This paper presents the nonlinear characterization of a single-axis acoustic levitator and the analysis of the influence of nonlinear effects on the acoustic levitation of small spheres. First, the nonlinear characterization ...

This paper describes two simple thermal methods for measuring the energy fluence in J/cm 2 from a diagnostic x-ray exposure. Both detectors absorb essentially 100% of the radiation and give a signal that is directly ...

We study the process of decoherence in acoustic black holes. We focus on the ion trap model proposed by Horstmann et al., but the formalism is general to any experimental implementation. For that particular setup, we compute ...

Objectives: To evaluate the splenic stiffness of healthy adult cats using acoustic radiation force impulse elastography to determine the quality (greyscale images and tissue deformity) and quantity (shear velocity) standards. ...

The therapeutic ultrasound (US) is one of the resources mostly used by physiotherapists; however the use of uncalibrated equipments results in inefficient or even harmful therapies to the patient. In this direction, the ...
