We propose a new optical probe for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal detection with high optical performance and thermal stability. The optical probe is composed of an optical source part for efficient excitation of NIR fluorescence signal, a heat dissipation part for stable operation of the NIR fluorescence probe, and an optical detection part for efficient detection of NIR fluorescence signal. From a simulation by use of an optical simulation tool, Light ToolsTM, we could confirm that the optical probe has optical propagation efficiency of 79.6% in case of using a circular detector with 20 cm in diameter located at 20 cm in distance from the optical source. From a measurement of temperature variation of the optical probe, we could also confirm that the optical probe has thermal stability with a standard deviation of 2.19°C under room temperature condition. Finally, from an evaluation of fluorescence image quality, we could confirm that an optical noise which can bring on by overlapped band between optical spectrum of the optical source for fluorescence excitation and optical spectrum of the emitted fluorescence signal decreased effectively in the optical probe.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
