Expert opinions regarding the microscopic comparison of human hairs have been accepted routinely in courts for decades. However, with the advent of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing, an assessment can be made of the association by microscopic hair comparisons in casework between a questioned hair and reference hairs from an individual. While each method can be used separately, the two analyt...

Variations in fruits morphology of Tilia spp. were studied along longitudinal and altitudinal range. Ten populations of Tilia spp.from Golestan, Mazandaran and Gilan Provinces (N. Iran) were selected. After biometrical measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), Cluster Analysis divided the population into seven groups. Discriminat Analysis showed that among all traits studied, size o...

Characteristics of microscopic bone cross section images carry essential clues for defining the important features in the bone cross section such as harvesian canals, osteons, osteon fragments, lamellar bone, bony trabeculae, myxoid matrix and artifact for different age groups and also for age related developments & diseases. The traditional approaches of bone microscopic image analysis rely pr...

A flow cytometric (FACS) detection method for Plasmodium falciparum cultures (P. falciparum) was developed using SYBR Green I and CD235A and compared against the Giemsa stained microscopic examination. The cultured P. falciparum were spiked into red blood cells (RBCs) to yield parasitemia, ranging from 0.01% to 22.0%. FACS analysis demonstrated a clear separation between P. falciparum infected ...

Background: Urinary tract infection is a common disease in childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of urinary analysis, assess the role of urine culture in determining its necessity and evaluate etiologic agents and antimicrobial resistance patterns in children with urinary tract infection.Methods: Our study was made by evaluating the patients who applied to...

Characteristics of microscopic osteosarcoma bone cross section images carry essential clues for defining the important features in the bone cross section such as stroma, bone, malignant cell, myxoid matrix, artifact for different age groups and also for age related developments & diseases. The traditional approaches of bone microscopic image analysis rely primarily on manual processes with very...
