Uniform-thickness electrospun nanofiber mat production system based on real-time thickness measurement

Registration based cortical thickness measurement

Cortical thickness is an important biomarker for image-based studies of the brain. A diffeomorphic registration based cortical thickness (DiReCT) measure is introduced where a continuous one-to-one correspondence between the gray matter-white matter interface and the estimated gray matter-cerebrospinal fluid interface is given by a diffeomorphic mapping in the image space. Thickness is then def...

Specimen Thickness Influences Material and Failure Properties of Electrospun Nanofiber Mats

Gingival Thickness Assessment: Visual versus Direct Measurement

Background and Aim: Several methods have been suggested to measure gingival thick-ness. This study aimed to assess the reliability of visual assessment of facial gingival biotype of maxillary and mandibular teeth with or without using a periodontal probe in comparison with direct measurement. Materials and Methods: Sixty-seven healthy patients (25 women and 42 men) with a total of 100 hopele...

Sea-Ice Thickness Measurement:

Helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) induction systems provide a means to measure sea ice thickness along flight paths covering a large area in a short period of time, and make the data available in real-time for incorporation into operational ice charts. Ice surface elevation profiles are also collected with a laser altimeter contained in the system. With the introduction of the fix-mounted ...

Electrospun nanofiber-based drug delivery systems

Electrospinning is a very simple and versatile process by which polymer nanofibers with diameters ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers can be produced using an electrostatically driven jet of polymer solution or polymer melt. Significant progress has been made in this process throughout the past few years and electrospinning has advanced its applications in many fields, includin...
