“The Dendritic Bonding Technique”: A Newly-devised Technique for the Fixation of Mesh Skin Graft

We describe a newly designed technique for the quick, easy, and cost-effective fixation of mesh skin grafts in a range of skin conditions and patients. We fixed the skin graft using octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond; Ethicon), which was termed "Dendritic bonding." This technique exhibits several advantages over surgical stapling and suturing with absorbable sutures.

Alexandrite-like effect in purple flowers analyzed with newly devised round RGB diagram

The gemstone alexandrite is known for its feature to change color depending on the spectral quality of the incident light. Thus, the stone looks green when illuminated by white LED light but looks red when illuminated by incandescent light. This effect (alexandrite effect) is caused by a special relationship between the spectral quality of the incident light and the absorbance spectrum of the s...

Efficacy of a new microvibration sensation measurement device at detecting diabetic peripheral neuropathy using a newly devised finger method

To investigate the efficacy of the finger method using a new microvibration sensation measurement device in the evaluation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). A cross-sectional study of 52 type 2 diabetic outpatients was performed. Patients were evaluated for DPN using American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria, Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, and the finger method. Patients we...

System Identification Based on Frequency Response Noisy Data

In this paper, a new algorithm for system identification based on frequency response is presented. In this method, given a set of magnitudes and phases of the system transfer function in a set of discrete frequencies, a system of linear equations is derived which has a unique and exact solution for the coefficients of the transfer function provided that the data is noise-free and the degrees of...
