This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...

D uring the past decade the method of functional cranial analysis has been developed in our laboratory. The basic postulates and the experimental and clinical supporting data have been published extensively elsewhere.4-“Y The orthodontic specialty recently became aware of this analytical technique, with particular interest being expressed in the derivat,i\-e concept of the Jurrctionul matrix. I...

Forecasting is an indispensable element of operational research (OR) and important aid to planning. The accurate estimation the forecast uncertainty facilitates several operations management activities, predominantly in supporting decisions inventory supply chain effectively setting safety stocks. In this paper, we introduce a feature-based framework, which links relationship between time serie...

the voltammetric performance of edge-plane pyrolytic graphite (epg) electrode via adsorptive stripping voltammetry was investigated for study of the electrochemical behavior of omeprazole (omz) in aqueous solution. the results revealed that the oxidation of omz is an irreversible ph-dependent process that proceeds with the transfer of one electron and one proton in an adsorption-controlled mech...

The Turin Shroud (TS) is a linen cloth commonly associated with Jesus Christ, his crucifixion and burial. Several medical specialists have debated the injuries of the TS Man, nevertheless there are no detailed and quantitative data about the anatomy of the TS face. The purpose of this study was to analyse the cephalometric measurements of the face image of the TS. The TS face image was acquired...
