A Systematic, Cross-Model Evaluation of Ensemble Light Scattering Sensors by Abhay Vidwans, Pratim Biswas

“…Calibrations were performed in a simple aerosol chamber experiment, and correlations were performed to give rise to characteristic performance parameters of the sensor—sensitivity, precision, accuracy, saturation limit, and limit-of-detection. All six sensors had identical optics and geometry, isolating the effect of signal processing circuit topography on performance parameters for particulate matter measurement. …”

Effectiveness of Contrast Agents and Molecular Indicators in Alzheimer's Diagnosis Through PET and SPECT Imaging on Animal Models by Yasaman Abaszadeh, Ramin Ardalani, Athena Dehghan Najm Abadi

“…Upon examining the postmortem brains of AD patients, the disease is associated with neuropathological features such as the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques, also known as senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of highly phosphorylated tau in the brain. Early detection and diagnosis of AD are crucial, but current research on the effectiveness of contrast agents and molecules is limited. …”
