Emerging Technology as a Key Enabler for Modernizing Pharmaceutical Manufacturing.

Information Technology as the Enabler of One-to-One Marketing

Until recently, one-to-one marketing, the ability to sell targeted goods to an individual based on their known or perceived needs, was not possible for most product types on a mass basis. Indeed, marketing practice in recent years centered around segmented marketing, in which people are treated as members of groups with similar interests and marketing is done at the group level. However, recent...

Handicrafts, Encountering Modern Technology

This article aimes to emphasize certain points concerning traditional art , and to put forward a question. As the term” Traditional art” is rather ambiguous, first we try to clarify it. To do so, we propose an approach somehow different from one generally admitted. Thereby, we discuss the reasons why it is not so easy to give a definition of traditional art, islamic art in particular, specially...

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer accounting for one in every three cancers diagnosed in American women. Currently breast cancer screening is performed by a combination of annual clinical breast examinations and x-ray mammography. However, only 1025% of the suspicious lesions detected during mammography are in fact malignant. This high rate of false positive mammographic screening ...

Modern Optics and Spectroscopy

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a novel biomedical imaging technique which uses lowcoherence optical interferometry to obtain micron-scale resolution tomographic images of subsurface tissue structure noninvasively. We have developed OCT scanners compatible with minimally invasive delivery technologies (i.e., biomicroscopy, endoscopy) capable of imaging up to video rate. Clinical studies o...
