there have been few longitudinal studies on sick building syndrome (sbs), which include headache, fatigue, and runny nose. we considered effect of sick building syndrome with illnesses like headache, fatigue and runny nose. thus, we designed a questionnaire and asked from male of dormitory residence. questions of the questionnaire were more about known symptoms of buildings (headache, fatigue, ...

This study aimed (i) to assess the ability of electronic nose (e-nose) technology to differentiate between blood samples of experimentally infected and non-infected subjects, and (ii) to evaluate e-nose responses given by volatile organic compounds in relation to the acute phase reaction generated in the host. In an animal model of gram-negative bacterial infection (20 calves; intratracheal ino...

The electronic nose (e-nose) is designed to crudely mimic the mammalian nose in that most contain sensors that non-selectively interact with odor molecules to produce some sort of signal that is then sent to a computer that uses multivariate statistics to determine patterns in the data. This pattern recognition is used to determine that one sample is similar or different from another based on h...

In this paper, electronic nose (E-nose) was used to discriminate the 11 Chinese Materia Medica (CMM) from Umbelliferae by the difference of their odors. The E-nose generated data were analyzed by discriminant function analysis (DFA) and the responses of 18 sensors of E-nose were evaluated by CA analysis. Results showed that a rapid evaluation of complex response of the samples could be obtained...

background the efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. we have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using acoustic rhinometry (ar) and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (nose) scale. methods between may 2011 and may 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to otorhinol...

INTRODUCTION Crooked or deviated nose is a deviation of the nose from the straight vertical position of the face. Extensive pneumatization of the middle turbinate, also called concha bullosa or bullous middle turbinate (BMT) is known to be one of the possible etiologic factors in nasal obstruction, recurrent sinusitis, and headache. There is no study concerning a link between BMT and crooked no...

AbstractThis paper investigates a novel technique for extraction of the nose-tip from three-dimensional face image in any pose, which is needed for nose-tip based face registration. The present technique uses weighted median filter for smoothing. No normalization process is applied and the system correctly detects nose-tips across any pose variations. In our system, at first the range images ar...

An electronic nose is a device that performs the electronic olfactory to substitute human experts. The development of these devices is growing faster due to higher demand. Electronic nose is the mimicking of human nose. Electronic-nose devices have received considerable attention in the field of sensor technology during the past twenty years, largely due to the discovery of numerous application...
