Parallelized Monte Carlo Photon Transport Simulations for Arbitrary Multi-Angle Wide-Field Illumination in Optoacoustic Imaging

Optoacoustic imaging (OAI) or photoacoustic imaging can resolve the distribution of tissue chromophores and optical contrast agents deep inside tissue from the optoacoustic detection with multi-spectral illumination.The development of a fast and accurate modeling method for the photon transport in OAI is necessary to quantitatively evaluate the tis

Growth and bromatological characteristics of Brachiaria decumbens and Brachiaria ruziziensis under shading and nitrogen

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the productive and qualitative characteristics of Brachiaria decumbens and Brachiaria ruziziensis subjected to three levels of artificial shading (0, 36 and 54%) and four nitrogen (N) doses (0; 50; 100 and 150 mg dm-3 soil), using completely randomized design with a factorial scheme 2 x 3 x 4, with three replic
