Most sensors or cameras discussed in the sensor network community are usually 3D homogeneous, even though their 2D coverage areas in the ground plane are heterogeneous. Meanwhile, observed objects of camera networks are usually simplified as 2D points in previous literature. However in actual applic...

Two new spectroscopic methods to detect the optical activity of liquid-liquid interfaces have been developed. The first one is the centrifugal liquid membrane (ClM) method combined with a conventional circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry and the second one is a more interfacial specific second...

This thesis puts forward a conjecture that, owing to some unknown special character of light, it is impossible to determine whether the speed of light is variable by the interference method. To verify the hypothesis of the invariance of light speed, a new method must be found to take accurate measur...

The moire interferometry method was used with holographic gratings for high temperature and high speed photography to measure the dynamic deformation of LY12 aluminum plate with a central hole under tensile loading condition and heated by a strong current. Transient full-field fringe patterns were a...

Laboratory-on-a-chip technology has attracted wide interest in recent years, where the sample preparation, bio-chemical reaction, separation, detection and analysis are performed in a small biochip of the size of a fingernail. To obtain a high detection sensitivity of 1 fluors/μm (one fluores...
