CONT

High content screening(HCS) refers to the image-based analysis of cellular morphology. In a typical experiment, monolayer cell cultures are fixed, stained with organelle-or cellular-component-specific fluorescent markers, and then imaged by automated microscopy. Images are "segmented" to identify cells or sub-cellular structures, and morphological "features"(such as fluorescent intensity, object shape, size and texture) are computed from each segmented object. The term "high content" refers to the very large volume(and potentially rich) datasets that can be generated by this approach.

Temporal Paul wavelet analysis for instantaneous phase extraction using shadow moiré technique is proposed. Unlike the Morlet wavelet, the Paul wavelet has less restriction on the adjustment of wavelet parameters and can provide an optimal time and frequency resolution for a particular application by selecting the proper parameters. The Paul wavelet is a complex wavelet and is suitable for processing the temporal intensity data obtained from the shadow moiré technique for the phase retrieval. The proposed method can extract the phase information related to the state of the dynamic object at every instant in temporal domain. The phase information is associated to the displacement, three-dimensional(3D) surface-profile and the instantaneous state of the dynamic object. In addition, the instantaneous frequency of vibrating object can be obtained using the scale of the wavelet ridge by direct integration without temporal and spatial phase unwrapping. Thus the phase unwrapping error can be avoided. An experiment is conducted on the central loaded beam to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique.

OBS

The term “moiré” is ... a French word referring to “an irregular wavy finish usually produced on a fabric by pressing between engraved rollers” (Webster’s 1981). In optics it refers to a beat pattern produced between two gratings of approximately equal spacing. It can be seen in everyday things such as the overlapping of two window screens, the rescreening of a half-tone picture, or with a striped shirt seen on television. The use of moiré for reduced sensitivity testing was introduced by Lord Rayleigh in 1874. Lord Rayleigh looked at the moiré between two identical gratings to determine their quality even though each individual grating could not be resolved under a microscope. ... Since Lord Rayleigh first noticed the phenomena of moiré fringes, moiré techniques have been used for a number of testing applications. Righi (1887) first noticed that the relative displacement of two gratings could be determined by observing the movement of the moiré fringes. The next significant advance in the use of moiré was presented by Weller and Shepherd (1948). They used moiré to measure the deformation of an object under applied stress by looking at the differences in a grating pattern before and after the applied stress. They were the first to use shadow moiré, where a grating is placed in front of a nonflat surface to determine the shape of the object behind it by using the shape of the moiré fringes.

Le moiré d’ombre. Cette technique […] consiste à créer un moiré entre une grille de référence placée juste devant l’objet, et l’ombre de cette même grille projetée sur la surface étudiée. Les déformations de cette surface modifient le pas du réseau «ombre» créant ainsi le moiré. Une mesure du pas de ce moiré permet, à l’aide des équations précédentes, de remont3er aux déformations locales et de dresser la carte des hauteurs.

X-ray powder diffraction analysis(XRPD) was proven to be a very powerful tool for the study of "green stone" Neolithic axes and other artifacts. The amount of material to be sampled can be reduced to a few milligrams, thus making it a quasi-non destructive method.... If the dimension of an object is adequate(up to 60 cm in bulk, depending upon the shape) it can be directly analyzed, by XRPD, without sampling. Even a rough, irregular surface, both on flat and bent objects, is suitable for the analysis. The XRPD analysis is, therefore, totally non-destructive and is obviously very adapt to analyze many different materials, such as pigments, stones, ceramics, metals, patinas, salts efflorescences etc.

As a central part of his fine-grained analysis of the environment, Gibson introduced the notion of "affordances". Affordances are the potentialities for action inherent in object or scene-the activities that can take place when an organism of a certain sort encounters an entity of a certain sort. According to the notion of affordances, individuals throw things that are grabbable(they afford grabbing), devour things that are edible(they afford eating), and cuddle things that are lovable(they afford loving). This concept permitted an analysis of an organism's effectiveness within its environment, without the apparent need to invoke beliefs, attitudes, or mental effort.

DEF

CONT

Les affordances sont des propriétés réelles des objets qui peuvent avoir une valeur utile pour leur observateur. Elles portent sur ce que l'on perçoit en fonction de ce sur quoi on peut agir. Ainsi, nous percevons qu'un petit objet est préhensible, alors qu'un grand ne l'est pas. Les affordances sont déterminées conjointement par les caractères physiques d'un objet et par les capacités sensorielles, motrices et mentales d'un être vivant. Pour un même objet, elles diffèrent d'une espèce à l'autre, d'un individu ou d'une situation à l'autre. Ainsi, un caillou peut être perçu comme un presse-papiers, l'élément d'un jardin de rocaille ou un marteau.
