    Lump detection in simulated human breasts

    Sixteen observers palpated silicone models of human breasts containing lumps 1.6-12.1 mm in diameter. Detectability depended on the size of the lump, producing a systematic psychometric function. In eight obse...

    High Resolution Observation of Void Motion in Passivated Metal Lines Under Electromigration Stress

    Using a 120 kV STEM equipped with a backscattered electron detector and operated as a conventional SEM. voids in metal lines can be detected through 1 μm of passivation. By applying current to passivated thin met...

    Diesel exhaust modulates ozone-induced lung function decrements in healthy human volunteers

    The potential effects of combinations of dilute whole diesel exhaust (DE) and ozone (O3), each a common component of ambient airborne pollutant mixtures, on lung function were examined. Healthy young human volunt...
