ETHYL GLUCURONIDE IN HUMAN HAIR [PDF]
Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is considered to be a promising candidate marker of alcohol consumption, but exhibits a short window of detection in blood or urine. Keratinized tissues are known to retain foreign substances and to provide a greater retrospective window of detection than body fluids.

Biology of human hair: Know your hair to control it [PDF]
Hair can be engineered at different levels—its structure and surface—through modification of its constituent molecules, in particular proteins, but also the hair follicle (HF) can be genetically altered, in particular with the advent of siRNA-based ...

Prednisone Concentrations in Human Hair [PDF]
In 1999, France passed a law against doping, the so-called Loi Buffet. This law was designated to protect athletes against doping consequences, particularly after long-term abuse. In 2001, this law was implemented with its practical aspects. Among them, hair sampling to document chronic exposure was considered as a valid procedure.

Diffusion of coloured silica nanoparticles into human hair [PDF]
A novel method for dyeing human hair fibres using coloured silica nanoparticles of 206 nm has been developed. Diffusion of coloured silica nanoparticles into hair fibres has been investigated; silica nanoparticles do not penetrate at all, or do so only

All Sites but Skin Cancer Incidences Analyzed Worldwide by Sex, Age, and Skin Type Over Time (1955-2007), Advancing Age, and UVB Dose Reveals Important Carcinogenic Drivers [PDF]
Because we observed increasing incidences over time, advancing age, higher estrogen levels, decreasing UVB (290-315 nm) doses, or lower vitamin D3, and Human Papillomavirus hiding in immune-privileged sites of hair follicles play roles in melanoma, we ...

Human hair keratin responds to oxidative stress via reactive sulfur and supersulfides
Keratin is a central component of human hair proteins, which explicitly possesses many cysteine residues (Cys-SH). For a long time, these Cys-SH residues were believed to contribute to human hair strength by forming intra- and inter-molecular disulfide ...

Automated Measurement of Spatially Resolved Hair-Hair Single Fiber Adhesion. [PDF]
The adhesion force between individual human hair fibers in a crosshair geometry was measured by observing their natural bending and adhesive jumps out of contact, using optical video microscopy.

Expanded Parts Model for Semantic Description of Humans in Still Images [PDF]
We introduce an Expanded Parts Model (EPM) for recognizing human attributes (e.g. young, short hair, wearing suit) and actions (e.g. running, jumping) in still images.
