Measurement of small currents is often impeded by a suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio, largely due to background noise. This background noise significantly constrains the range of catalysts accessible for interrogation via micro- and nanoscale electrochemistry. In response, this work reveals how background noise scales in the presence of induced Faradaic reactions. We measured noise under a series of electrochemical conditions and discovered that the induced noise from a Faradaic reaction scales directly with current. Complementary electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements demonstrated that diffusional resistance dictates the noise of Faradaic reactions, independent of the electrochemical mechanism. The noise source is thermal in origin and propagates in a predictable trend, which is inversely proportional to the equivalent diffusional resistance of the analyte. The universality of the observed phenomenon allows for better deconvolution of measured charge from background noise, thus assisting in achieving higher resolution and measurement precision, which is a key in micro- and nanoscale electrochemical measurements.
In this paper we consider the estimation of unknown parameters in Bayesian inverse problems. In most cases of practical interest, there are several barriers to performing such estimation, This includes a numerical app...

InGaN red micro-LEDs were fabricated with indium tin oxide (ITO) and metal n-electrode designs. Micro-LEDs with ITO electrodes achieved a peak on-wafer external quantum efficiency of 2.1% (at 1.25 A cm−2) and wall-plug efficiency of 1.7% (at 0.64 A cm−2), representing 1.6 times and 1.5 times improvements compared to metal-based electrodes. Improved performance was attributed to the transparency of ITO, enabling light extraction, while metal electrodes block emission. Both configurations achieved a low leakage current density (≤ 10–7 A cm−2) and a high peak emission wavelength around 650 nm. These results represent a strong potential for low-power consumption required/area-limited AR/VR applications.

The issue of the fault tolerance of interconnection networks has received considerable attention since the last decade. The theoretical framework developed by J. P. Shen and J. P. Hays ( IEEE Trans. Comput. C-33 , 3 (Mar. 1984), 241–248) and extended by S. Pakzad and S. Lakshmivarahan ( Internat. J. Comput. Syst. Sci. Engrg. 3 , 2 (April 1988), 91–99) can be used as a guideline to analyze the fault tolerance behavior of the interconnection networks in a multicomputer environment. This paper analyzes the fault tolerance characteristics of a range of rearrangeable β-networks based on the concepts and the framework developed by S. Pakzad and S. Lakshmivarahan (cited earlier). These rearrangeable β-networks include the Benes network, the Waksman network, the Joel network, and the serial network. In addition, this paper presents a comparative analysis of the aforementioned networks according to their hardware cost, performance, and degree of fault tolerance.

The relationship between optical properties and image contrast in confocal imaging is investigated. A Monte Carlo simulation has been developed to analyze the effects of changes in scattering, index of refraction, and absorption in a three-layer medium. Contrast was calculated from the computed signal-to-background ratios for changes in tissue optical properties. Results show that the largest source of contrast is changes in refractive index.

The feasibility of real-time digital filtering using dedicated state-of-the-art microcomputers of 8-bit wordlength is demonstrated. Implementations of Lynn's integer filter structures by means of wrap-around queue data structures are shown to operate at sampling rates of over 8 kHz. An initial condition constraint unique to this filter class which must be satisfied to prevent inadvertent overflows or oscillations in microcomputers is discussed. The fast-filtering techniques are applied to the problem of calculating the average absolute value of a fast signal in real time.
