Welcome back to Links! Apologies for no Links last week. Like many, I was not doing too well Wednesday morning and promptly texted Sarah, “Oh shit. I forgot to schedule a Links post.” But I am back! Perhaps not too much better than I was a week ago, but baby steps. The unpacking has kept me distracted and I am eager for the Thanksgiving break to full cozy up in front of our fireplace with … Continue reading Links: Ghostwriters, Free eBooks, & More →

Tomorrow is our 5th annual Halloween soiree. The decorations are up, the invitations have been sent out, and the pumpkins have all been replaced,,, grrrrr! All that's left to do, is go and get the food and booze later this afternoon. I Think?
Every year, in an organizational inspired moment, I swear that I'm going write down all the party details so I'll be one step ahead next year, but I never do. Twelve months doesn't seem that long, but it's enough time for me to forget all of the little things. This year I'm rather proud of myself. I've been making notes as I've gone along. Now the question is, next year, will I be able to remember where I put the notes ???
I really don't see how the Martha Stewart crowd does it. We only entertain on this scale, once or twice a year and I hardly have the energy for that. Then again I'm sure that Martha's parties don't achieve, or should I say degenerate, to the level of fun that ours do, and that makes it all worth it... hee hee.

X-ray ghost imaging with a crystal beam splitter has advantages in highly efficient imaging due to the simultaneous acquisition of signals from both the object beam and reference beam. However, beam splitting with a large field of view, uniform distribution and high correlation has been a great challenge up to now. Therefore, a dedicated beam splitter has been developed by optimizing the optical layout of a synchrotron radiation beamline and the fabrication process of a Laue crystal. A large field of view, consistent size, uniform intensity distribution and high correlation were obtained simultaneously for the two split beams. Modulated by a piece of copper foam upstream of the splitter, a correlation of 92% between the speckle fields of the object and reference beam and a Glauber function of 1.25 were achieved. Taking advantage of synthetic aperture X-ray ghost imaging (SAXGI), a circuit board of size 880 × 330 pixels was successfully imaged with high fidelity. In addition, even though 16 measurements corresponding to a sampling rate of 1% in SAXGI were used for image reconstruction, the skeleton structure of the circuit board can still be determined. In conclusion, the specially developed beam splitter is applicable for the efficient implementation of X-ray ghost imaging.
