The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), ultrasound measurements (USM), and internal fat (IF) in hair sheep. BMI USM were determined 24 hours before laughter 35 animals finished intensive fattening. At slaughter, IF (inner adipose tissue) dissected, weighed, grouped as mesenteric, omental, or perirenal fat; these three depots summed obtain thei...

An active one-dimensional Fibonacci photonic quasi-crystal is realized via spin coating. Luminescence properties of an organic dye embedded in the quasi-crystal are studied experimentally and compared to theoretical simulations. The luminescence occurs via the pseudo-bandedge mode and follows the dispersion properties of the Fibonacci crystal. Time resolved luminescence measurement of the activ...

We synthesized the uniform core-shell microstructured compounds with hexagonal phase NaYF₄:Er/Yb microrods as the core and hexagonal phase NaLnF₄ (NaYbF₄, NaLuF₄:Yb/Tm, NaYF₄:Yb/Er, NaYF₄:Eu) as the shell based on the hydrothermal reaction. These microscale core-shell structures provided a platform for the spatially confining optical process while possessing high luminescence efficiency. The th...

In this study, we introduce a wide spectral range (200-2500 nm) imaging system with a 250 μm minimum spatial resolution, which can be freely modified for a wide range of resolutions and measurement geometries. The system has been tested for reflectance and luminescence measurements, but can also be customized for transmittance measurements. This study includes the performance results of the dev...

This paper reports on efforts to enhance the photovoltaic performance of textured silicon solar cells through the application of a layer of Eu-doped silicate phosphor with particles of various dimensions using the spin-on film technique. We examined the surface profile and dimensions of the Eu-doped phosphors in the silicate layer using optical microscopy with J-image software. Optical reflecta...

BACKGROUND Using the same cutoff points for whole-body measurements as for site-specific measurements will result in underestimation of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVES We assessed the correlation between densitometry measurements for the whole body with those for the femur, lumbar spine, and forearm to evaluate the possibility of replacing site-specific values with whole-body measurements.
