Measurement of morphological variation is essential to our understanding of human evolution. At least two classes of statistics can be used to describe variation: (1) statistics such as the variance that measure average dissimilarity (distance), and (2) statistics such as the range of variation that measure maximal dissimilarity. Either kind of measure may be meaningfully employed depending on ...

Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that raised plasma concentrations of total homocysteine (tHcy) may be a common, causal and treatable risk factor for atherothromboembolic ischaemic stroke. Although tHcy can be lowered effectively with small doses of folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6, it is not known whether lowering tHcy, by means of multivitamin therapy, can prevent stroke and ...

The dielectric properties of an elastomeric polymer are modified with the inclusion of dopants, with the aim of reducing dielectric loss in the terahertz range. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is selected as the host polymer, and micro/nano-particle powders of either alumina or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are employed as dopants. Composite samples are prepared, and characterised with terahertz t...

The terahertz (THz) radiation refers to electromagnetic waves between infrared and millimeter waves. THz technology has shown a significant potential for medical diagnosis biomedical applications over the past three decades. Therefore, exploring biological effects of become an important new field in life sciences. Specifically, been proved be able diagnose treat several head neck diseases. In t...
