The implementation of an automated data entry and report generation system using an optical scanner and commercially available image processing program is described. This method could be easily adapted for use in other fields of medical research where the compilation of a large amount of repetitive data is involved, such as the filling in of questionnaires. Using an optical scanner for data ent...

purpose: to report a young patient with microphthalmos associated with bilateral papillomacular fold and severe hyperopia case report: in this observational case report, a sixteen-year-old young man was referred with high hyperopia to al-zahra eye hospital, zahedan university of medicalf sciences, zahedan, iran, for check up. spherical error in right eye (re) was +14.75 d and in the left eye (l...

this investigation was performed on 1056 stool samples collected from isfahan area (with high intensity of infection) and dasht-mishan area of khuzestan. as indicated in tables 1, 2 and 3 the results of kato thick-smear technique is comparable to those conventional methods of formalin-ether and flotation methods, plus low cost, simplicity and practicability of kato's thick-smear. for ascaris eg...

abstract in recent decades, because of the vast socio-cultural changes which occurred in iran, iranian women have experienced new values and identities and they have achieved more advanced education and consciousness, so that they oppose the gender stereotypes which attribute inferior characteristics to women and cause inequalities and limitations in their everyday life. although gender stereot...

This study proposed a method for reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) non-axisymmetric temperature fields in water formed by mixed convection surrounding small heating sphere. The is based on the dependence of absorption coefficient at wavelength 1150 nm near-infrared (NIR) region. absorbance images 10-mm-thick cell containing 1-mm diameter steel sphere heated via electromagnetic induction wer...

The Shore hardness test has been widely used and has become the standard for characterizing materials in the rubber and plastics industries. The obtained hardness scale values, ASTM or IRHD, are often related to the static elastic properties of rubber like-materials. Recently, progress on the problem of obtaining dynamic viscoelastic properties has been made through the use of an oscillating sp...

Spherical diffusion flames supported on a porous sphere were studied numerically and experimentally. Experiments were performed in 2.2 s and 5.2 s microgravity facilities. Numerical results were obtained from a Chemkin-based program. The program simulates flow from a porous sphere into a quiescent environment, yields both steady-state and transient results, and accounts for optically thick gas-...
