Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer today in women. The main avenue of diagnosis is through manual examination of histopathology tissue slides. Such a process is often subjective and error-ridden, suffering from both inter- and intraobserver variability. Our objective is to develop an automatic algorithm for analysing histopathology slides free of human subjectivity. Here...

Nickel-plated slides were prepared by evaporating a nickel layer (congruent to 4000 A thick) on glass slides in the presence of a magnetic field whose lines of force were perpendicular to the surface of the slides. Such slides are called active. After being coated with a layer of bovine albumin, they could absorb a layer of antibodies 70-80 A thick. However, if the active slides before they wer...

Rowing is a physiologically intense sport which requires consistent and economically efficient strokes. Therefore, the muscles synergy is crucial to determine success in rowing either on ergometer or water. However, there is no studies have been done comparing the muscle synergy during rowing with and without slides system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the muscle synergies dur...

Despite its obvious importance in mood disorders, characterization of emotional reactivity has been neglected in bipolar disorders. Concerning manic states and the current classification, the main criterion is the presence of an elevated or expansive mood. In contrast to this characteristic and often prolonged mood state, emotional reactivity refers to a brief evoked response to salient emotion...

Background Whole Slide Imaging (WSI), called also Digital Microscopy, is the most current approach to digitization of histological information [1,2]. It allows for transferring a whole histological slide into digital form, thus enabling any kind of digital treatment from storage and transmission, to telediagnosis, to automatic image analysis. WSI technologies developed only recently, and thus m...

Surface functionalisation with viscosity sensitive dyes termed 'molecular rotors' can potentially open up new opportunities in sensing, for example for non-invasive biological viscosity imaging, in studying the effect of shear stress on lipid membranes and in cells, and in imaging contacts between surfaces upon applied pressure. We have functionalised microscope slides with BODIPY-based molecul...

BACKGROUND The spreading of whole slide imaging or digital slide systems in pathology as an innovative technique seems to be unstoppable. Successful introduction of digital slides in education has played a crucial role to reach this level of acceptance. Practically speaking there is no university institute where digital materials are not built into pathology education. At the 1st. Department of...

Lecture slides are commonly used in university to support teaching and learning. An effective way to organize and access slides will enhance the education quality. This paper presents a software system that allows instructors to index slides for student search and enquiry. The web-based system can be accessed with multiple channels of wireless handheld devices and wired desktop and laptop compu...

We estimated the diameters below which 50% and 90% of the volume of droplets exist (Dv50 and Dv90, respectively) of 1 oil-based (Permanone 30-30) and 2 water-based (AquaReslin, Aqua-K-Othrine) antievaporant aerosols (with the Film Forming Aqueous Spray Technology [FFAST]) using Teflon- and magnesium oxide (MgO)-coated slides and determined whether the aging of the droplets on the slides (up to ...
