Resonance-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy was used to increase the elemental sensitivity of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. In resonance-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, two lasers are used. The first laser creates a plasma, and the second laser re excites the most …

De Nd: YAG Q-switched laser staat niet bekend als zijnde een laserontharingsapparaat. De fabrikant, Hoya ConBio, heeft echter aangegeven dat definitief ontharen wel tot zijn mogelijkheden behoort. Het Esthetisch Medisch Centrum, gevestigd in het Tergooiziekenhuis te Hilversum, heeft het advies van de …

Striae zijn littekens in de subcutis. Deze komen vaak voor in de groei tijdens de puberteit, zwangerschap, overgewicht en door gebruik van steroïden. Fractionele lasers richten zich op het chromofoor water in de huid. Bij de genezing wordt collageen aangemaakt, zodat de striae minder zichtbaar wordt. …

Vanuit, met name de hobbymarkt, is er vraag naar het 3D-inscannen van producten in combinatie met CNC-freesbanken. Hiervoor bestaan dure complexe systemen die voor hobbyisten vanwege de prijs niet interessant zijn. Deze systemen komen vaak ook samen met ingewikkelde software waarbij na de meting nog …

Synthetic fibers, mainly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polypropylene (PP), are the most widely used polymers in the textile industry. These fibers surpass the production of natural fibers with a market share of 54.4%. The advantages of these fibers are …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a fast and reliable method for the identification of bacteria from agar media. Direct identification from positive blood cultures should decrease the time to obtaining the result. In this study, three different …

BACKGROUND: Burn survivors are frequently faced with disfiguring scars. Various techniques exist to improve scar appearance, such as laser treatment and dermabrasion. Next to that, surgical reconstruction, such as scar excision is an option. This randomized controlled trial investigates whether a larger …

Suitable biomarkers associated with the development of delirium are still not known. Urinary proteomics has successfully been applied to identify novel biomarkers associated with various disease states, but its value has not been investigated in delirium patients. In a prospective explorative study hyperactive …

Rational exportations warrant a multitude of sophisticated homework done in advance in an enterprise's homeland as prerequisite before the conscientious companies could embark on their discrepant exportation efforts. This report expounded hereinafter aims to furnish the author's internship assignment …

Laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) has been proven to be a useful tool in predicting the burn wound outcome in an early stage. A major disadvantage of scanning beam LDPI devices is their slow scanning speed, leading to patient discomfort and imaging artifacts. We have developed the Twente Optical …
