Download or read book Agache s Measuring the Skin written by Philippe Humbert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-26 with total page 1702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of this book was published in 2004, to much acclaim, the pace of innovation in the field of skin metrology has increased and various new technologies have become available. This new, revised edition reflects these advances by presenting the current theory and practice of noninvasive investigation and measurement of the skin and its appendices in health and disease. The first, extensive part of this authoritative work is devoted to the physiology and metrology of the various structural components of the skin. Skin functions and their measurement are then discussed in detail, with sections on mechanical protection, photoprotection, barrier function, immune function, thermoregulation, and sensory function. In addition, careful consideration is given to skin disease rating and skin maps, and a unique list of physical and biological constants and units is provided. Not only is this new edition the first comprehensive, practical handbook in this domain – it will also serve as a manual of skin physiology and collates anatomical, functional, and physical quantitative data that would otherwise be arduous to retrieve because of their dispersal throughout the literature. It will prove a valuable resource for dermatologists, cosmetologists, bioengineers, physiologists, pharmacists, and all others who deal with the skin in their work.

Download or read book Balance for Measuring Skin Friction in the Presence of Ablation written by James R. Bruno and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a skin-friction balance that is presently being used to measure shear stresses acting on the wall of an ablative duct. Tests have been conducted in the 3 Megawatt Arc Tunnel with a Mach number of 3, a stagnation enthalpy of 3000 BTU/lb, and a stagnation pressure of 20 atmospheres. The balance is a direct deflection measuring device in that balance arm rotation is measured with a linear variable differential transformer as the balance arm deflects due to shear loads acting on the end of the balance arm.

A successful test was performed in the NAVSURFWPNCEN Boundary Layer Channel using these aluminum test samples.
Download or read book Balance for Measuring Skin Friction in the Presence of Heat Transfer written by James R. Bruno and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a skin-friction balance to be used in a wind tunnel with heat-transfer conditions is described. The balance is a null-type device with a floating head element whose temperature can be maintained between 100K and 345K. This is accomplished with a cooled or heated jacket that is placed in direct contact with the friction element. At the desired element temperature the jacket is separated from the element and the shear-force data is taken. The balance was used in a Mach 5 supersonic flow with moderate heat-transfer rates. Shear forces ranging from 0.05 gm/sq cm to 1 gm/sq cm have been measured and higher ranges can be obtained by simply changing a coil spring. (Author).

Download or read book Skin Barrier written by Hans Schaefer and published by S. Karger AG (Switzerland). This book was released on 1996 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skin Barrier is the first book to be written exclusively by researchers for researchers as a convenient desktop reference. It focuses on several key aspects of the skin barrier including composition and structure and a description of the properties governing the diffusion of compounds across the skin. Although there has been a large number of laboratories involved in measuring percutaneous absorption over the past 15 to 20 years, it is only recently that there has been a general consensus in the scientific community regarding the development of standard protocols. Recognizing the importance of this, the authors have included two chapters detailing the protocol used in measuring and predicting percutaneous absorption and a discussion on the practical application of these techniques to solve associated problems. In order to provide the researcher and especially the student with access to more detailed information, the book features a comprehensive listing of references published over the past 10 years. Skin Barrier is the only desktop reference for dermatologists, cosmetologists, biochemists, biologists, and those in the pharmaceutics industry, who need detailed and accurate information about the skin barrier on a daily basis. No R & D department should be without a copy.
Download or read book Measuring Psychological Responses To Media Messages written by Annie Lang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterized by its multi-level interdisciplinary character, communication has become a variable field -- one in which the level of analysis varies. This has had important ramifications for the study of communication because, to some extent, the questions one asks are determined by the methods one has available to answer them. As a result, communication research is characterized by the plethora of both qualitative and quantitative approaches used by its practitioners. These include survey and experimental methods, and content, historical, and rhetorical analyses. A variety of tools has been developed in cognitive psychology and psychophysiology which attempts to measure "thinking" without asking people how they do it. This book is devoted to exploring how these methods might be used to further knowledge about the process of communication. The methods chosen have all been used extensively in cognitive and experimental psychology. Each chapter in this book is designed to describe the history of the method being introduced, the theory behind it, how to go about using it, and how it has already been used to study some area of communication. The methods introduced here vary widely in terms of the amount of equipment and training needed to use them. Some require only theoretical knowledge and a paper and pencil; others require more elaborate hardware and software for implementation. These methods also vary widely in terms of what sorts of variables they can be used to measure. Some of them adapt quite readily to traditional communication variables like persuasion, attitude change, and knowledge; others are more applicable to process type variables such as attention, arousal, involvement, encoding, and retrieval.
Download or read book Measuring Time written by Helon Habila and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mamo and LaMamo are twin brothers living in the small Nigerian village of Keti, where their domineering father controls their lives. With high hopes the twins attempt to flee from home, but only LaMamo escapes successfully and is able to live their dream of becoming a soldier who meets beautiful women. Mamo, the sickly, awkward twin, is doomed to remain in the village with his father. Gradually he comes out of his father's shadow and gains local fame as a historian, and, using Plutarch's Parallel Lives as his model, he embarks on the ambitious project of writing a "true" history of his people. But when the rains fail and famine rages, religious zealots incite the people to violence--and LaMamo returns to fight the enemy at home. A novel of ardent loyalty, encroaching modernity, political desire, and personal liberation, Measuring Time is a heart-wrenching history of Nigeria, portrayed through the eyes of a single family.
