The Edinburgh position – A simple method

A Simple, Artistic and Efficient Modification of the Inversion Method

     The simplest and fastest way of producing an acceptable and accurate cast is by adopting the two-pour or inversion method. This process is slightly cumbersome and messy due to difficulty of access. A much more efficient, easy and artistic way of accomplishing it is described by adopting a Rotating Cake Icing Table with a Silicone Baking Mat on top as an autoclavable non-stick barrier.

A Simple Transformation Method in Skewness Reduction

Statistical analysis of non-normal data is usually more complicated than that for normaldistribution. In this paper, a simple root/power transformation technique developed by Niaki, et al [1]is extended to transform right and left skewed distributions to nearly normal. The value of theroot/power is explored such that the skewness of the transformed data becomes almost zero with anacceptable err...

A Simple Method to Improve Hazelnut Grafting

Hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. However, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. Grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. Unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. Here, we report the hypo...

The anal position index: a simple method to define the normal position of the anus in neonate.

AIM The purpose of this study was to determine the normal position of anus using anal position index (API) and the modified measurement method and to emphasize the importance of ectopic anus. This cross-sectional study was performed on 400 neonates equally, boys and girls who were all delivered at full term without any malformations. Anal position index, which is the ratio of anus-fourchette di...
