Microphone
A microphone, colloquially called a mic (), or mike, is a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, hearing aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, sound recording, two-way radios, megaphones, and radio and television broadcasting. They are also used in computers and other electronic devices, such as mobile phones, for recording sounds, speech recognition, Voice over IP, VoIP, and other purposes, such as Ultrasonic transducer, ultrasonic sensors or knock sensors. Several types of microphone are used today, which employ different methods to convert the air pressure variations of a sound wave to an electrical signal. The most common are the dynamic microphone, which uses a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field; the condenser microphone, which uses the vibrating Diaphragm (acoustics), diaphragm as a capacitor ...

Metastable Intermolecular Composite
Nano-thermite or super-thermite is a metastable intermolecular composite (MIC) characterized by a particle size of its main constituents, a metal fuel and oxidizer, under 100 nanometers. This allows for high and customizable reaction rates. Nano-thermites contain an oxidizer and a reducing agent, which are intimately mixed on the nanometer scale. MICs, including nano-thermitic materials, are a type of reactive materials investigated for military use, as well as for general applications involving propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics. What distinguishes MICs from traditional thermites is that the oxidizer and a reducing agent, normally iron oxide and aluminium, are in the form of extremely fine powders (nanoparticles). This dramatically increases the reactivity relative to micrometre-sized powder thermite. As the mass transport mechanisms that slow down the burning rates of traditional thermites are not so important at these scales, the reaction proceeds much more quickly. Po ...

Metal-induced Crystallization
Combined with certain metallic species, amorphous films can crystallize in a process known as metal-induced crystallization (MIC). The effect was discovered in 1969, when amorphous germanium (a-Ge) films crystallized at surprisingly low temperatures when in contact with Al, Ag, Cu, or Sn. The effect was also verified in amorphous silicon (a-Si) films, as well as in amorphous carbon and various metal-oxide films. Likewise, the MIC evolved from simple temperature-driven annealing approaches to others involving laser or microwave radiation, for example. A very common variant of the MIC procedure is the metal-induced lateral crystallization (MILC). In this case, the metal is deposited (onto the top or at the bottom) of some selected areas of the desired amorphous film. Upon annealing, crystallization starts from the portion of the amorphous film that is in contact with the metal species, and the MIC proceeds laterally. So far, lots of studies have been carried out to investigate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Medical Image Computing
Medical image computing (MIC) is an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of computer science Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. Computer science spans Theoretical computer science, theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to Applied science, ..., information engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics and medicine. This field develops computational and mathematical methods for solving problems pertaining to medical images and their use for biomedical research and clinical care. The main goal of MIC is to extract clinically relevant information or knowledge from medical images. While closely related to the field of medical imaging, MIC focuses on the computational analysis of the images, not their acquisition. The methods can be grouped into several broad categories: image segmentation, image registration, image-based physiological modeling, and others. Data f ...

Maximal Information Coefficient
In statistics, the maximal information coefficient (MIC) is a measure of the strength of the linear or non-linear association between two variables ''X'' and ''Y''. The MIC belongs to the maximal information-based nonparametric exploration (MINE) class of statistics. In a simulation study, MIC outperformed some selected low power tests, however concerns have been raised regarding reduced statistical power in detecting some associations in settings with low sample size when compared to powerful methods such as distance correlation and Heller–Heller–Gorfine (HHG). Comparisons with these methods, in which MIC was outperformed, were made in Simon and Tibshirani and in Gorfine, Heller, and Heller. It is claimed that MIC approximately satisfies a property called ''equitability'' which is illustrated by selected simulation studies. It was later proved that no non-trivial coefficient can exactly satisfy the ''equitability'' property as defined by Reshef et al., although this resu ...

Major Immunogene Complex
The Major immunogene complex (MIC) is a gene sequence containing loci coding for antigens on lymphocyte surface (Ia) histocompatibility (H) antigens, products of immune responses, and components system proteins. The genes that code for immunoglobulins are assorted independently of the MIC, but the plasma cells which produce immunoglobulins are under the control of products of the MIC. See also *Major histocompatibility complex *Immune system The immune system is a network of biological systems that protects an organism from diseases. It detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, from viruses to bacteria, as well as Tumor immunology, cancer cells, Parasitic worm, parasitic ... References {{reflist Immunology ...

Multan Institute Of Cardiology
Multan Institute of Cardiology (MIC), is a hospital located in Multan city in Pakistan. It was established by Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, the former chief minister of Punjab (Pakistan), Punjab province, in 2005. History It was a project for the establishment of a specialised, tertiary care centre for patients with cardiovascular diseases. In early 2003, Pervaiz Elahi, the Chief Minister of Punjab, prioritised this initiative, evident by his appointment of Col. (Ret) Prof M A Cheema as the Project Director of MIC. He has been a pioneer in cardiac surgery within Pakistan and had previously established the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, in Lahore. The centre initiated its outpatient services in 2005, while inpatient services commenced in 2005. The first open heart surgery was performed on 29 October 2007 and by March 2008 over 50 open heart operations were conducted without any surgical mortality. After the completion of the project Prof M A Cheema, was succeeded by Prof Syed Ali R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
