ELT science drivers stress aperture, Strehl ratio, PSF definition andstability, field of view, wavelength range, flexibility, lowpolarisation and thermal emittance, auxiliary instruments, site andinfrastructure. Applicable science categories are planets and planetarysystems, stars and stellar systems, galaxies and galaxy clusters, andcosmology. ELT observations are needed for our own and other pla

In the present paper an iterative time-reversal algorithm, that retrofocuses an acoustic wave field to its controllable part is established. For a fixed temporal support, i.e., transducer excitation time, the algorithm generates an optimal retrofocusing in the least-squares sense. Thus the iterative time-reversal algorithm reduces the temporal support of the excitation from the requirement of neglig

Biomedical Optics as an interdisciplinary field of science has been developed during many years and is experiencing tremendous growth, to cover a wide range of optical techniques and methods, utilized for medical therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Biomedical optics contributes in the introducing methods and creation of devices used in healthcare of various specialties, such as ophthalmology, car

This paper gives an account of Colin McGinn's essay: "Can We Solve the Mind-Body Problem?". McGinn's answer to his own essay title is that the problem is forever beyond us due to the particular nature of our cognitive abilities. The present author offers a number of criticisms of the arguments which support this conclusion

In this paper, we investigate the analog front-end imperfection in multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems and propose a joint estimation and compensation scheme. The estimation of CFO and SFO is presented on frequency domain, which is robust to frequency dependent I/Q imbalance. After that, I/Q imbalance and channel response is jointly estimate

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bildgivande system har en allt mer framträdande roll inom sjukvård och medicinsk forskning. En del av dessa system fungerar genom att en patient eller ett försöksdjur injiceras med ett läkemedel märkt med ett radioaktivt ämne, och sedan mäts den strålning som detta ämne avger för att skapa en bild av var ämnet, och därmed läkemedlet, befinner sig. Det finns både system Molecular imaging, both in vivo and ex vivo, is playing an increasingly important role in preclinical medical research. When using radionuclide-labeled tracers, e.g. in the development of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging or for radionuclide therapy, quantitative in vivo imaging can be performed using emission tomography. Quantitative autoradiography of thin tissue sections is employed t
