Microplate readers have been useful assistants of researchers for several decades. This work is focused on the applications of a simple absorbance microplate reader in yeast physiology research, and its advantages and limitations in comparison with alternative methods are discussed. The two main procedures involved are measuring growth curves and monitoring the pH changes of medium using two di...

A system for automatic Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) data collection and processing is described. Hardware for the system consists of a Dynatech microplate reader and Apple II series microcomputer. Software developed by the authors allows automatic configuration of the reader and direct data input from the microplate reader to the microcomputer. After optical density data is input t...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the visibility of microcalcifications of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) using breast specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one specimens' DBT and FFDM were retrospectively reviewed by four readers. RESULTS The image quality of microcalcifications of DBT was rated as superior or equivalent in 71.0...

What is classification? its purpose and impact in different institutional contexts? can those impacts add up to our material realities? Sorting Sexualities encourages us ask these questions when we think about describe sexuality. This slim but dense volume delves deeply into the ways that sexuality seen understood legal settings. In doing so, it leads reader confront contradiction between commo...

Localization and motion control (navigation) are two major tasks for a successful mobile robot navigation. The motion controller determines the appropriate action for the robot’s actuator based on its current state in an operating environment. A robot recognizes its environment through some sensors and executes physical actions through actuation mechanisms. However, sensory information is noisy...
