We have measured broadband optical BVR 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 i...

Main outcome measures Variables that were measured in this study were as follows: 1) Inclination of STJ AoR in the sagittal plane measured by radiographic images (Median MDXP-40 Inc, Korea) of the foot in the sagittal plane. In order to collect radiological images of the foot, subjects stood with a tandem position and the STJ was placed in neutral position. Sagittal plane inclination of the STJ...

In the paper, we generalize a two-action (yes-no) model of influence to a framework in which every player has a continuum of actions and he has to choose one of them. We assume the set of actions to be an interval. Each player has an inclination to choose one of the actions. Due to influence among players, the final decision of a player, i.e., his choice of one action, may be different from his...

Tripping over obstacles has been reported as one of the most frequent causes of falls in the elderly. Maintenance of the body's balance and precise swing foot control is essential for successful obstacle-crossing. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the height and age effects on the center of mass (COM) and center of pressure (COP) inclination angles and angular velocities during obst...

BACKGROUND One of the reasons women with macromastia chose to undergo a breast reduction is to relieve their complaints of back, neck, and shoulder pain. We hypothesized that changes in posture after surgery may be the reason for the pain relief and that patient posture may correlate with symptomatic macromastia and may serve as an objective measure for complaints. The purpose of our study was ...

In the paper, a yes-no model of influence is generalized to a multi-choice framework. We introduce and study weighted influence indices of a coalition on a player in a social network, where players have an ordered set of possible actions. Each player has an inclination to choose one of the actions. Due to influence of a coalition of other players, a final decision of the player may be different...

We generalize a two-action (yes-no) model of influence to a framework in which every player has a continuum of actions, among which he has to choose one. We assume the set of actions to be an interval. Each player has an inclination to choose one of the actions. Due to influence among players, the final decision of a player, i.e., his choice of one action, may be different from his original inc...

OBJECTIVE To reassess the inclination of lower incisors and evaluate possible associations with gender, age, symphyseal parameters, and skeletal pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve hundred and seventy-two (605 females, 667 males) cephalograms of untreated subjects of a craniofacial growth study (age: 8-16 years) were evaluated. Correlations between the angulation of the lower incisors and a...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of anterior pelvic tilt taping (APTT) on the anterior inclination of the pelvis when Kinesio tape (KT) was applied to the erector spinae and the internal oblique, which are involved in anterior pelvic tilt. [Subjects] Forty asymptomatic adults (twenty-three males and seventeen females) agreed to participate in this experiment. [M...
