STANDARDIZATION OF COLORIMETRY IN MEDICAL PHOTOGRAPHY. ORIGINAL RESEARCH.

Background. For many medical specialties, photography is a routine element of work. Environmental factors equally and significantly influence the interpretation of color light perception and the quality of photographic recording. Standardization of medical photography conditions is necessary for subsequent quantitative assessment of the skin scar by analyzing color coordinates in the RGB system. The goal is to determine the influence of lighting conditions and shooting distance on color coordinates when studying unaltered skin. Methods. The study involved five volunteers with no declared skin diseases and no cosmetics applied to their facial skin. Fitzpatrick skin type II - III. Digital photography was carried out using a mobile device camera at a distance of 30 cm from the subject. For each, a series of digital photographs were taken at a distance of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 cm from the light source. Color coordinates in the RGB system were measured in the digital graphics editor Adobe Photoshop CS6. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was carried out using Microsoft Office Excel 2019, Phyton 3.11. Results. Analysis of variance using the ANOVA method was used as a statistical analysis method. In order to determine the statistically significant difference between the sets, the Tukey HSD test was performed. A total of 1764 coordinates of three colors were subjected to statistical analysis (R = 588, G = 588, B = 588). When constructing a heat map of the cross-correlation of the absolute values of each color at each distance, taking into account the type of light source among themselves, the data had a strong direct correlation, regardless of the study area. When constructing a linear graph, the coordinates of any of the zones were located on the same straight line. Conclusion. Photography conditions were experimentally determined under which the color interpretation of light is constant. The results of the study should be taken into account during medical photography and subsequent color assessment of skin scars.

Analytical and geometric interpretation of the flat arrangement of points by means of metric geometry in the study of metric spaces

Abstract When studying metric spaces, students of higher education often have difficulties with understanding the basic concepts and properties of these spaces. This, to a large extent, is a consequence of the significant level of formalization of such concepts on the one hand, and the preservation of the corresponding formulations and names familiar to students from a school mathematics course. To overcome these difficulties, it is advisable to use methods of geometric interpretation and visualization of these properties. At the same time, it is appropriate to use elements of metric geometry. Its methods make it possible to interpret the geometric features of the mutual placement of points of metric space in Cartesian (rectangular) coordinate systems, which are familiar to students of higher education. Moreover, it becomes possible to visualize these features with the help of graphic editors, since they, as a rule, use numerical values of the coordinates of points to visualize them. Based on the definition of an angle as an ordered trio of points of an arbitrary metric space, and the angular characteristic of this angle, the fact of the flat placement of four points of a non-Euclidean metric space is established, and examples of digital visualization of this arrangement using the dynamic geometric environment GeoGebra 3D are given.

Alinhamento toraco-lombo-pélvico em adolescentes que frequentam aulas de balé clássico

This study aimed to assess factors associated with altered thoraco-lumbo-pelvic alignment among adolescents who attend classical ballet class. 57 adolescents were distributed into a case group formed by student ballet dancers with altered thoraco-lumbo-pelvic alignment and a control group formed by student ballet dancers with neutral alignment. The adolescents were subjected to an anthropometric and postural evaluation (photographic record of posture in the lateral view analysed using the vector graphics editor software Corel Draw 3), abdominal muscle strength test and questionnaire. The practice of ballet through Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD) method was 10.47 times more likely to be associated with altered thoraco-lumbo-pelvic alignment than the practice through Vaganova method in adolescents, and muscle strengthening was 6.23 times more likely to be associated with altered alignment when controlling for the other study variables. RAD method combined with muscle strengthening was associated with altered thoraco-lumbo-pelvic alignments among adolescents who showed weak or normal abdominal muscle strength, performed another physical activity, danced ballet for five years or less, had a weekly training load over three hours and usually slept in the prone position. The practice of ballet by the RAD method, in addition to the practice of muscle strengthening, was a factor associated with altered thoraco-lumbar-pelvic alignment.

Геометрическая модель главного корпуса Ивановской ТЭЦ-2 в ПВК Ansys

Modeling of the heat-air regime in the main body of the TPP in the scientific and technical literature is given insufficient attention. To simulate the heat-air regime in the main building of a thermal power plant, it is necessary to develop a geometric model of the boiler-turbine shop. A mathematical model of the heat-air regime in the main building of the TPP will allow us to develop energy-saving measures and improve the microclimate in the premises of the plant. The study has been carried out using mathematical modeling methods based on the DesignModeler graphic editor in ANSYS software. A geometric model of the boiler-turbine shop of Ivanovo combined heat and power plant-2 (CHPP-2) has been developed. It allows us to develop a mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in the air space of the main building of the plant. The three-dimensional geometric model of Ivanovo CHPP-2 is the first stage of the development of an integrated mathematical model of the heat-air regime of the main building. Its aim is to evaluate measures that reduce consumption of thermal and electrical energy for the in-house needs.

