Micro mixer with fast diffusion [PDF]
A concept for micromixing of liquid is introduced, and its feasibility is demonstrated. The mixer allows fast mixing of small amounts of two liquids and is applicable to microliquid handling systems.

Three-compartment body composition changes in elite rugby league players during a super league season, measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. [PDF]
This study investigated the acute changes in body composition that occur over the course of a competitive season in elite rugby league players. Twenty elite senior players from an English Super League rugby league team underwent a total-body dual-energy ...

Improved precision with Hologic Apex software. [PDF]
UnlabelledThe precision of Hologic Apex v2.0 analysis software is significantly improved from Hologic Delphi v11.2 software and is comparable to GE Lunar Prodigy v7.5 software. Apex and Delphi precisions were, respectively, 1.0% vs. 1.2% (L1-L4 spine), 1.

Is There an Effect of Patient’s Age, Weight, Height and Body Mass Index on Positioning Errors During Scan Acquisition of Dual X-ray Absorptiometry? [PDF]
Objective: Patient positioning during dual energy X-ray absorptiometry examination is important in assessing bone mineral density. While the role of the technician is considered important on correct positioning, the effect of the patient characteristics

Measurement of bone quality in growing male rats using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and bone ash content : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Growing male rats have been considered and used as a model for bone growth and prevention of osteoporosis because of their high bone turnover and demand for calcium. Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is a useful tool for identifying minimal changes
