This paper describes the design of two circular coplanar interdigital sensors with i) a spiral interdigital configuration and ii) a concentric interdigital configuration for the nondestructive evaluation of multilayered dielectric structures. A numerical model accounting for sensor geometry, test-piece geometry and real permittivity, and metal electrode thickness has been developed to calculate...

BACKGROUND Lameness represents the third most important health-related cause of economic loss in the dairy industry after fertility and mastitis. Although, dairy Mediterranean Buffaloes (MB) and dairy cows share similar breeding systems predisposing to similar herd problems, published studies exploring its relevance and role in these ruminants are still rare and incomplete. The aims of this stu...

Cytogenetic and dermatoglyphic features were studied in a large family with an inherited 15;21 translocation. Of 35 healthy members of the family, 21 carried the translocation chromosome and 14 were chromosomally normal. There were six members with Down's syndrome who had the translocation. Dermatoglyphic studies showed that carriers of this balanced translocation had the following peculiaritie...

The formation of the free digits of the chick is accompanied by conspicuous surface changes of the interdigital ectoderm. These changes were much less pronounced or absent in the duck. As early as the interdigital grooves were detected in the chick, the morphological features of the ectodermal cells changed from a polygonal shape and flattened appearance to a rounded shape and bulging appearanc...

The aim of this publication is to design a procedure for the synthesis an IDT (interdigital transducer) with diluted electrodes. paper deals surface acoustic waves (SAW) and theory asymmetrical delay line interdigital transducer authors developed theory, design, implementation proposed design. They also measured signals. analysed acoustoelectronic components SAW: PLF 13, PLR 40, PAV 44 PLO. pre...

We present the case of a 20-year-old man with the chief complaint of right foot pain for the past three years presenting with focal bony prominence at dorsomedial aspect of right mid foot with interdigital pain. MRI demonstrated a metatarsal coalition with interdigital neuroma.

In the present work, we have analysed the possible involvement of ectodermal tissue in the control of interdigital mesenchymal cell death. Two types of experiments were performed in the stages previous to the onset of interdigital cell death: removal of the AER of the interdigit; removal of the dorsal ectoderm of the interdigit. After the operation embryos were sacrificed at 10-12 h intervals a...
