Evoked potentials in immobilized cats to a combination of clicks with painful electrocutaneous stimuli

Averaged evoked potentials in the auditory, somatosensory, and motor cortical zones, as well as in the mesencephalic reticular formation were recorded in acute experiments on nonanesthetized, immobilized cats. Omission of the painful stimulus after a number of pairings resulted in the appearance of a delayed evoked potential, often resembling the late phases of the response to the painful stimulus. The characteristics of this response are discussed in comparison with conditioned changes of the sensory potential amplitudes

Raman-based geobarometry of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks: applications, problems, and perspectives

Raman-based geobarometry has recently become increasingly popular because it is an elegant way to obtain information on peak metamorphic conditions or the entire pressure-temperature-time (P-T-t) path of metamorphic rocks, especially those formed under ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) conditions. However, several problems need to be solved to get reliable estimates of metamorphic conditions. In this paper we present some examples of difficulties which can arise during the Raman spectroscopy study of solid inclusions from ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks

IR Thermographic System Supplied with an Ordered Fiber Bundle for Investigation of Power Engineering Equipment and Units

In this article, the authors propose an IR imaging system, supplied with an IR bundle of ordered silver halide fibers, for the acquisition of 2D temperature field distribution in hard-to-reach places. We assessed crosstalk between neighboring individual fibers of the bundle, carried out calibration of the IR imaging system, and determined modelled defects using this system. The results showed the applicability of the system for the inspection and investigation of power engineering units. Keywords: IR fiber bundles, IR thermography, internal defects detectio

Fiber-optical system for FTIR spectrometer with diamond ATR unit based on AgBr-(KRS-5) fibers

Разработан и изготовлен опытный образец волоконно-оптической системы к ИК-Фурье спектрометру с алмазной НПВО приставкой на основе световодов AgBr-(КРС-5). Преимущества этой системы связаны с расширенным диапазоном пропускания до 41,6 мкм (по сравнению с известными оптическими волокнами), увеличенной фотостойкостью, уменьшенными оптическими потерями на длине волны 10,6 мкм вследствие введения КРС-5 в решетку исходных галогенидов серебра. Предполагаемое использование результатов и продукции: в ИК-спеткроскопии, где необходим онлайн мониторинг химических реакций и процессов при агрессивных условиях среды (производство удобрений, фармацевтическая и нефтехимическая промышленность).The pre-production model of fiber-optical system for FTIR spectrometer with diamond ATR unit based on AgBr-(KRS-5) fibers was developed and manufactured. Advantages of AgBr-(KRS-5) system are concerned with transparence range, expanded up to 41,5 µm (in comparison with well-known optical fibers), increased photostability, reduced optical losses at 10,6 µm due to KRS-5 introduction into parental silver halide lattice. Prospective application of results and output: in IR spectroscopy, where the chemical reaction and process on-line monitoring is needed in aggressive ambient (fertilizer production, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries).Программа развития УрФУ на 2013 год (п.2.1.2.1

A design framework for attendance tracking systems

An attendance tracking system is a software-hardware based design that is used for counting the number of people who pass through its sensor for a limited period of time. Visitors are usually divided into two classes: incoming and leaving. This thesis is dedicated to developing of attendance tracking system TRIPWIRE which is currently running at Demola New Factory (Tampere location). The system has been created for the purposes of tracking amount of visitors in Demola New Factory Tampere location. Another purpose of this thesis work was to create a customizable system which is friendly for 3rd party solutions. Both of the above issues have been solved by implementing a client-server application. The server part is designed so that it has an API, which provides a framework for the client-side software. The current API supports statistical data collection and analysis, authentication and - different access levels for different users. Client-side software communicates with the server via HTTP-requests, and it can be implemented using any programming language which supports this type of communication. On the hardware level, TRIPWIRE is implemented as a simple 2 infrared lasers based sensor which is tracking incoming and leaving visitors. For the current moment of time (January, 2014) the system is running in a test mode at Demola Tampere location. The thesis describes the process of creating software for the ATS TRIPWIRE from background analysis till making the working prototype, testing procedure and further possibilities for use and maintenance. It also includes system source codes published on the electronic media enclosed as an appendix
