Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTechnique for In-Vivo Measurements of Heart Deformation Using Digital Image CorrelationRonald B. Bucinell, Matthew T. Adams, Mcolisi Dlamini, Leo J. FleishmanMany techniques used to measure the deformation of biological tissue are inadequate for measuring deformations of hearts in vivo. Bull Frogs (Rana Catesbeiana) were double-pithed and dissected to expose the amphibian heart for the measurements conducted in this study. White titanium dioxide powder and black charcoal were applied to the surface of the heart to create an artificial surface pattern … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2016 · 7,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Dynamic Threshold Method for Skin Colour Detection Using Multi-Colour SpaceMohd Zamri Osman, Mohd Aizaini Maarof, Mohd Foad RohaniThis paper presents a skin colour detection based on an improved dynamic threshold method to reduce false skin detection. Current fixed threshold skin detection fails in certain situations such as misclassification between non skin-like with similar skin-like colour. Any true skin may falsely be detected as non-skin. Research work introduces high-level skin detection strategy based on online sampling where offline … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 19 Dec 2015 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis of Pain in Small Companion AnimalsGiorgia della Rocca, Alice Catanzaro, Alessandra Di Salvo, Mary Ellen GoldbergIt is now widely accepted that animals are able to experience pain in a similar way to humans. Acute and/or chronic pain is associated not only with many surgical procedures, but also with various medical diseases, where pain may increase morbidity and mortality. Moreover, some types of pain (e.g., neuropathic pain) can be considered as an illness in themselves. Recognizing … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2015 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBLOOD VESSEL DIAMETER MEASUREMENT ON RETINAL IMAGENidhal K. El Abbadi, Enas Al SaadiAccurate measurement of vessel diameters on retinal images plays an important part in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and early signs of certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. In this study we develop new method based on computer aided to determine the width of retinal blood vessels by analysing the color fundus image. Retinal vessel diameter was measured based on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 18 Jan 2014 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC RETINAL VESSEL TORTUOSITY MEASUREMENTNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Enas Hamood Al SaadiRetinal vascular vessels have the role to indicate the retinal diseases and for systematic diseases when there are any abnormalities in retinal vascular pattern. A characteristic of the vascular pattern that is appreciated by clinicians is vascular tortuosity, i.e., how curved or kinked a blood vessel, either vein or artery, appears along its course. In this study we suggest a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWavelet Transform Based Automatic Lesion Detection in Cervix Images Using Active ContourP. S. Rama Praba, H. RanganathanColposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix by a colposcope. Most cases of cervical cancer can be prevented through screening programs aimed at detecting precancerous lesions. Colposcopy cervical images are acquired in raw form which contains major cervix lesions, regions outside the cervix and parts of the imaging devices such as speculum. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2013 · 7,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanoscale Pitch Standards Sample Fabricated using Laser-Focused Atomic DepositionYan Ma, Tongbao Li, Yajun Zhao et al.Problem statement: Nanotechnology is already a large sector of industry and science research and it is expected to continue to grow at very fast rate. The determination of absolute measurements of length at the nanometer scale and below is very difficult and expensive. So the nanoscale metrology standard is needed. Approach: The laser-focused atomic deposition is a new way to … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 3 Sep 2012 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntervened 2-Tier Poisson Distribution for Understanding Hospital Site InfectivityR. ShanmugamProblem statement: Whether it is a surgical site or medical treatment at a hospital site, the nurses in particular and the entire medical team including surgeons/physicians in general undergo a risk of being infected ironically by the patients whom they intend to disinfect. There are 2-tiers of patients at the site. One type consists of patients who are internally and … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2012 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Localization from Magnetic Resonance Images SequenceAhmed Farag, Mahmoud FakhreldinProblem statement: Heart localization is an important step in cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) analysis. This study aims to locate the moving heart region from MRI sequence of images. Approach: The idea is to use the motion detection techniques to isolate the heart region from the background image and then apply morphological operations to construct a moving heart region mask. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2012 · 6,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOlfactory Responses of the Asiatic Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina citri) to Mineral Oil-Treated Mandarin LeavesMofit Eko Poerwanto, Y. Andi Trisyono, G. Andrew C. Beattie et al.Problem statement: Evidence of rejection or acceptance by phytophagous pests of citrus plants treated with mineral oils suggests that impacts of oils may be related to detection by olfactory and/or contact chemoreceptors of repellent oils or plant volatiles. Alternatively, the oils may mask or suppress attractant host plant volatiles. To date, no studies have reported that oils elicit an olfactory … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 8,782 accessesView PDFCite
