Towns and villages that were mere smears of speed along busy superhighways were celebratory events savored by my Saudi walking partners and me.
The images will be smeared because of Cassini's speed, but the team hopes to remove the blurs and have some dramatic shots by Thursday night or Friday.
The broadening of the strong sea clutter Bragg lines can smear over the nearby low-speed target spectrum.
Instead, researchers and policy makers should focus on enhancing the speed and sensitivity of smear microscopy through streamlined sputum collection strategies [38], [39], light-emitting diode fluorescence imaging [40], [41], and improved quality assurance.
We studied gravity bleach-sedimentation effects on safety, sensitivity, speed and reliability of smear-microscopy.
We used these methodological refinements to characterise the effect of bleach-sedimentation on the safety, sensitivity, speed and reliability of smear-microscopy.
Advantages of smear microscopy include its simplicity, low cost, speed, and high specificity in high TB burden areas.
This technique was further evaluated by comparing numbers of visible acid-fast bacilli, slide-reading speed and reliability for triplicate smears before versus after bleach-sedimentation of sputum specimens (n = 25).
Poor focus, depth of field, inadequate shutter speed, or grossly inadequate magnification will smear out a photo by many, many pixels.
This novel methodology generated sensitivity and microscopy-reading speed data from each specimen by comparing triplicate conventional smears versus triplicate smears prepared after bleach-sedimentation.
