Microscopic Image Analysis for Life Science Applications

Microscopic image analysis using computer-assisted methodology to quantify immunostained receptors

Image analysis is a rapidly expanding field, with large diversity of applications in life sciences, including basic and clinical research, biology, etc. Since most of images in life science are acquired through microscopy, procedures and methods for image analysis present some specificities. In this chapter, an overview on the fundamentals of imaging, processing, staining and analysis in biolog...

Validity and reliability of the multidimensional student’s life satisfaction scale among Iranian girl students

Life satisfaction is a subjective and unique concept for each person that constitutes an essential component of the subjective well-being. The aim of his study was investigating the psychometric properties of Multidimentional student’s Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS) by using confirmatory factor analysis. Sample size of 307 students in Tehran were selected randomly. To calculate the conver...

An Image Analysis-Based Methodology for Chromite Exploration through Opto-Geometric Parameters; a Case Study in Faryab Area, SE of Iran

Traditional methods of chromite exploration are mostly based on geophysical techniques and drilling operations. They are expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, they suffer from several shortcomings such as lack of sufficient geophysical density contrast. In order to overcome these drawbacks, the current research work is carried out to introduce a novel, automatic and opto-geometric image an...

Analysis of loess sediment texture in Golestan province according to the microstructure parameters

This study was performed to recognize the loess texture in Golestan Province, Iran using the microstructure analysis according to the electron microscopic images. Loess microstructure study allows for investigating the characteristics of particle shape, fabric, cement and porosity in microscopic images. In recent years, computer analysis has been replaced with manual calculation due to its high...
