the aim of this study was to compare and validate the selected methods for estimating fat percentage. for this purpose, 30 inactive female students of shahid rajaei university (age=20.93±1.91; height=164.73±4.57cm; weight=56.65±8.02 kg) were selected voluntarily. they were randomly placed in one of the four different conditions (digital, harpenden, plastic calipers and electrical bioimpedance) ...

Purpose: To determine if the mean horizontal white-towhite (WTW) corneal diameter, measured intraoperatively with calipers, of a population of cataract surgery patients differs from the currently accepted normal WTW range of greater than 11.0 and less than 13.0 mm. In addition, we compared manual caliper measurements with those with IOLMaster. Setting: Cincinnati Eye Institute, Cincinnati OH. D...

INTRODUCTION Our objective was to determine whether the elevation of a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap alone, without cortical cuts, decreases the amount of bone around teeth and accelerates mesial tooth movements. METHODS The mandibular second premolars of 7 beagle dogs were extracted, and on a randomly selected side, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal buccal flap extending from the distal a...

Rodent models provide an important means of assessing antitumor activity vs toxicity for new cancer therapies. Tumors are often grown subcutaneously on the flank or back of animals, allowing accurate serial determination of tumor volume with calipers by measuring the tumors in three dimensions. The advantages of assessing tumor volume in subcutaneous tumors must be balanced against the potentia...

The weight optimization of a structure can be conducted by using fewer and downsized components, applying lighter materials in production, removing unwanted material. Topology (TO) is one the most implemented material removal processes. In addition, when it oriented towards additive manufacturing (AM), increases design flexibility. traditional approach compliance optimization, where layout opti...
