PM283 International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Harmonizing and National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP III) Definition for Metabolic Syndrome: Which of These Criteria Best Captures the Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Among Filipino Women?

Lasers find wide application in surface engineering due to their precision of operation, short processing time, and low cost. Laser surface treatment involves solid heating and phase change at the irradiated surface. Since the process is involved with high temperature and small size of the irradiated spot, experimentation of the heating process is difficult and expensive. The model studies offer physical insight into the heating process, which...
