Objective: The virtual slides are high-magnification whole digital images of histopathological tissue sections. The existing virtual slide system, which is optimized for scanning flat and smooth plane slides such as histopathological paraffin-embedded tissue sections, but is unsuitable for scanning irregular plane slides such as cytological smear slides. This study aims to develop a virtual sli...

In a recent publication Northrop t describes a convenient cell for microscopic cataphoresis measurements which can easily be made by cementing together microscopic slides. The writer has modified the cell so that it can be employed for measurements of cataphoresis of particles of ultramicroscopic size such as colloidal gold, etc. The modification consists in cementing slides in such a maimer as...

In the present study, landslides cyclically reactivated by water-table oscillations due to rainfall are dealt with. The principal kind of motion that usually characterizes such is a slide with rather small velocity. As another feature, soil deformations substantially accumulated inside narrow shear zone situated below landslide body so latter approximately slides rigidly. Within this framework,...

Transfer table is an essential stage between roughing and finishing rolling stands in a hot-strip rolling mill. High temperature and long time that strip is exposed to air at this stage cause a considerable heat loss that accounts for uneven temperature distribution, non-uniform surfaces, reduced product quality and increased production costs. Using thermal shields on the transfer table is cons...

All operations and manipulations of cultures can be carried out inside Setup: incubation the anaerobic chamber, thus avoiding any exposure to oxygen...

We have used the HOME Microscope system to examine the screening patterns of cytotechnologists who undertake the primary screening of cervical smears, in order to measure accuracy of screening against screening time, slide coverage, and mean screening rate. Twelve cytotechnologists engaged routinely on cervical screening volunteered for this study. They were asked to perform primary screening o...

Organometallics are increasingly gaining attention as tools in chemical biology owing to their distinguished physicochemical properties, reactivities, and three-dimensional structures. Along these lines, the exceptional ability of organometallic compounds to catalyze a wide variety of chemical transformations has not yet been sufficiently exploited for chemical biology, but could yield bioactiv...

Currently electronic slide (e-slide) is one of the most common styles in educational presentation. Unfortunately, the utilization of e-slide for the visually impaired is uncommon since they are unable to see the content of such e-slides which are usually composed of text, images and animation. This paper proposes a model for presenting e-slide in multimodal presentation i.e. using conventional ...
