The likelihood ratio (LR) is a probabilistic method that has been championed as a ‘simple rule’ for evaluating the probative value of forensic evidence in court. Intuitively, if the LR is greater than one then the evidence ...
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during walking
(2014-07-01)
The examination of synchronous three dimensional (3-D) kinetics and kinematics of walking in laboratory based analyses typically requires participants/patients to make foot contact with a force or pressure measuring device. ...
Validation of ultrasound measurement of the subacromial space using a novel shoulder phantom model.
(Elsevier, 2014-07-01)
Ultrasound has a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of rotator cuff tendons. Increasingly, ultrasound is being used to measure other parameters of rotator cuff pathology, including the size of the subacromial ...
Physical stabilization of low-molecular-weight amorphous drugs in the solid state : a material science approach
(2014-07)
Use of the amorphous state is considered to be one of the most effective approaches for improving the dissolution and subsequent oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However as the amorphous state has much ...
Cross-linking of collagen I by tissue transglutaminase provides a promising biomaterial for promoting bone healing
(2014-07)
Transglutaminases (TGs) stabilize proteins by the formation of ε(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-links. Here, we demonstrate that the cross-linking of collagen I (COL I) by tissue transglutaminase (TG2) causes an alteration in the ...
