The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.
Abstract
Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is a non-intrusive analysis technique that is very popular for mapping flows quantitatively. To get accurate results, in particular in complex flow fields, a number of challenges have to be faced and solved: The quality of the flow measurements is affected by computational details such as image pre-conditioning, sub-pixel peak estimators, data validation procedures, interpolation algorithms and smoothing methods. The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.

Reconstruction and deconstruction of human somitogenesis in vitro

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors introduce three-dimensional culture systems of human pluripotent stem cells called somitoids and segmentoids, which recapitulate the formation of somite-like structures with anteroposterior identity.

Coasting in live-bearing fish: the drag penalty of being pregnant.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the rising drag penalty with an increasing RA, possibly together with pregnancy-related negative effects on muscle- and abdominal bending performance, will reduce the maximum swimming speed.

Mass Transfer Accompanying Coalescence of Surfactant-Laden and Surfactant-Free Drop in a Microfluidic Channel

TL;DR: Analysis of flow patterns inside the coalescing drops has shown that, unlike coalescence of identical drops, only two vortices are formed by asymmetrical coalescence, centered inside the surfactant-free drop.

Glacier Image Velocimetry: an open-source toolbox for easy and rapid calculation of high-resolution glacier velocity fields

TL;DR: GIV as discussed by the authors is an open-source and easy-to-use software toolkit for rapidly calculating high-spatial-resolutionglacier velocity fields, which can reveal flow dynamics, ice-flux changes, and (with additional data and modelling) ice thickness.

Magnetic Field-Driven Convection for Directed Surface Patterning of Colloids.

TL;DR: The method presented here offers an active control over the colloidal assembly achieved by drying sessile droplets and thus enables a new route for fabricating complex patterns and functional surface coating.

The Design and Implementation of FFTW3

TL;DR: It is shown that such an approach can yield an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform that is competitive with hand-optimized libraries, and the software structure that makes the current FFTW3 version flexible and adaptive is described.

Adaptive histogram equalization and its variations

TL;DR: It is concluded that clipped ahe should become a method of choice in medical imaging and probably also in other areas of digital imaging, and that clip ahe can be made adequately fast to be routinely applied in the normal display sequence.

Digital Particle Image Velocimetry

TL;DR: In this article, the directional ambiguity associated with PIV and LSV is resolved by implementing local spatial cross-correlations between two sequential single-exposed particle images, and the recovered velocity data are used to compute the spatial and temporal vorticity distribution and the circulation of the vortex ring.