On fire risk reduction when operating individual households

The article aims to elaborate a technical means for reducing fire occurrence in internal electrical networks of individual households. General scientific methods of numerical analysis, electric circuit theory, and prediction theory were used. It was determined that the operating mode of the electric network under study is characterized by a significant unbalanced power consumption due to the asymmetry and non-sinusoidality of phase currents caused by the occurrence of additional symmetrical components of forward, reverse, and zero sequences. Additional heat losses increase significantly and lead to overheating of the neutral conductor, thus intensifying fire risks. On the basis of measurements and the authors’ software, a simulation modeling of integration of the developed balancing device into the investigated network was carried out. The conducted analysis found that the developed device can reduce additional heat losses and fire risks by over 90%. Using statistical methods of forecasting, regression analysis in particular, a preventive long-term assessment of the level of additional power losses was conducted. Autoregressive equations for predicting the parameter of additional power losses at a certain probability level were derived. MATLAB graphic editor technologies and Excel software were used to visualize changes in the studied indicators. The results can be used by construction companies when designing the internal electrical network of individual households, as well as for researchers developing approaches to reducing additional losses of electrical energy.

Application of AutoCAD and KOMPAS graphic editors

In this article, on the example of two graphics programs AutoCAD and KOMPAS, we tried to identify the most convenient computer graphics program for work. Most teachers prefer the interactive (computer) type of teaching. Interactive learning is much more effective than traditional learning. The success of interactive learning can mainly depend on the teacher and the level of interest of the students themselves. The article provides a comparative analysis of these programs and shows that these programs are indispensable when performing 3D modeling tasks. When the scale is reduced, changes occur in the Compass 3D program: for example, when creating a basic shape on a plane, the sketch parameters change. And when changing the coordinate axes in AutoCAD, it becomes difficult to draw figures such as parallelepipeds, cylinders, cones, etc. In AutoCAD, once you are familiar with the panel tools and have knowledge of descriptive geometry, you can easily begin drawing an axonometric image. The operation is also considered in the Compass program, since in this program there are no repetitions of the contour boundaries.

3D modelling of subsurface ancient volcanic successions: a workflow developed during regional reconstructions of the Cowal Igneous Complex in the Ordovician Macquarie Arc of NSW, Australia

Mineral deposits are commonly associated with and hosted in volcanic successions. Volcanic facies analysis as applied in mineral exploration is powerful for characterising host stratigraphy to understand volcanological and eruption processes, depositional setting, and tectonic processes before, during and after ore-forming events. However, the specialist experience required in studying ancient, deformed successions impedes the uptake of facies analysis as a routinely applied technique in mineral exploration. This challenge is reflected in the literature with a paucity of examples where 3D models are developed directly from facies analysis and is worth addressing, as stratigraphic approaches are commonly inadequate for understanding and modelling the complexities within ancient volcanic terrains. We address this gap by demonstrating a technique that uses digitised graphic logs to construct correlation charts in a graphics editor to interpret ‘restored’ volcanic successions within fault blocks. This approach is validated with concurrent cross-sections that depict the structural-stratigraphic framework. The work is iteratively revised until the interpretation is internally consistent across both the correlation chart and the cross-section. This technique is presented within a four-phase workflow that guides the reader from initial scoping, through to graphic logging, interpretation of volcanic successions by locality (or fault block) and finally a synthesis and 3D model. This workflow was developed from our experiences in the buried and deformed Ordovician Cowal Igneous Complex that hosts world-class gold deposits that are currently being mined at E42 (open pit) and GRE46 (underground mine). A case study of the Cowal Igneous Complex is presented to demonstrate the value and real-world application of this workflow.

