Challenges in “probing spectroscopic probes” for noninvasive simultaneous disease diagnosis by Lopamudra Roy, Shweta Paul, Amrita Banerjee, Ria Ghosh, Susmita Mondal, Monojit Das, Monojit Das, Nivedita Pan, Ishitri Das, Soumendra Singh, Debasish Bhattacharya, Asim Kumar Mallick, Samir Kumar Pal

“…In this study, we report noninvasive spectroscopic measurements of total haemoglobin (Hb), bilirubin, and the ratio of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin as disease markers for anaemia, jaundice, and oxygen deficiency, respectively, using a meticulously designed optical fibre probe. The challenges in designing the fibre probe for simultaneous noninvasive detection, including optical power, spectral density of the probing light, and resolution of the spectrometer, were found to be critical to accurate measurements. …”

Investigation on the strength of expanded clay aggregate concrete specimens after thermal exposure by Danguolė Plungytė, Ričardas Plungė

“…The research revealed that the samples with fine-grained filler retained the highest strength after exposure to high temperatures, while the strength results of all other samples with coarse filler and coarse filler with fibre were low. The comparison of the results of the compressive strength of expanded clay concrete samples with coarse fillers suggests that the samples with fibre remained stronger after exposure to high temperature (600 °C) than the samples without additives. …”
