Reliability of Tibial Measurement with Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis
Mechanical response tissue analysis (MRTA) provides a noninvasive means of estimating the cross-sectional bending stiffness (EI) of long bones, and thus can serve as a predictor of bone strength. Estimates of bone bending stiffness are derived from the point impedance response of a long bone to low …

Evolution of Female Profile Aesthetics in Fashion Magazines Over the Last Century (1920-2019): An Orthodontic Soft-Tissue Analysis
… study aimed to assess changes in female soft-tissue facial profile aesthetics as portrayed in fashion media over the past century. A total of 1,527 profile images of female models were collected from a prominent fashion magazine, with at least one issue per year represented from 1920 to 2019. …

Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis: Inter- and Intra-trial Reliability in Assessing Bending Stiffness of the Human Tibia in College Aged Women
Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis (MRTA) is an emerging technology for assessing maximal bending stiffness (EI) of human long bones in vivo. The MRTA variable, EI, is the product of Young's modulus of elasticity (E) and cross-sectional moment of inertia (I). EI quantifies material and …

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates and Two-Spotted Spider Mite Incidence on 'Strawberry Festival' Strawberry Cultivar Performance
… fertilizer treatments on yield components, plant tissue analysis, and spider mite incidence. Nitrogen fertilizer rate had no significant effect on yield components, plant tissue analysis, or mite incidence for ‘Strawberry Festival’ strawberry grown under high tunnel production systems.</p> <p>In …

Volumetric reconstruction of tissue structure from two-dimensional microscopy images
Cell morphology of tissue is naturally three-dimensional. Most current methods for tissue analysis use two dimensional histological images of the tissue samples, restricting the analysis to 2D. Existing approaches do not provide essential three-dimensional information such as cell volume, shape and …

Breast cancer diagnosis using Fourier transform infrared imaging and statistical learning
… properties of multiple cell types in a tissue. Generally, the morphology of epithelial cells is practically used for routine disease diagnoses. Current histopathological diagnosis involves manual interpretation of stained images for patient diagnosis. This is prone to inter- observer …

Signal processing and image reconstruction for scanning tomographic acoustic microscopy
… high-resolution, real-time imaging in biomedical tissue analysis and nondestructive testing. Because of diffraction and the overlapping of depth planes, the SLAM is limited in its ability to image specimens with significant complexity in the depth direction. The Scanning Tomographic Acoustic …
