Optical coherence tomography for patch test grading: A prospective study on its use for noninvasive diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis [PDF]
Background: The diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis should be confirmed by skin patch tests. Distinguishing between irritant and allergic reactions is sometimes difficult.

Patch test of dental materials in Oral Lichen Planus with considering the role of saliva
Lichen planus is the most common skin disease that affects the oral mucosa. Oral Lichen Planus is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disorder. In the current study, for the first time, an oral cavity condition in skin patch tests with adding saliva is ...

A control volume-based finite element method for plane micropolar elasticity [PDF]
This paper describes the development of a numerical procedure for predicting deformations and stresses in a loaded two-dimensional membrane exhibiting micropolar or Cosserat constitutive behaviour. The procedure employs a conventional finite element (FE)

Program Repair by Fuzzing over Patch and Input Space [PDF]
Fuzz testing (fuzzing) is a well-known method for exposing bugs/vulnerabilities in software systems. Popular fuzzers, such as AFL, use a biased random search over the domain of program inputs, where 100s or 1000s of inputs (test cases) are executed per second in order to expose bugs.

Non-Gaussian sampling effects on the CMB power spectrum estimation [PDF]
We introduce a non-Gaussian model of structure formation, and show how it produces surprising sampling effects on the estimation of the CMB power spectrum. Estimates of the average power spectrum based on small sky patches produce qualitatively different results from patch to patch, and vary also with the patch size.

Contact Dermatitis Due to Hair Care Products: A Comprehensive Review
Hair cosmetics are in fashion. Numerous products are commonly used in combination. Frequent allergens are present in hair cosmetics, which, with almost daily use, increase the risk of sensitization.

A numerical model of twin disc test arrangement for the evaluation of railway wheel wear prediction methods [PDF]
Twin disc tests are commonly used to study wear in railway materials. In this work the implementation of a numerical model of the twin disc arrangement is given, which reproduces the distribution of tangential forces over the contact patch between the ...

Testing Isotropic Universe Using the Gamma-Ray Burst Data of Fermi / GBM [PDF]
The sky distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) has been intensively studied by various groups for more than two decades. Most of these studies test the isotropy of GRBs based on their sky number density distribution.

Experts agree that patch test is nowadays the only validated method for the detection of contact allergy to haptens. Facing more than 5200 known haptens, starting with sensitizers most frequent in a given population seems most reasonable. Baseline series
