Gender is identified as a significant source of variation in optical reflectance measurements on mouse skin, with variation in the thickness of the dermal layer being the key explanatory variable. For three different mouse strains, the thickness values of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis layers, as measured by histology, are correlated to optical reflectance measurements collected with ela...

The purpose of this investigation was to measure the thickness of the masseter, levator labii superioris, and zygomaticus major muscles; to examine the reproducibility of ultrasonographically measured muscle thickness; to evaluate the association between facial and masticatory muscle thickness and vertical facial pattern; and to test whether the variation in muscle thickness is related to the v...

Modeling based feasibility study has been performed on vascularized human skin model with the motivation to device a non-invasive and non-contact novel methodology to characterize the increasing subcutaneous fat thickness. The study considers an integrated model for human skin exposed to natural convection, local radiation, and evaporation due to sweating during thermal recovery phase after rem...

Redox-induced orientation changes (or monolayer thickness changes) of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 11-ferrocenylundecanethiol (FcC11SH) were quantified by the electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (EC-SPR). EC-SPR enables one to determine the collective effect of the monolayer thickness and refractive index changes resulted from the oxidation of ferrocene (Fc) to ferrocenium. To meas...

PURPOSE To study the repeatability of common carotid mean wall thickness (MWT) measured with high resolution MRI, in comparison with intima media thickness (IMT) assessed by ultrasound and to investigate the relative capabilities of these two modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten healthy volunteers and 10 subjects with carotid artery atherosclerosis were imaged with both high resolution MRI a...

One of the methods for making prototypes is incremental forming process. In this method, the forming tool, performs a pre-programmed movement by the CNC machine and runs the desired path. This modernization process is used in the automotive, aerospace, military, medical and other industries. One of the most influential parameters in this process is forming tool. This parameter is effective in f...

In this paper, the electrical performance of double gate organic field effecttransistor (DG-OFET) are thoroughly investigated and feasibility of the deviceas an efficient biosensor is comprehensively assessed. The introduced deviceprovides better gate control over the channel, yielding better charge injectionproperties from source to channel and providing higher on-state...

Morphological abnormalities of the cerebral cortex have been reported in a number of MRI-studies in schizophrenia. Uncertainty remains regarding cause, mechanism and progression of the alterations. It has been suggested that antipsychotic medication reduces total gray matter volumes, but results are inconsistent. In the present study differences in regional cortical thickness between 96 patient...

PURPOSE To evaluate choroidal thickness in young adults using enhanced-depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and to describe volume differences in all the areas defined in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. METHODS In 95 healthy young (23.8 ± 3.2 years) adult volunteers, 95 eyes were prospectively enrolled. Manual choroida...

We aimed to determine normal macular thickness using Cirrus high definition optical coherence tomography. In this cross-sectional survey, 112 subjects were selected using random sampling from the Rasht telephone directory. All subjects underwent complete eye examinations. Both eyes of each patient were evaluated. The creation of a macular thickness map using a macular cube 512 × 128 combo was o...
