Conference ICASSP IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing Proceedings · May 18, 2016 We consider the problem of recognizing objects in collections of art works, in view of automatically labeling, searching and organizing databases of art works. To avoid manually labelling objects, we introduce a framework for transferring a convolutional n ... Full text Cite

The effect of stereoscopic immersive environments on projection-based multi-dimensional data visualization

Conference Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Visualisation · January 1, 2013 Multidimensional data impose a challenge for visual analyses. Commonly, dimensionality reduction techniques are used to project the multidimensional data into a 2D visual space. Poco et al. [9] showed that projection into a 3D visual space can increase the ...

Production of singlet oxygen by Ru(dpp(SO3)2)3 incorporated in polyacrylamide PEBBLES

Conference Sensors and Actuators B Chemical · April 20, 2003 Polyacrylamide (PAA) and amine-functionalized PAA (AFPAA) nanoparticles with disulfonated 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenantroline ruthenium (Ru(dpp(SO3)2)3) have been prepared. The nanoparticles produced have a hydrodynamic radius ... Full text Cite

Use of steady-state fluorescence anisotropy with PEBBLE nanosensors for chemical analysis

Conference Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering · January 1, 2002 In this study we show that steady-state fluorescence anisotropy within PEBBLEs (Probes Encapsulated By Biologically Localized Embedding) can be used for the optochemical sensing of analytes such as Zn2+, O2, and Ca2+. Stead ... Full text Cite

Preparation and characterization of poly (ethylene glycol)-coated Stöber silica nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Conference Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering · January 1, 2002 Monodisperse, spherical, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated silica nanoparticles have been prepared in the size range of 50-350 nm, and their size and size distribution were characterized by SEM and multi-angle static light scattering experiments. The chemic ... Full text Cite

Experimental chemical kinetics of an A+B→0 system showing non-classical effects of initial reactant distribution

Conference Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings · January 1, 1999 We demonstrate here the implementation of an experimental system suitable for the study of the diffusion-limited A+B→0, non-classical reaction behavior. Using a combination of a fluorescent calcium indicator and a calcium ion which is initially 'caged', a ... Cite

Subcellular optochemical nanobiosensors: Probes encapsulated by biologically localised embedding (PEBBLEs)

Conference Sensors and Actuators B Chemical · August 31, 1998 Described here are arguably the world's smallest stand-alone devices/sensors, consisting of multicomponent nano-spheres with radii as small as 10 nm, occupying ≈1 ppb of a typical mammalian cell's volume. The probe is prepared from up to seven ingredients ... Full text Cite

A compact near-field scanning optical microscope

Conference Ultramicroscopy · March 1, 1998 We present a recently constructed near-field scanning optical microscope which incorporates improvements over our previous designs. This microscope features an ultra-fine mechanical tip/sample approach with continuous submicron control over a range of seve ... Full text Cite

Anomalous diffusion-limited reaction kinetics of a phototrapping reaction

Conference Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings · January 1, 1997 A focused laser beam acts as both a `phototrap', bleaching fluorophore molecules which diffuse into the beam path, and as a confocal probe, detecting the excited, unbleached fluorophore molecules still present in the trap. With this focused laser beam, we ... Cite

Tip/sample infractions. contrast and near-held Microscopy of Biological and solid state samples

Conference Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering · June 4, 1993 Biological samples, molecular solids and solid state devices have been investigated by Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM), Near-Field Optical Spectroscopy, and Near-Field Chemical Sensing. We report here on our progress in applying the NSOM tech ... Full text Cite
