Water absorption signatures were measured from water samples placed in a 50 cm pathlength cylindrical cuvette. Quantitative analysis of chlorophyll-a and dissolved organic matter (DOM- humic acid, fulvic acid, or tannic acid) was conducted using second derivative spectra followed by computation of double inflection ratio (DIR) spectra for all possible combinations of bands (from 362-1 1 15 nm with 252 channels). A specially designed instrument system is described which allows measurements of absorption of particulate and dissolved organic matter (chlorophyll-a and DOM) in a water sample. The ability of the system to allow measurement of absorption signatures and relating the …
In Vitro Activity Of Levofloxacin, Singly And In Combination With Rifamycin Analogs, Against Mycobacterium Leprae, Arvind Madhav Dhople, Maria Antonia Ibáñez

The in vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium leprae to levofloxacin was studied by using two biochemical parameters to measure the metabolic activity of the organism. Levofloxacin consistently exhibited twofold greater bactericidal activity than ofloxacin, with the MIC being 0.75 μg/ml. When combined with one of the three rifamycin analogs, synergism was obtained with KRM-1648 and rifabutin but not with rifampin.

Pixel-Registered Image Fusion, Rufus H. Cofer, Samuel Peter Kozaitis

One of the highest potential uses of image fusion is that of recognition of critical targets. The continuing image fusion question then is how to make optimal use of the often disparate forms of encountered image detail during fusion. Toward this end, many techniques have been advanced for fusion to a single viewable image. Fewer techniques have been suggested toward fusion with the goal of directly improving target detection or recognition. Based upon emerging trends in pixel accurate registration of images, we show the theoretical foundations required to optimally fuse target imagery for recognition. Results obtained can be applied to …

Multiresolution Binary Optical Correlator Using The Wavelet Transform, Samuel Peter Kozaitis

We used morphological filters to approximate wavelet scaling functions for multiresolution processing of an image. Because some spatial light modulators (SLMs) can only display binary data, wavelet processing of binary images is inhibited. Therefore, we considered an alternative way - morphological processing - to generate a wavelet representation that consists entirely of binary elements. The effects of these filters are dependent on the input signal and cannot be generalized. Therefore, we used a statistical approach to approximate the scaling functions or various wavelets using morphological filters. ©2005 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.

We showed that the output of an autocorrelation with a gas spectrum could be triple-correlated to reduce the effects of Gaussian noise. Such processing is directly applicable to a correlation spectrometer but could be applied to other designs. In spite of the added processing, triple-correlating the output of a spectrometer allowed us to generally increase the SNR by over a factor of ten. Even with as few as two measurements good results were obtained.
