Open AccessArtificial intelligence in detecting temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis on orthopantomogram
Orthopantomogram (OPG) is important for primary diagnosis of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), because of cost and the radiation associated with computed tomograms (CT). The aims of this study we...

Robust defect detection method for a non-periodic TFT-LCD pad area
In this work, we propose an effective inline inspection method for non-repeating patterns on TFT-LCDs which can be quickly applied to current manufacturing processes and easily automated. Given that the TFT-LC...

Preparation of phytoncide-emitting nylon/PP sheath/core fiber and the release profile of phytoncide
Phytoncide, a volatile essential oil produced by plants and trees, has not only anti-microbial activity, but also a stress relieving effect. We prepared a sheath/core type melt-spun fiber that releases phytonc...
