Determining the Original Voxel Densities

Introduction In A-level Physics Remote Sensing, one particular concept that students were required to apply was the idea of using voxel to build up the x-ray image of a body. Some students were wondering the very arbitrary idea of performing certain procedures to arrive at the answer. In this article, I am going to explain the reason why the series of steps work as described. Procedure Assuming four voxels with unknown densities,w, x, y and z, are investigated with an x-ray beam. When an x-ray beam is directed at the region, the detected intensity could be received at the other…

Copy Files to and From Virtualbox ubuntu from Mac host

Ubuntu and other variants of linux offers many free open source apps. Often, one may want to use some of these apps for testing purposes but it is not possible to always find available PCs to run linux. Using Virtualbox to run linux in virtual environment is a cost effective solution to overcome this problem. However, there may be situations where one may want to send or retrieve files to or from linux in Virtualbox. In this article, I will explain how to set up the Virtualbox and use scp to achieve this objective. Setting Virtualbox Network The first step…
