A linear programming method extracts individual hard-sphere sizes from blurred microscopy videos, reaching sub-0.1% error without prior knowledge of size distribution. Works from short noisy trajectories.

Today, five years ago at 11:15 sharp, I successfully defended my PhD thesis. I’m not usually one to celebrate an anniversary. But because this one has taken me by surprise—by how much time has flown—I thought it’d be nice to mark the occassion. I've made a mostly visual summary of my thesis to celebrate:

Optimizing particle shape for confined microchannels can boost transport efficiency.
Prolate or oblate spheroids outperform spheres under certain conditions, guiding designs in microfluidics and targeted delivery.

“Although no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate or 90-day mortality rate was observed between the use of albumin and #crystalloids, #colloids appeared to be more effective than crystalloids in stabilizing hemodynamic end points”
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes you have to find what to do at the moment. It is safe and may help.
