| layer thickness in rotational panoramic radiography: some specific aspects. | it is customary to define the thickness of the image layer in rotational panoramic radiography along the central ray of the x-ray beam. this results in calculated values which overestimate its thickness, especially in regions where the central ray deviates markedly from orthogonality. a supplementary definition is proposed which considers layer thickness in a direction perpendicular to the central plane of the image layer. this provides values which may be more easily related to the thickness of ... | 2009 | 2637877 |
| evidence for subgroups of adextrals based on speech lateralization and cognitive patterns. | some non-right-handers may prefer the left hand by virtue of well-organized or high levels of spatial ability, vested primarily in the right hemisphere, rather than as a result of anomalous speech representation. this study tested the hypothesis that adextral (left-handed or ambidextrous) individuals with high spatial ability might have cerebral speech lateralization patterns similar to dextrals. paper-and-pencil tests of various cognitive abilities, a verbal dichotic listening task, and a hande ... | 2009 | 2771036 |
| enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for measuring antithrombin iii. | a competitive elisa for the measurement of antithrombin iii antigen was developed using a pure preparation of antithrombin. this two step immunoassay requires only one antibody binding step and avoids the binding of anti-antithrombin antibody to the solid phase. plasma samples measured by this elisa correlated well with measurements taken with immune electrophoresis measurements (r = 0.933); the elisa was also shown to be both sensitive and precise. | 2009 | 2794088 |
| development and use of asbestos risk estimates. | several groups of researchers, at the request of government agencies in various countries, have reviewed the literature on the health effects of asbestos exposure and derived quantitative estimates of the risks from such exposures. because of differences in the area of responsibility of the different agencies, these estimates have inevitably been based on different assumptions concerning exposure (concentration, number of years of exposure, initial age, and number of hours per week). the lifetim ... | 2009 | 2744842 |
| reticulospinal neurons, locomotor control and the development of tailswimming in xenopus. | the development of early swimming in xenopus occurs early during the embryonic period and within a few hours. between stages 25 and 33 the central nervous system reaches a state of 'critical mass' at which the for swimming necessary body structures have partly developed, thus enabling the embryo to move through the water. the pattern of undulatory body movements is formed within the pattern generators in the central nervous system (cns) involving different types of neurons in the spinal cord and ... | 2009 | 3077003 |
