Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for regenerating retinal tissue which includes preparing a luminescent scaffold, implanting the luminescent scaffold in a portion of retina, for example subretinal area, emitting a green light from the luminescent nanoparticles in a luminescence phenomenon, and absorbing the emitted light by retinal cells for regenerating retinal tissue by stimulating the retinal cells. Moreover, preparing a luminescent scaffold may comprise synthesizing a plurality of luminescent particles, dispersing the luminescent particles in a polymeric matrix to form a luminescent composite, and electrospinning the luminescent composite to form the luminescent scaffold.

Abstract: A method for detecting radial deformation in a winding of a transformer may include synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging of the winding using ultra high frequency (UHF) electromagnetic signals in a first instance of the winding to obtain a first image of the winding; SAR imaging of the winding using UHF electromagnetic signals in a second instance of the winding to obtain a second image of the winding; and comparing the first image of the winding and the second image of the winding to detect a radial deformation in the winding. The UHF electromagnetic signals may be transmitted as a plurality of successive sinusoidal signals, where frequencies of the successive sinusoidal signals gradually change from a first frequency to a second frequency.
