Sorting and mating is a very common practice in high precision manufacturing, as well in the watch industry, biomedical or automotive industry. This strategy helps to increase the assembly yield, but is costly and timeconsuming. The question is, when is it necessary to apply sorting and mating, and when can it by avoided without loss in product quality? We furthermore show in this paper that th...

The physical and mathematical foundations of computed topography are notoriously difficult to understand. A newly designed hands-on model laser optical tomography systemÐsuitable for both classroom and labÐcan help students grasp the abstract concepts, such as projections, the Radon transform, and filtered backprojection. The model bridges the gap between the well-known need and the lack of han...

ABSTRACT Bioorthogonal ligations have emerged as highly versatile chemical tools for biomedical research. The exceptionally fast reaction between 1,2,4,5-tetrazines and trans-cyclooctenes (TCOs), also known as tetrazine ligation, is frequently used in this regard. Growing numbers of applications for the tetrazine ligation led to an increased demand for TCO compounds, whose commercial availabili...

Image processing is used in every sphere of life such as agriculture, remote sensing, wireless, medical etc. Biomedical imaging plays a vital role in the detection of diseases. Without image processing, it is not possible to detect diseases such as cancer, tumors etc. Medical equipment such as ultrasound, MRI, CT scan machine is totally dependent on image processing algorithms. Radiologists uti...

Mice, both wildtype and transgenic, are the principal mammalian model in biomedical research currently. Intubation and mechanical ventilation are necessary for whole animal experiments that require surgery under deep anesthesia or measurements of lung function. Tracheostomy has been the standard for intubating the airway in these mice to allow mechanical ventilation. Orotracheal intubation has ...

Up to date, tele-pathology in the three different forms of application, "dynamic", "static" and "virtual microscopy" has been mainly based on tele-hystology remote consulting. Today the diffusion of specialized WAN connections is guiding the research of new applications of tele-pathology. A specific analysis has been conducted, focused on digital cytology, in the biomedical laboratory of Sant'A...

The adaptation of strict hygienic practices by healthcare personnel as well as the implementation of appropriate cleaning and disinfection measures form the basis of infection control policies. However, nosocomial infections constitute a considerable problem even in hospitals with meticulous infection control programmes. This should prompt biomedical researchers to evaluate the efficacy and saf...

The importance of nanotechnology in medical technologies, especially biomedical diagnostics, is indubitable. By taking advantages of nanomaterials, many medical diagnostics methods have been developed so far, including electrochemical nanobiosensors. They have been used for quantification of different clinical biomarkers for detecting, screening, or follow up a disease. microRNAs (miRNAs) are o...
