This paper is an introduction to Thermal Texture Maps (TTM), starting from the end of the 80’s to the present, topics covered will be basic theory, medical and other fields’ application. It will also discuss TTM’s present technical problems and the expectation of TTM applications in this new century; proliferation of TTM technology in industrial engineering, military and medical fields and revo...

A 380 volume 118 | number 9 | September 2010 • Environmental Health Perspectives environmental and engineered, and that consider both direct exposure and other modes of exposure. We hope that EHP will take this into considera tion during the peerreview process in the future. A.C.R.M. is owner and general manager of TTM Andreas Mayer, an emission consulting company. The remaining authors declare...

In this paper, we introduce and study the concepts of prime left, semiprime left and irreducible left hyperideals in ternary semihyper- groups and investigate some basic properties of them. We introduce the concepts of hyper lter and hypersemilattice congruence of ternary semi- hypergroups. We give some characterizations of hyper lters in ternary semihypergroups. Some relationships between hype...

Image classification is one of the most fundamental and useful activities in computer vision domain. For better accuracy and executing efficiency under the circumstance of high dimensional feature descriptors in image classification, we proposes a novel framework for multi-class image classification based on kernel principal component analysis(KPCA) for feature descriptors post-processing and s...

Objectives: It is important to recognize any risk factors for the development of injuries in the athletic population. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between joint hyper mobility and low back pain in Iranian hyper mobile and non-hyper mobile athletes. Methods: 50 athletic patients with low back pain (age=23.20±12.79 years) and 51 healthy athletes (age=24.28&pl...

Hyper-tubes consisting of hyper-cubes of n-dimensions were designed and formulas for substructures of vary dimensions established.

 Background: Generalized joint hyper mobility predisposes some individuals to a wide variety of musculoskeletal complaints. Given the critical role of scapular position in function of shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position between persons with and without general joint hyper mobility. Methods: By nonprobability sampling 30 hyper mobile persons at average of 22.86 ±2.77...

Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade tumor located in the third ventricle-hypothalamic region. Since its first report, 37 cases have been described in the literature. We report on an additional case that we considered significant because of its incidental detection and its uneventful surgical removal.

We use Hyper Rayleigh Scattering and polarization resolved multiphoton microscopy to investigate simultaneously the second and third-order nonlinear response of Potassium Niobate and Bismuth Ferrite harmonic nanoparticles. We first derive the second-to-third harmonic intensity ratio for colloidal ensembles and estimate the average third-order efficiency of these two materials. Successively, we ...
