AN IMPROVED EAR SPECULUM.

An Improved Locally Linear Embedding Algorithm for Ear Recognition

In order to improve the recognition rate of ear, a novel ear recognition algorithm is proposed based on improved locally linear embedding algorithm. Firstly, the ear features are extracted by Gabor transform, and then the improved LLE is used to reduce dimensionality of features and select the optimal features of ear recognition, finally support vector machine is used to establish the classifie...

Ear Spray Targeting for Improved Ear Blight and Mycotoxin Control

Since cultural measures, fungicides, and resistant cereal genotypes have provided only partial control of Fusarium head blight to date, biological control is being explored as an additional tool in the integrated management of this disease. Microbial antagonists or their metabolites are potentially useful in the disruption of spike infection, fungal spread within the spike, seedling blight deve...

A New Eye Speculum

sold by surgical instrument makers, which have constantly come prominently to my notice daring the performnace of operations on the eye, and which, after considerable experience of the same, have forced me to try and effect a remedy for them. It is with that object in view, that I have devised an instrument, which I venture to bring before the notice of the profession, as having, in my humble o...

Sims Speculum Examination

Sims Speculum Examination is an important skill for medical students and doctors. This article presents a comprehensive, concise and evidence-based approach to the use of the Sims Speculum which is consistent with The Principles of Clinical Examination [1]. We describe the signs of pelvic organ prolapse and based on a review of the literature, the precision and accuracy of these signs is discus...
