: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between iris thickness (IT) and choroidal thickness (CT) in healthy subjects.: Forty-five healthy participants (24 women, 21 men) aged 18-62 years were included in the study. The iris thickness was measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). The iris thickness was measured at 750 μm (IT750T) and 2000 μm (IT2000T) from the temporal scleral spur. The iris thickness was measured at 750 μm (IT750N) and 2000 μm (IT2000N) from the nasal scleral spur. Choroidal thickness was measured by optical coherence tomography. Choroid thickness was measured at 750 μm (CT750N, CT750T) and 2000 μm (CT2000N, CT2000T) from the center of the fovea on both the nasal and temporal sides.: There were significant correlations between CT750T and IT750T, IT750N, IT2000N ( = 0.409, =0.005; = 0.396, =0.007; = 0.329, =0.02, respectively). There were significant correlations between CT2000T and IT750T, IT750N, IT2000N ( = 0.383, =0.009; = 0.478, =0.001; = 0.331, 0=0.02, respectively).: There was a significant correlation between CT and IT thicknesses at different points.

Previous research has shown that smoking tobacco is associated with changes or differences in brain volume and cortical thickness, resulting in a smaller brain volume and decreased cortical thickness in smokers compared with non-smokers. However, the effects of smokeless tobacco on brain volume and cortical thickness remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether the use of shammah, a nicotine-containing smokeless tobacco popular in Middle Eastern countries, is associated with differences in brain volume and thickness compared with non-users and to assess the influence of shammah quantity and type on these effects.

Precision pesticide application mainly relies on canopy volume, resulting in varied application effectiveness across different density areas of orchard trees. This study examined pesticide application effectiveness based on the spray wind, canopy volume, and leaf area within the canopy, providing variable bases for precise regulation of spray wind and pesticide dosage. The study addresses the knowledge gap by utilizing laser detection and ranging (LiDAR) to measure the thickness and leaf area of orchard tree canopies.

This work aims to determine the mechanism of the photomechanical response of poly(Methyl methacrylate) polymer doped with the photo-isomerizable dye Disperse Red 1 using the non-isomerizable dye Disperse Orange 11 as a control to isolate photoisomerization. Samples are free-standing thin films with thickness that is small compared with the optical skin depth to assure uniform illumination and photomechanical response throughout their volume, which differentiates these studies from most others. Polarization-dependent measurements of the photomechanical stress response are used to deconvolute the contributions of angular hole burning, molecular reorientation and photothermal heating.

This study investigated silicone composites with distributed boron nitride platelets and carbon microfibers that are oriented electrically. The process involved homogenizing and dispersing nano/microparticles in the liquid polymer, aligning the particles with DC and AC electric fields, and curing the composite with IR radiation to trap particles within chains. This innovative concept utilized two fields to align particles, improving the even distribution of carbon microfibers among BN in the chains.

Accurately measuring the thickness of the oxide film that accumulates on nuclear fuel assemblies is critical for maintaining nuclear power plant safety. Oxide film thickness typically ranges from a few micrometers to several tens of micrometers, necessitating a high-precision measurement system. Eddy current testing (ECT) is commonly employed during poolside inspections due to its simplicity and ease of on-site implementation.
