One of the principal characteristics of the inspection of ceramic materials is the small size of the critical defects involved. In order to meet this challenge, either very high frequency techniques must be developed or conventional (low frequency) techniques must be used in special ways. This paper addresses the latter approach by investigating the use of commercial transducers combined with f...

This article reviews conventional and novel methods for facial-image identification from forensic aspects. Among the conventional approaches, three methods, i.e., morphological comparison of facial features, anthropometric indices comparison, and face-to-face superimposition, are generally used. The methods most commonly used in caseworks are in the order of morphological comparison, anthropome...

Over recent decades, electromagnetic methods have been viewed with considerable suspicion by many in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. While highly effective in mineral and environmental geophysics, electro m a g n e t i c methods have played a minor role in hydrocarbon exploration. Since electromagnetic (EM) methods use signals that diffuse in the Earth, they cannot provide the same vertic...

Accurate diagnosis of the presence or absence of disease is a fundamental requirement in health care. The diagnosis of non-overt occlusal decay is challenging and can be highly subjective, and its inherent uncertainties can lead to widely differing treatment decisions. The development of more sensitive, specific and reproducible diagnostic tools for occlusal surfaces would contribute greatly to...

Tonsillectomy is old surgical procedure that has evolved to a more safe method that has lesser complications with little or no morbidity and mortality. Aim: this was comparative study which compared the old dissection tonsillectomy method and the newer method of tonsillectomy (ultrasonic scalpel and Laser tonsillectomy method). Methodology: Equal number of patients both in age and sexes had con...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Cryptococcosis is a chronic infective condition affecting the central nervous system. Unless diagnosed early and specific treatment instituted it can be fatal. There is an urgent need for a rapid and specific diagnostic tool for better management of the patients. Conventional methods such as culture and India ink are specific but cumbersome and time consuming. Serological...

Plazma ayırma (fraksiyonlama) 60 yıl önce Cohn ve çalışma arkadaşları tarafından geliştirilmiş olan büyük ölçekli protein saflaştırılmasında ilk basamaktır. Son yılların tedavi amaçlı kullanılan önemli proteinleri insan serum albumini (HSA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), pıhtılaşma faktörü VIII ve proteaz inhibitörleridir. HSA plazmada en çok bulunan proteindir ve IgG ile tüm plazma proteinlerinin %8...

Antimicrobial assays are important tools to test and screen the inhibitory effects of myriad compounds against microorganisms before establishing their inhibitory spectra (broad vs. narrow). Knowledge of the inhibitory spectra of antimicrobial compounds before their application in the fields of agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine is crucial. Various conventional and contemporary methods ar...
