introduction:  the  success  of  hyperthermia  depends  on  the  accuracy  of  the  temperature  monitoring in the tumor and the surrounding normal tissue. in this study, the temperature changes  were determined by computing the speckle displacement in the ultrasound digital images. speckle  tracking algorithm was used to compute the displacement.  materials and methods: the experiment was perf...

The KT1000 and KT2000 knee joint arthrometers (MEDmetric Corp, San Diego, California) have been shown to overestimate the measurement of knee joint sagittal laxity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of the KT arthrometers as measures of anterior and posterior linear displacement. The anterior and posterior linear displacements of 3 KT arthrometers (2 KT1000 arthrometers ...

Underground displacement monitoring is a key means to monitor and evaluate geological disasters and geotechnical projects. There exist few practical instruments able to monitor subsurface horizontal and vertical displacements simultaneously due to monitoring invisibility and complexity. A novel underground displacement 3D measuring sensor had been proposed in our previous studies, and great eff...

objective: the cows that don’t have access to sufficient energy in their ration can get sickness. milk production has a high priority in metabolism of dairy cows so lactating cows are more prone to get sick this can ruin all the benefits of higher milk yield because of the higher prevalence of the disorders. methods: data for this research had gathered from a herd with 1600 holstein cattle in e...
