Shear measurement bias: I. Dependencies on methods, simulation parameters, and measured parameters

Frédéric Courbin, Marc Gentile

We present a study of the dependencies of shear bias on simulation (input) and measured (output) parameters, noise, point-spread function anisotropy, pixel size, and the model bias coming from two different and independent galaxy shape estimators. We used ...

Grayscale e-beam lithography: Effects of a delayed development for well-controlled 3D patterning

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Grayscale electron beam lithography (g-EBL) is a fabrication technique that allows for tunable control of resist topography. In most cases, the height of the structures is in the submicron regime. Here, we present an extensive experimental characterization ...

Recent Advances of Malaria Parasites Detection Systems Based on Mathematical Morphology

Michel Kocher

Malaria is an epidemic health disease and a rapid, accurate diagnosis is necessary for proper intervention. Generally, pathologists visually examine blood stained slides for malaria diagnosis. Nevertheless, this kind of visual inspection is subjective, err ...

Transport characteristics of saturated gas diffusion layers treated with hydrophobic coatings

Sophia Haussener, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Mathias Raphaël Niffeler

Water flooding of cathodic gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells at high current densities or low temperatures limits efficient operation due to disturbed transport of reactants to the catalytic sites or products away into the ...

A Disk Asymmetry in Motion Around the B[e] Star MWC158

Ferréol Arnaud Marie Soulez

Context. MWC158 is a star with the B[e] phenomenon that shows strong spectrophotometric variability (in lines and in UV and visible continuum) attributed to phases of shell ejection. The evolutionary stage of this star was never clearly determined. Previou ...

Extraction of QRS fiducial points from the ECG using adaptive mathematical morphology

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani

QRS complex detection in the electrocardiogram (ECG) has been extensively investigated over the last two decades. Still, some issues remain pending due to the diversity of QRS complex shapes and various perturbations, notably baseline drift. This is especi ...

Color Changing Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Petar Pjanic

Printing on a flat metallic substrate has gained popularity in recent years. The reflection of light on a specularly reflecting metallic substrate differs strongly from the reflection of light on a diffusely reflecting medium such as paper. Direct prints o ...

Local Conformational Switching of Supramolecular Networks at the Solid/Liquid Interface

Klaus Kern, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Fernando Pablo Cometto

We use the electric field in a scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate the transition between open and close packed 2D supramolecular networks of neutral molecules in nonpolar media. We found that while the magnitude of the applied field is not decisiv ...
