Spectral imaging has many applications, from methane detection using satellites to disease detection on crops. However, spectral cameras remain a costly solution ranging from 10 thousand to 100 thousand euros for the hardware alone. Here, we present a low-cost multispectral camera (LC-MSC) with 64 LEDs …

Restoration engineering measures, such as managed realignments or building groins, modify the environmental characteristics of coastal intertidal ecosystems. Creating physical modifications that are beneficial to an intertidal system's ecology necessitates an in-depth understanding of the relationships …

The primary cause of death in breast cancer cases is often metastasis, the spread of cancer cells systemically and the formation of secondary tumors in distant organs of the body. The invasion of breast tumor cells into the surrounding tissue is an initial step in the metastatic cascade. In addition …
