some children of borazjan area have minute white flecks, yellow or brown spot areas scattered irregularly over the tooth surface, the causative factor was attributed to excess of fluoride in water. to verify this matter short chemical examination of water samples from endemic area was carried out. the results of water analysis by colorimetric method, using zirconium a1izarin reagent after disti...

Abstract: The colorimetric organization of RGB color images is analyzed through the computation of algorithms which can characterize fractal organizations in the support and population of their three-dimensional color histogram. These algorithms have shown that complex organizations across scales exist in the colorimetric domain for natural images with often non-integer fractal dimension over a...

We report a simple and efficient colorimetric method to screen large numbers of bacterial strains for UV- and X-radiation sensitivity. We used reference radiation-sensitive and control strains of Escherichia coli K-12 to compare our colorimetric method to a standard clonogenic plating method. Our colorimetric method was as accurate as the standard method and was superior in terms of savings in ...

We report the enhancement of the colorimetric response of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) in bioassays by thermally evaporated silver, gold, copper and nickel thin films. In this regard, a model bioassay based on biotin-avidin interactions was employed. Biotin groups and enzymes were introduced to all surfaces using a biotinylated linker molecule and avidin, respectiv...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the concordance between the empirical choice of interdental brushes of different diameters compared to the gold standard, the IAP CURAPROX(©) calibrating colorimetric probe. It is carried out with the aim of facilitating the consensus development of best practices. All the subjects' interproximal spaces were evaluated using the reference technique (colorimet...

The colorimetric error depends on the spectrophotometric inaccuracy. In this paper, a ‎new method is introduced for determining the relationship between spectrophotometric ‎error and colorimetric inaccuracy. The error propagation in colorimetric parameter ‎calculation is evaluated using a linear relation between variance of reflectance spectra ‎and CIE tristimulus values. This linear formula ca...

Objective This study aims to compare the accuracy of visual, quantitative gravimetric, and colorimetric methods used to determine blood loss during cesarean delivery procedures employing a hemoglobin extraction assay as the reference standard. Study Design In 50 patients having cesarean deliveries blood loss determined by assays of hemoglobin content on surgical sponges and in suction canisters...

A commercially prepared, dried colorimetric microdilution panel (Sensititre YeastOne Trek Diagnostic Systems, Cleveland, OH) was compared in three different laboratories with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference microdilution method by testing 2 quality control strains, 25 reproducibility strains, and 404 isolates of Candida spp. against anidulafungin, caspofungin, a...
