The Noninvasive Measurement of Absolute Cerebral Deoxyhemoglobin Concentration and Mean Optical Path Length in the Neonatal Brain by Second Derivative Near Infrared Spectroscopy
We have used second differential near infrared spectroscopy of water to determine the mean optical path length of the neonatal brain. By obtaining the ratio of the second differential features of deoxyhemoglob...

Bridging the Gap between Physicist, Engineer and the User and the Needs for the Future
During the course of this Study Institute, it has been difficult to confine the discussions strictly to Arctic problems. The past effort in radio communications has been biased very much toward temperate and l...

Oblique Reflexion of Radio Waves by Way of a Triangular Path
FIG. 1 is a vertical incidence record from Baker Lake Ionospheric Station, July 19, 1949, 7.30 a.m. C.S.T. It shows, in addition to the regular h′f sweep, a pair of traces due to propagation by means of a triangu...

Triple Splitting of Ionospheric Rays
THE well-known theory of the ionosphere indicates the existence in polar regions of a third split in vertical incidence measurements of medium- and high-frequency radio wave reflexions from the ionosphere, its...
