Polym. Adv g liquid processed polymer deposition method for the film preparation of functional polymers in photo-electronic devices. In this report, the results on the IJP of a fluorenebased electroluminescent polymer, poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene-alt-2,5-dioctyloxybenzene) (PF6OC8), from a piezoelectric droplet generator are presented. The polymer film thickness has been found to show an approxima...

AIM To compare the thickness of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) in the papillomacular area of patients with long standing stage IV macular holes with age matched controls, using a scanning laser polarimeter. METHODS The nerve fibre analyser (NFA) was used to measure the mean thickness of the RNFL around the optic nerve head, the thickness values of temporal and nasal 45 degrees sectors a...

B-mode ultrasound was used to noninvasively determine wall thickness and lumen diameter in the common carotid artery in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (n = 53) and in a control group (n = 53). The controls were matched for sex, age, height, and weight, and all had a serum cholesterol level below 6.5 mmol/l. The study was performed to evaluate whether the patients had a thicker arte...

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to determine the cementum thickness in the first molars of patients with localized aggressive periodontitis (lap) compared to healthy individuals. materials and methods: this case-control study compared eight first molar teeth af-fected by lap with eight third molar teeth of healthy individuals. the teeth were dis- infected by immersion in 10% buffered for...

This paper deals with the thickness and flatness control problem in heavy plate mills. After a short description of the industrial plant the first part of the paper is concerned with a new control strategy for the improvement of the thickness homogeneity over the plate length. This model–based concept takes into account valuable information from previous passes which, together with accurate mat...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE After a single unilateral acute primary angle-closure glaucoma attack, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) may be thinned. The current study measured the RNFL thickness using optical coherence tomography in eyes with normal visual fields after recovery from a single attack of acute primary angle-closure glaucoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients and age-matched c...
