An assay technique, homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, is described for the quantitative determination of morphine derivatives in biological fluids. An enzyme is labeled with morphine. When the enzymelabeled morphine is bound by antimorphine antibodies, the enzyme is rendered inactive. Free morphine competes with enzyme-morphine for antibody binding sites preventing inhibition of enzyme activity. ...

This paper reports a novel technique for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic channels in a single sheet of paper, which greatly simplifies the fabrication process of 3D microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (3D-μPADs). This technique, derived from the popular wax printing technique for paper channel patterning, is capable of controlling the penetration depth of wax upon heatin...

Zoning is one of the popular methods used for the optical character recognition of documents. In this paper the zoning approach is used for recognition of printed Kannada numerals. The input scanned document image containing printed Kannada numerals is binarized. The noise present in the document in the form of tiny dots is eliminated. The row segmentation followed by the column segmentation is...

This paper deals with an Optical Character Recognition system for printed Urdu, a popular Pakistani/Indian script and is the third largest understandable language in the world, especially in the subcontinent but fewer efforts are made to make it understandable to computers. Lot of work has been done in the field of literature and Islamic studies in Urdu, which has to be computerized. In the pro...

This ethnography analyzes three Israeli Reform Jewish rituals as manifestations of interreligious hospitality. The Daniel congregation invites Muslim residents Jaffa to participate in incorporating Arabic and clergy prayers. egalitarian pluralistic symbols narratives promote neighborly relationships. Nevertheless, some participants’ responses reaffirm popular suspicions prejudices, which the ce...

the purpose of this study is to identify challenges of digital resources in academic libraries of kerman province. research methodology is descriptive- survey, a questionnaire is used for gathering data. research sample includes 41 librarians of kerman libraries and their managers. results show that economic challenges, in order, are:  infrastructures and equipment purchasing, printed and digit...

Abstract Four-dimensional (4D) printing is an emerging additive manufacturing (AM) technology that adds a time-dependent reconfiguration dimension to three-dimensional (3D) printed products. It enables the creation of on-demand, dynamically controllable shapes, or properties in response external stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, and light. Thermally responsive structures are among mo...

background: this study describes the possibility of implementing three-dimensional printing technology to create a precise construction of a planned bolus, based on computed tomography information stored in the digital imaging and communications in medicine (dicom) format file. materials and methods:  to create the bolus with a 3d printer, we converted data in the dicom format to the stereolith...
