Abstract In previous work [1], we analyzed the recrystallization kinetics in cold-rolled AA5657 and AA5182 based on measurements of volume fraction recrystallized material, free (unimpinged) surface area density average size recrystallizing grains, plus contiguity between for a series partially samples. that work, calculated growth nucleation rates were used as basis from analysis. These two pr...

unitermos abstract The diagnosis of some forms of hyperplastic endometrium continues to present difficulties for the practicing pathologist. One of the major problems is the lack of a standard terminology for endometrial classification. Therefore, morphometrical techniques could help the accurate diagnosis. Thirteen samples of endometrium with simple hyperplasia and thirteen samples of prolifer...

BACKGROUND Precise prognostic and predictive variables allowing improved post-operative treatment stratification are missing in patients treated for stage II colon cancer (CC). Investigation of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) may be rewarding, but the lack of a standardized analytic technique is a major concern. Manual stereological counting is considered the gold standard, but digital pa...

Results obtained by the indirect zonal isotropic uniform random (IUR) estimation were compared with those obtained by the direct point and interception counting methods on vertical (VS) or IUR sections in a stereological study of bovine articular cartilage collagen fibrils at the ultrastructural level. Besides comparisons between the direct and indirect estimations (direct IUR vs indirect IUR e...

When quantifying the total volume, number, length, or surface of morphological features in complex structures such as the brain, it is neither desirable nor feasible to make absolute determinations of these parameters. It would take a lifetime to count all of the neurons or measure the total length of dendrites in many parts of the brain. Estimates based on a relatively small number of samples ...
