introduction: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) remains as one of the most reliable tests in clinical practices. yet its use is time consuming and requires a large blood sample. the aim of this study was assessing a faster and reliable method of esr estimation. methods: an esr estimation method was described and performed on 108 patients using capillary tube (micro esr) and capillary periphe...

in this work, the time series modeling was used to predict the tazareh coal mine risks. for this purpose, initially, a monthly analysis of the risk constituents including frequency index and incidence severity index was performed. next, a monthly time series diagram related to each one of these indices was for a nine year period of time from 2005 to 2013. after extrusion of the trend, seasonali...

INTRODUCTION Blood samples are a critical component of Point-of-Care clinical diagnosis [1]. These blood samples are analyzed in Lab-on-a-Chip devices, which monitor important parameters such as glucose and lactate levels. For these systems to work, the blood sample must be introduced to an empty capillary microchannel that guides the sample to an on-chip sensor. Thus the filling characteristic...
