K U n t s c h e r (1934) employed the strain-sensitive lacquer for the first time to investigate the mechanical characteristics of bones. This technique was then used by G u r d j i a n and Lissner (1945), Evans and Lissner (1948), Evans, Lissner and Pedersen (1948), Evans and Lissner (1955), Evans and G o f f (1957), and Endo (1961) in their biomechanical studies on the bone. The technique of ...

A simple method to enhance the sensitivity of photomultipliers (PMTs) will be described. The method is based on applying onto the cathode window a specially prepared lacquer containing a wavelength shifter (WLS). A rapidly evaporating lacquer solvent results in a milky surface that acts as a photon scatterer. Applying the method to the ET 9116A PMT (hemispherical borosilicate window and Rubidiu...

After industrial coating processes lacquer has to to be dried with the help of heat. Often this is done by hot air or infrared systems. Compared to other technologies Infrared heat needs less space and provides energy exactly where it is needed. Infrared drying has the best results with material which has a simple geometric shape. But if the oven is designed appropriate to the requirements lacq...

In this study, a scientific analysis of the gold leaf layers and internal structure Clay Seated Vairocana Buddha Triad in Seonunsa Temple, Gochang (Treasure No. 1752) was conducted. The surface statues is foil, layer consists four layers. first composed on molding clay produced order lacquer-fabrics-lacquer-gold foil. Subsequently, it confirmed that work performed three times same way. composit...

Onychomycosis is prevalent in the Canadian population, and risk factors, such as old age and diabetes, are increasing. This condition has traditionally been treated using oral antifungal agents with varying degrees of success. Recently, ciclopirox nail lacquer 8% solution became the first topical agent approved in Canada for onychomycosis. Ciclopirox nail lacquer may be safe and effective for t...

OBJECTIVE To describe the severity and morphological features of high myopic maculopathy in Chinese patients and to evaluate their association with age, refractive error and visual acuity. METHODS Six hundred and four eyes of 337 patients (ages 8-88 years) with high myopia (refractive error ≤ -6.0 D) presenting to the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were studied retrospectively. All patients unde...

Clobetasol benefits to control psoriasis lesions are well defined, but there were not studies about its action when used in lacquer vehicle to control skin lesions. A double-blind study was conducted with 40 patients that utilized clobetasol 0.05% in one hemibody and just the vehicle in the other hemibody. Twenty of them used petrolatum as vehicle and the others used lacquer. An assessment was ...

A new, quick and inexpensive method of precision varnishing of metal microelectrodes is proposed. The circle surface pellicle of dried lacquer produced around the tip promotes microelectrode preparation.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the choroidal thickness of patients with high myopia using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and compare them with healthy subjects. METHODS We first conducted a cross-sectional study and then performed a meta-analysis to address this issue further. Using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OC...
