Automated identification of Monogeneans using digital image processing and K-nearest neighbour approaches.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Monogeneans are flatworms (Platyhelminthes) that are primarily found on gills and skin of fishes. Monogenean parasites have attachment appendages at their haptoral regions that help them to move about the body surface and feed on skin and...

The Design and Characterization of a Flexible Tactile Sensing Array for Robot Skin.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this study, a flexible tactile sensing array based on a capacitive mechanism was designed, fabricated, and characterized for sensitive robot skin. A device with 8 × 8 sensing units was composed of top and bottom flexible polyethyleneterephthalate ...

From binary presumptive assays to probabilistic assessments: Differentiation of shooters from non-shooters using IMS, OGSR, neural networks, and likelihood ratios.

Forensic science international
Screening tests are used in forensic science for field testing and directing laboratory analysis of physical evidence. These tests are often binary in that the data produced is interpreted as yes/no or present/absent. The utility of screening assays ...

Highly stretchable electroluminescent skin for optical signaling and tactile sensing.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Cephalopods such as octopuses have a combination of a stretchable skin and color-tuning organs to control both posture and color for visual communication and disguise. We present an electroluminescent material that is capable of large uniaxial stretc...

Support vector regression to estimate the permeability enhancement of potential transdermal enhancers.

The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology
OBJECTIVES: Searching for chemicals that will safely enhance transdermal drug delivery is a significant challenge. This study applies support vector regression (SVR) for the first time to estimating the optimal formulation design of transdermal hydro...

A Study on the Effects of Sympathetic Skin Response Parameters in Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Journal of medical systems
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), usually observed commonly in females over age 30, is a rheumatic disease accompanied by extensive chronic pain. In the diagnosis of the disease non-objective psychological tests and physiological tests and laboratory test...

Long-chain polynucleotide filler for skin rejuvenation: efficacy and complications in five patients.

Dermatologic therapy
Aging well has become the new target of preventative medicine, and aesthetic dermatology can contribute to this request. The polynucleotide (PN) containing products not only fill the space, but improve tissue regeneration, resulting in more natural t...

Hydrophilic Ionic Liquids as Ingredients of Gel-Based Dermal Formulations.

AAPS PharmSciTech
Ionic liquids (ILs) have several properties that offer many advantages in dermal drug delivery systems. Depending on the chemical structure, ILs can be used for protection against microorganisms, to enhance skin penetration, and as a solvent. In the ...

The modified tower vertical filler technique for the treatment of post-acne scarring.

The Australasian journal of dermatology
BACKGROUND: Acne scarring remains a difficult problem for patients and physicians. Often it is treated as a two-dimensional disease with lasers and similar devices, whereas it is really a three-dimensional problem. Fillers have been used for many yea...
