can compromise image quality and diagnostic accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the novel respiratory motion reduction block (RRB) device in reducing motion artifacts by compressing the hypochondrium and improving SPECT image quality.

Methods: In total, 91 patients who underwent myocardial perfusion SPECT with Tc-sestamibi were retrospectively analyzed.

Drop impact phenomena on raw, polished, and topography-altered gradient surfaces are investigated and presented. The main aim of this study is to demonstrate that in using a one-step industrial patterning process, it is possible to obtain metal topographical wetting gradients that can produce various desired outcomes after droplet impact. The findings could be applied to improving wind or steam turbine blades.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging systems involve the measurement of an optical signal at a diffuse surface. A forward model encodes the physics of these measurements mathematically and can be inverted to generate a reconstruction of the hidden scene. Some existing NLOS imaging techniques rely on illuminating the diffuse surface and measuring the photon time of flight (ToF) of multi-bounce light paths.
