A three-dimensional (3-D) dataset of Ni-based superalloy Inconel 100 is used as a validation case for using stereology to estimate 3-D grain sizes from 2-D data. 2-D sections of the IN100 dataset are extracted, from which 3-D size distributions are estimated through the use of the Saltykov method and compared to the true 3-D statistics. The Saltykov method corrected the upper tail disparity bet...

A persistent problem in investigations of electromagnetic properties ofsnow, from reflectance at visible wavelengths to emission and backscattering in the microwave, has been the proper characterization of the snow’s physical properties. We suggest that the granular and laminar structure of snow can be measured in its aggregated state by stereology performed on sections prepared from snow speci...

Reliable microstructure measurement of snow is a requirement for microwave radiative transfer model validation. Snow specific surface area (SSA) can be measured using stereological methods, in which samples are cast the field and photographed laboratory. Processing stereology photographs manually by counting intersections test cycloids with air–ice boundaries reduces problems binary segmentatio...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a worldwide flavor enhancer. The excessive concentration in nerve tissue induces the death of cells, known as excitotoxicity. In orofacial region, cells’ affects pain perception such mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia. aim present study was to examine response modification estimated total number trigeminal ganglion sensory neurons after sub chronic oral administ...

Oxaliplatin (Ox) is widely used for the treatment of various tumors. Since Ox prevents DNA replication and transcription, it may affect organs with rapid cell divisions such as testes. Although its use during pregnancy has been reported, no information regarding effects on testes offspring not available yet. Thirty-two mice were randomly divided into four groups. The control group (1) was admin...