CineMol: a programmatically accessible direct-to-SVG 3D small molecule drawer

Effective visualization of small molecules is paramount in conveying concepts and results in cheminformatics. Scalable vector graphics (SVG) are preferred for creating such visualizations, as SVGs can be easily altered in post-production and exported to other formats. A wide spectrum of software applications already exist that can visualize molecules, and customize these visualizations, in many ways. However, software packages that can output projected 3D models onto a 2D canvas directly as SVG, while being programmatically accessible from Python, are lacking. Here, we introduce CineMol, which can draw vectorized approximations of three-dimensional small molecule models in seconds, without triangulation or ray tracing, resulting in files of around 50–300 kilobytes per molecule model for compounds with up to 45 heavy atoms. The SVGs outputted by CineMol can be readily modified in popular vector graphics editing software applications. CineMol is written in Python and can be incorporated into any existing Python cheminformatics workflow, as it only depends on native Python libraries. CineMol also provides programmatic access to all its internal states, allowing for per-atom and per-bond-based customization. CineMol’s capacity to programmatically create molecular visualizations suitable for post-production offers researchers and scientists a powerful tool for enhancing the clarity and visual impact of their scientific presentations and publications in cheminformatics, metabolomics, and related scientific disciplines.Scientific contributionWe introduce CineMol, a Python-based tool that provides a valuable solution for cheminformatics researchers by enabling the direct generation of high-quality approximations of two-dimensional SVG visualizations from three-dimensional small molecule models, all within a programmable Python framework. CineMol offers a unique combination of speed, efficiency, and accessibility, making it an indispensable tool for researchers in cheminformatics, especially when working with SVG visualizations.

Design and Construction of Batik Drawing Machine with an Arduino-based CNC System

Technology continues to develop, especially in the world of manufacturing. Processes done manually by humans are replaced gradually by machines through automation. This paper proposes a batik drawing machine with Arduino-based computer numerical control (CNC). The intention is to reduce the production of small-sized batik products by eliminating the sketching process of the batik design on the fabric. Besides, the expertise in using canting, a pen-like tool, to apply the liquid wax on the fabric will not be required. A prototype of a batik drawing machine was designed and constructed using main components such as Arduino Mega 2560, NEMA17 HS4401 stepper motor, and RAMPS 1.4 controller board. The batik design data is to be prepared by using a graphic editor, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. After several trials, the best setting for the canting temperature was found to be 112 °C with a drawing speed of 25 steps/mm and a 3 mm distance between the cloth and the tip of the canting. Three batik designs with different difficulty levels were tested for fabric printing. The fabrics were colored to obtain the final results. The batik products with a diameter of up to 450 mm can be finished satisfactorily

Improvement of forensic medical diagnosis of projectile type injuries from automatic firearm chambered in 5.45 mm caliber through spatial 3D modeling

Spatial 3D modeling has become one of the modern and most accurate evidential methods of research, carving out its niche in various fields of medical science and practice. Therefore, our focus has been on laying the groundwork for its implementation in the process of conducting forensic medical examinations of gunshot injuries, which have garnered significant attention from all forensic physicians, particularly after unprovoked aggression from Russia and the onset of active hostilities in our country. The aim of the study was to improve the forensic medical diagnosis of projectile type in injuries from automatic firearm AKS-74U chambered in 5.45x39 mm caliber by utilizing spatial 3D modeling of specific elements within the wound channel. The entire series of experimental shots was conducted using an AKS-74U firearm, with a bullet caliber of 5.45x39 mm. As the research material, Roma Plastilina Number 1 ballistic clay, manufactured in the USA, was used for conducting standardized ballistic tests according to NIJ (National Institute of Justice) and HOSDB (Home Office Scientific Development Branch) standards. The series of experiments consisted of 15 gunshots; then the physical characteristics of the bullet, main morphological elements of the wound of skin and different portions of wound channel were investigated (195 measurements in general). The morphological features of individual elements within the wound channel were measured using conventional measurement tools, and also after their 3D modeling using graphic editors such as "Agisoft Photoscan" and "3ds max." Direct and strong correlations (ranging from 0.60 to 0.72) have been established between the initial velocity, kinetic energy, specific energy of bullet, and the diameter of the entry wound in 3D modeling, as well as the diameters of the wound channel in its central portion, measured both by conventional measuring tools and based on the results of their 3D modeling (р=0,02). Furthermore, inverse correlation relationships of moderate strength (ranging from -0.63 to -0.66) have been detected between the initial velocity, kinetic energy, specific energy, and the presence of abrasion collar around the entry wound (р=0,03). The created conditions allow to conduct the differentiation in diagnosing the type of projectile, the identification and study of new characteristics of key elements in firearm-related injuries, and improvement in measurement accuracy. They also enhance clarity and objectivity during the execution of forensic medical examinations in cases of combat-related firearm injuries.
