Comparison of Skeletal Maturity and Dental Maturity - A Radiographic Assessment
Age determination plays a great role in forensic medicine, pediatric endocrinology and is of particular interest in orthodontic and pedodontic treatment planning. The classical and most widely used method for skeletal-age evaluation is the highly reliable hand-wrist bone analysis performed by radiographs. However, this analysis entails exposure to ionizing radiation in addition to the routine r...
متن کاملMorphometric variation in Loligo forbesi and Loligo vulgaris: regional, seasonal, sex, maturity and worker differences
Morphometric variation in the squid Loligo forbesi was investigated to quantify effects of region, season, sex and maturity. Practical exercises were carried out using this species and the congeneric Loligo vulgaris to evaluate differences in measurements by different workers. The utility of meristic characters was also examined. Consistent significant differences were found between measurement...
متن کاملNeuroanatomical Assessment of Biological Maturity
Structural MRI allows unparalleled in vivo study of the anatomy of the developing human brain. For more than two decades, MRI research has revealed many new aspects of this multifaceted maturation process, significantly augmenting scientific knowledge gathered from postmortem studies. Postnatal brain development is notably protracted and involves considerable changes in cerebral cortical, subco...
متن کاملAssessment of Chromatin Maturity in Human Spermatozoa: Useful Aniline Blue Assay for Routine Diagnosis of Male Infertility
During spermatogenesis, sperm chromatin undergoes structural changes and results in a high condensation. This nuclear compaction would be useful as a predictor of sperm fertilization capacity and pregnancy outcome. We purpose to evaluate firstly the relationship among chromatin maturity assessed by aniline blue staining (AB) and the semen parameters in infertile men. Secondly, we analyzed wheth...
متن کاملA Maturity Model for Energy Efficiency in Mature Data Centres
Data centres are complex eco-systems that interconnect elements of the ICT, electrical, and mechanical fields of engineering and hence the efficient operation of a data centre requires a diverse range of knowledge and skills from each of these fields. The Innovation Value Institute (IVI), a consortium of leading organizations from industry, the not for profit sector, and academia, have develope...
