A clinical examination system is presented to analyse the yellowness presented on the skin of premature newborn babies, namely transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB). The system is based on chromatic modulation methods to extract, process and analyse data in order to determine the spectral chromaticity of a baby’s tissue without taking blood samples. Chromatic bilirubin monitoring tests have shown a hi...

As human impact have been increasing strongly over the last decades, it is crucial to distinguish human-induced dust sources from natural ones in order to define the boundary of a newly proposed epoch - the Anthropocene. Here, we track anthropogenic signatures and natural geochemical anomalies in the Mukhrino peatland, Western Siberia. Human activity was recorded there from cal AD 1958 (±6). An...

BACKGROUND The heat produced by provisional restoration materials may injure the dental pulp. This study measured and compared peak temperatures during polymerization of 5 materials used in the fabrication of provisional restorations. METHODS The tested materials were 2 self-curing resins (Integrity and Protemp) and 3 dual-cure resins (Iso-Temp, TCB Dual Cure and Provipont DC). A mould the si...

Cloud computing is an environment where everything provided as a service based on demand. It follows pay per the used model in which consumer needs to for what they have consumed. Due increased dependence digitalization, number of consumers and providers tends grow tremendously. The who from provider not sure about specified outcome, it too hard them monitor manage service. Hence, trusted third...

Straw boards are the environmentally-friendly and sustainable materials used for building envelopes. To validate a novel alternative test method of thermal conductivity (λ), temperature control box–heat flux meter (TCB-HFM), better understand properties straw boards, experimental investigation on two types using such was carried out. Moreover, via conventional guarded hot plate (GHP) conducted ...

Frontal polymerization (FP) is an out-of-autoclave, self-sustaining cure process that enables rapid and energy-efficient manufacturing of composites compared to conventional processes. Prior FP demonstrations for both polymer composite materials rely on one front achieve full cure. In this work, we investigate the effect multiple fronts time, quality, mechanical performance. Localized void form...

The purpose of the research is to study solubility triclabendazole-based (TCB) solid dispersions (SD) and polymers obtained under optimal conditions mechanochemical technology; confirm chemical stability a TCB substance by HPLC method both during its SD preparation their storage. Materials methods . used substance, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), arabinogalactan (AG), licorice extract (LE) that con...

Four mutations (N23A, Y90A, R110A and F177A) were introduced into S19, a vaccine candidate for staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), resulting in a lower binding affinity towards the T-cell receptor beta chain (TCB) and reducing its superantigen activity. The structure of S19 was solved and was superposed on the native or complex structure of SEB. In the superposition model, mutations that were i...

For embedded systems, the use of software-based error detection and correction approaches is an attractive means in order to reduce often inconvenient overheads in hardware. To ensure that such a software-based fault-tolerance approach is effective, it must be guaranteed that a certain amount of hardware and software components in a system can be trusted to provide correct service in the presen...

We present Flicker, an infrastructure for executing security-sensitive code in complete isolation while trusting as few as 250 lines of additional code. Flicker can also provide meaningful, fine-grained attestation of the code executed (as well as its inputs and outputs) to a remote party. Flicker guarantees these properties even if the BIOS, OS and DMA-enabled devices are all malicious. Flicke...
