  2. Forward scatter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_scatter

    Forward scattering is the deflection of waves by small angles so that they continue to move in close to the same direction as before the scattering. It can occur with all types of waves, for instance light , ultraviolet radiation, X-rays as well as matter waves such as electrons , neutrons and even water waves .

  3. Underwater computer vision - Wikipedia

    Light scattering can further be divided into forward scattering, which results in an increased blurriness and backward scattering that limits the contrast and is responsible for the characteristic veil of underwater images. Both scattering and attenuation are heavily influenced by the amount of organic matter dissolved or suspended in the water.

  4. Backscatter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter

    Sometimes, the scattering is more or less isotropic, i.e. the incoming particles are scattered randomly in various directions, with no particular preference for backward scattering. In these cases, the term "backscattering" just designates the detector location chosen for some practical reasons:

  5. Bistatic sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bistatic_sonar

    Bistatic sonar can work in two ways: by utilizing either the target backscattering or forward scattering. Backscattering bistatic sonar is the sonar in which the bistatic angle φ is less than 90°. Forward scattering is the physical phenomena based on Babinet's principle. Forward scattering bistatic sonar is the sonar in which the bistatic ...

  6. Forward scattering alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_scattering_alignment

    The Forward Scattering Alignment (FSA) is a coordinate system used in coherent electromagnetic scattering. The coordinate system is defined from the viewpoint of the ...

  7. Optical tweezers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_tweezers

    The detection of optical scattering and the gradient forces on micron sized particles was first reported in 1970 by Arthur Ashkin, a scientist working at Bell Labs. [1] Years later, Ashkin and colleagues reported the first observation of what is now commonly referred to as an optical tweezer: a tightly focused beam of light capable of holding ...

  8. Coherent backscattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_backscattering

    This is one of the most robust interference phenomena that survives multiple scattering, and it is regarded as an aspect of a quantum mechanical phenomenon known as weak localization (Akkermans et al. 1986). In weak localization, interference of the direct and reverse paths leads to a net reduction of light transport in the forward direction.

    The ICD-10 Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a set of diagnosis codes used in the United States of America. [1] It was developed by a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services, [ 2 ] as an adaption of the ICD-10 with authorization from the World Health Organization .
