Combined cotton picker with interchangeable devices

Diffusion of the Mechanical Cotton Picker

Cotton-based Diagnostic Devices

A good diagnostic procedure avoids wasting medical resources, is easy to use, resists contamination, and provides accurate information quickly to allow for rapid follow-up therapies. We developed a novel diagnostic procedure using a "cotton-based diagnostic device" capable of real-time detection, i.e., in vitro diagnostics (IVD), which avoids reagent contamination problems common to existing bi...

Comparison of pupil diameter measurement with Lenstar LS 900 and OPD Scan II. Not interchangeable devices.

D pupil measurement is of great concern in corneal refractive surgery, as well as when phakic or multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is planned.1,2 Pupil size may influence the choice of ablation zone in refractive surgery and IOL design in cataract surgery, and it should be measured accurately so as not to end up with unfavorable postoperative outcomes, such as halos, glare, or poor...

Combined ultrasound-laccase assisted bleaching of cotton.

This study evaluates the potential of using ultrasound to enhance the bleaching efficiency of laccase enzyme on cotton fabrics. Ultrasound of low intensity (7W) and relatively short reaction time (30 min) seems to act in a synergistic way with the enzyme in the oxidation/removal of the natural colouring matter of cotton. The increased bleaching effect could be attributed to improved diffusion o...

The Picker-Chooser diameter game

Positional Games are played under several rules on the same hypergraph. We consider some intriguing connection among the outcome of the Maker-Breaker and the Picker-Chooser versions. The later ones were introduced by Beck in [5] and proved to be important in understanding Positional Games in general. Beck had the profound conjecture that playing on the same hypergraph, Picker has better chances...
