purposes: the aim of this study was to evaluate the intra and inter-examiner reliability and reproducibility of linear measurements in cone-beam tomography (cbct) images taken by calibrated radiologists and periodontists. materials and methods: the alveolar ridge dimensions in selected cbct images were measured by two calibrated radiologists and two periodontists. intra and inter-examiner relia...

background: radiation shielding properties is an important for a material wish can be used the photon attenuation coefficients of clay produced using different rate of boron have been measured for the purpose of radioactive waste disposal. materials and methods: the measurement has been performed using gamma spectrometer contains nai (tl) detector at the photon energies of 662, 1173 and 1332 ke...

The gold standard to assess jaundice in neonates is the serum bilirubin measurement. Blood sampling for the determination of total serum bilirubin (TSB) is painful for newborns and stressful for parents. The Bilicheck®, a new transcutaneous bilirubinometer, is considered as a more accurate measurement of bilirubin compared to the previous bilirubinometers courtesy of its advanced technology. Th...

there are several techniques in use for non-linear refractive index measurement, namely, interferometric techniques, in which conventional inter-ferometers are used, degenerate for wave mixing (dfwm), and z-scan, each of these techniques suffers from some shortcmings. for example conventional interferometers like fabry-perot and twyman-green need high quality optical components, unwanted reflec...
