    Roadmap for optical tweezers

    Full text link
    Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAMOptical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work by Arthur Ashkin in the 1970s, optical tweezers have evolved into sophisticated instruments and have been employed in a broad range of applications in the life sciences, physics, and engineering. These include accurate force and torque measurement at the femtonewton level, microrheology of complex fluids, single micro- and nano-particle spectroscopy, single-cell analysis, and statistical-physics experiments. This roadmap provides insights into current investigations involving optical forces and optical tweezers from their theoretical foundations to designs and setups. It also offers perspectives for applications to a wide range of research fields, from biophysics to space explorationEuropean Commission (Horizon 2020, Project No. 812780

    Improving Spatial Codification in Semantic Segmentation

    Get PDF
    This paper explores novel approaches for improving the spatial codification for the pooling of local descriptors to solve the semantic segmentation problem. We propose to partition the image into three regions for each object to be described: Figure, Border and Ground. This partition aims at minimizing the influence of the image context on the object description and vice versa by introducing an intermediate zone around the object contour. Furthermore, we also propose a richer visual descriptor of the object by applying a Spatial Pyramid over the Figure region. Two novel Spatial Pyramid configurations are explored: Cartesian-based and crown-based Spatial Pyramids. We test these approaches with state-of-the-art techniques and show that they improve the Figure-Ground based pooling in the Pascal VOC 2011 and 2012 semantic segmentation challenges.Comment: Paper accepted at the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, ICIP 2015.

    Effect of long range spatial correlations on the lifetime statistics of an emitter in a two-dimensional disordered lattice

    Get PDF
    The effect of spatial correlations on the Purcell effect in a bidimensional dispersion of resonant nanoparticles is analyzed. We perform extensive calculations on the fluorescence decay rate of a point emitter embedded in a system of nanoparticles statistically distributed according to a simple 2D lattice-gas model near the critical point. For short-range correlations (high temperature thermalization) the Purcell factors present a long-tailed statistic which evolves towards a bimodal distribution when approaching the critical point where the spatial correlation length diverges. Our results suggest long-range correlations as a possible origin of the large fluctuations of experimental decay rates in disordered metal films.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

    La Plana Justa (Xàbia, Alicante): un nuevo yacimiento con materiales fenicios y del ibérico antiguo

    Get PDF
    Presentamos el yacimiento protohistórico de la Plana Justa, localizado en el curso de las prospecciones realizadas en los últimos años por el Museu Arqueològic i Etnogràfic Municipal “Soler Blasco” de Xàbia (Alicante). Los restos que se observan en superficie son algunos basamentos de muros y cerámicas –además de otros materiales– que podemos datar entre los ss. VII-V a.C. en base a sus características tecnológicas y a las importaciones presentes, por lo que el asentamiento ofrece buenas perspectivas para el estudio de los períodos más antiguos de la Edad del Hierro. De momentos posteriores son algunas cerámicas de cronología andalusí (ss. X-XI?), indicadoras de una ocupación de escasa entidad que parece situarse en la zona más alta del área que nos ocupa
