This powerpoint goes through the mechanics of a Michelson Interferometer as well as the theory behind how one works. There is a brief mention of an application of the interferometer, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO).
Adoption of the applied surface-backpressure types of managed pressure drilling (MPD) technologies in deepwater have mainly involved the use of a rotating control device (RCD). The RCD creates a closed drilling system in which the flow out of the well is diverted towards an automated MPD choke manifold (with a high-resolution mass flow meter) that aside from regulating backpressure also increases sensitivity and reduces reaction time to kicks, losses, and other unwanted drilling events. This integration of MPD equipment into floating drilling rigs to provide them with MPD capabilities, including the capacity to perform pressurized mud cap drilling (PMCD) and riser gas mitigation (RGM), has produced improvements not only in drillability and efficiency, but most importantly in process safety. Case histories on how MPD has performed will be presented on the following: • allowed drilling to reach target depth in rank wildcat deepwater wells that have formations prone to severe circulation losses and narrow mud weight windows; • increased drilling efficiency by minimizing non-productive time associated with downhole pressure-related problems and by allowing for the setting of deeper casing seats; • enhanced operational and process safety by allowing for immediate detection of kicks, losses and other critical downhole events. • provided riser gas mitigation capabilities that can detect a gas influx once it enters the drilling fluid stream, and not after it has already broken out above the rig blow-out preventers (BOPs).

A presentation on microscopes- its evolution, history, uses, types, etc. beneficial for pathology students. impart knowledge about types of lens, parts of microscope ands their use.
Microscope is an instrument used to observe the objects which are not visible to our naked eye. Faber (1625) used the term microscope and it is derived from two Greek words namely, Mikros= Small ; Skopian= To See. The Dutch spectacle maker, Zaccharias Janssen (1590) discovered the first microscope, he found that two hand lenses could greatly enlarge the image. His lenses gave 50-100X magnification; this was the beginning of the compound microscope. Robert Hooke (1668) invented compound microscope with two kinds of magnifying lens systems namely objective lens system and ocular lens system. He obtained 200X magnification He observed and described the microscopic structure of cork cells in his ‘’Micrographia’’. Antony Van Leeuwenhoek (1667) who was wrongly credited as inventor of compound microscope actually invented simple microscope by using convex lenses of high magnification power up to 300X.

ASTM testing and other material testing services available at MicomMichel Comtois
Corrosion testing is often done by using ASTM B117. Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials, (usually metals), by chemical reaction with its environment. Corrosion degrades the useful properties of materials and structures, including strength, appearance and permeability to liquids and gases.
ASTM B117 is an accelerated corrosion testMichel Comtois
ASTM B117 is used to produce relative corrosion resistance information for specimens of metals and coated metals exposed in a standardized corrosive environment.
According to ASTM International, ASTM B117, in and of itself, is not a test specification. Rather, it outlines the standard practice for operating salt spray (fog) apparatus. B117 is a document establishing the parameters and requirements for operating a salt spray test chamber. It specifies how to create and maintain the salt fog test environment so that results can be achieved consistently from lab to lab and chamber to chamber.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Basics of Light Reflection
3 categories of reflections: Specular / Scattered / Diffuse
Specular reflection
Mirrors, perfectly polished
metals
Incoming and outgoing beams
have the exact same angle.
3 categories of reflections
Scattered reflection
Most materials fall into that
category
Even if most of the light is
reflected in the specular
angle, surface defects will
scatter the ligh creating a
bell curve deflection. The bell
curve shape will depend on
the microtopography of the
surface.
Diffuse reflection
Best example; White paper.
Also called Lambertian
reflection.
Extreme case of scattered
reflection where light is
reflected in all directions with
an isotropic distribution.

Gloss
First Glossmeter (Glarimeter): 1914
Well known and widely used
Glossmeters measure the ‘shininess’,
brightness (quantity of the light directly
reflected from the surface)
High gloss makes products visually
appealing (Automotive, electronics,
high end products)
20°
60°
85°
Most used angles:
20° (70+ GU)
60° (10-70 GU) / 85°(10 GU)
LIMITATIONS
Not sensitive to effects which reduce
appearance quality
Unable to mimic the human eye
perception of the surface! The human
eye evaluates much more that the
shininess of the surface…

What’s New?
2 products with similar gloss can look very different… why?
Gloss is definitively part of the answer.
However, 2 products with similar gloss can look
very different…why?
Distribution effect
is the key
In a glossmeter, the entering light is treated
as one single value, the distribution effect
(variation) is not taken into account (like it
would be in the human eye). Beam is treated
as a specular reflection.
Nowadays, equipment with light sensor arrays
allow us to take measurements that mimic the
light reflection on the human eyes cones.

Haze is sometimes compared
to “turbidity”
Without Haze
Surfaces without haze show a deep
reflection and high reflected contrast.
With Haze
Surfaces with haze can be seen as
“milky” or “blurry”.
Haze is produced by imperfections/irregularities on the surface that affect the light
distribution around the specular angle.

DOI
DOI measures the
Distinctness Of
Image:
how clearly an image
appears on a reflective
surface.
A low DOI indicates image distorsion
(perfect mirror has a DOI of 100)
DOI quantifies the “sharpness of the
image
A low DOI can be seen as the result of a
high haze
Haze increases / DOI decreases

RIQ
Samples 5 to 10 above show similar DOI results but RIQ
measurements provide discriminant data.
Reflected Image Quality
RIQ
Reflected Image
Quality
is an improved version of the
DOI
RIQ provides a better response to orange peel effects on a wider range of
materials and textures.
For low gloss surfaces or on samples with low orange peel , RIQ provides results
even more in accordance with our visual perception (compared to DOI)
9. www.micomlab.com
RSpec
RSpec is the
Peak Specular
Reflectance
at ± 0.0991° around the
specular angle.
This very precise measurement
quantifies the surface texture as any
wave or ripple on the surface will create
light diffraction and therefore affect
the “light response’.
Perfectly smooth surface:
RSpec value = gloss value
Uneven/textured surface:
Rspec value drops
RSpec value Gloss value
