Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic evaluation of the potential environmental impact and resource utilization of a product from raw material through disposal. Underlying the LCA is the Life Cycle Inventory or LCI, a quantification of energy and material inputs and environmental release or emissions data associated with product creation and use. The primary purpose of this project was to...

OCT is a high resolution imaging modality that uses low coherence interferometry (LCI) techniques (in situ and real time) with axial resolution of 1–15μm to perform high resolution imaging of biological tissues [1]. OCT is suitable for real time imaging modality of transparent tissues up to depth limit of ~2 mm by scanning the reference mirror. [2,3]. Initially, LCI was applied in measurement o...

Starting from the basic pillars of the supportability analysis this paper queries its characteristics in LCI (Life Cycle Integration) environment. The research methodology contents a review of modern logistics engineering literature with the objective to collect and synthesize the knowledge relating to standards of supportability design in e-logistics environment. The results show that LCI fram...

Angle-resolved low coherence interferometry (a/LCI) is an optical biopsy technique that allows for depth-resolved, label-free measurement of the average size and optical density of cell nuclei in epithelial tissue to assess the tissue health. a/LCI has previously been used clinically to identify the presence of dysplasia in Barrett's Esophagus patients undergoing routine surveillance. We presen...

BACKGROUND Cervical degenerative changes are the most common cause of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and lower cervical instability (LCI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the associated factors of MRI signal changes and prognosis in single segmental CSM accompanied by LCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 122 patients met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study...

Understanding uncertainty is essential in using life cycle assessment (LCA) to support decisions. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) widely used characterize the variability LCA results, be them inventory (LCI), category indicator normalized or weighted results. In this study, we present a new method decompose MCS results into underlying contributors logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) decompositio...

BACKGROUND In ventilated newborns the use of multiple breath washout (MBW) techniques for measuring both lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneity (VI) is hampered by the comparatively high dead space fraction. We studied how changes in ventilator settings affected VI indices in this particular population. METHODS Using a computer simulation of a uniformly ventilated volume the interaction be...
