Background YouTube, the online video creation and sharing site, supports both video content viewing and content creation activities. For a minority of people, the time spent engaging with YouTube can be excessive and potentially problematic. Method This study analyzed the relationship between content viewing, content creation, and YouTube addiction in a survey of 410 Indian-student YouTube user...

this paper deals with the planning of rehabilitation of spoils of asbestos mine in nw greece with the name mabe in prefecture of kozani. for this purpose a detailed ecological research has taken place in the wider area in order to estimate the prevailing environmental (site) conditions. the spoils heaps are characterized by very steep slope inclination (80-90%). in order to improve the stabilit...

This paper proposes a method to measure the inclined angle of an objective image based on the most frequent edge direction. This paper also describes a relation between the measured inclined angles by the proposal method and the visual inclined angles. An edge direction is changed according to the inclination of an objective image. The most frequent edge direction is supposed to show the global...

We develop a general method for determining the unbiased inclination distribution of the Kuiper belt using only the inclination and latitude of discovery of known Kuiper belt objects (KBOs). These two parameters are well determined for each discovered object, so we can use all 379 known KBOs (as of 2001 January 1)Èwithout knowing the objectÏs precise orbit, area, detection efficiency, or the la...

PURPOSE Prior research has demonstrated that healthcare providers' implicit biases may contribute to healthcare disparities. Independent research in social psychology indicates that facial appearance-based evaluations affect social behavior in a variety of domains, influencing political, legal, and economic decisions. Whether and to what extent these evaluations influence approach behavior in h...

Shape constancy is the ability to perceive that a shape remains the same when seen in different orientations. It has usually been measured by asking subjects to match a shape in the frontal plane with an inclined shape. But this method is subject to ambiguity. In Experiment 1 we used a canonical-shape method, which is not subject to ambiguity. Observers selected from a set of inclined trapezoid...

The articular-eminence inclination is an important element in the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint and the entire masticatory system; however, very little is known about this inclination in archaeological human populations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the values of, in addition to the differences between, the articular-eminence inclination in medieval and contem...

The present-day inclination of the Moon reflects the entire history of its thermal and orbital evolution. The Moon likely possessed a global magma ocean following the Moon-forming impact. In this work, we develop a coupled thermal-orbital evolution model that takes into account obliquity tidal heating in the lunar magma ocean. Dissipation in the magma ocean is so effective that it results in ra...

We have measured broadband optical BV R photometry of 24 Classical and Scattered Kuiper belt objects (KBOs), approximately doubling the published sample of colors for these classes of objects. We find a statistically significant correlation between object color and inclination in the Classical Kuiper belt using our data. The color and inclination correlation increases in significance after the ...
