Effects of Soil Texture on Effective Mixing Depth and Solute Loss by WANG Jie, ZHENG Hao, LI Zihan, REN Shaocong, WANG Shuoguo, LIAN Qijie, WEI Yujie, CAI Chongfa

“…［Objective］ The effective mixing depth is an essential parameter for quantifying and predicting solute loss. It is of great significance to quantify the effective mixing depth of texture-differentiated soils and investigate the response of effective mixing depth to soil erosion, and solute loss in the modeling of agricultural non-point source pollution. …”

An applied noise model for scintillation-based CCD detectors in transmission electron microscopy by Christian Zietlow, Jörg K. N. Lindner

“…Further, signals measured with pixelated detectors are convolved with the inherent detector point spread function. The Poisson noise, arising from the quantized nature of the beam electrons, gets correlated by this convolution, which allows to reconstruct the detector PSF based on the Wiener–Khinchin theorem and the Pearson correlation coefficients under homogeneous illumination conditions. …”
