OBJECTIVE To quantitatively investigate the ultrasound biomicroscopic features of eyes with asymmetric narrowing of the iridocorneal angles. METHODS Asymmetric angles were defined as those differing by 2 or more Shaffer grades between the superior and inferior angles. We performed ultrasound biomicroscopy on 18 eyes in 18 patients. Measurements of the following were made: the angle recess are...

In the title compound, C(20)H(19)FN(6)S, the pyrazole ring has an envelope conformation, with the methine C atom being the flap atom. The dihedral angle between the least-squares plane through the pyrazole and triazole rings is 7.59 (9)°, and the triazole and attached benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 74.79 (9)°. The thio-urea group is coplanar with the pyrazole ring [N-N-C-S torsion angle ...

Tropospheric ozone, derived from the Scan-Angle Method (SAM) and the Convective Cloud Differential (CCD) method, exhibits a noticeable abundance over the South Atlantic, where it is associated with biomass-burning in the austral spring. This feature is also seen in the distribution of carbon monoxide observed from Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT). In the boreal burning seas...

Let S be a set of n points in Rd and let t > 1 be a real number. A graph G = (S,E) is called a t-spanner for S, if for any two points p and q in S, the shortest-path distance in G between p and q is at most t|pq|, where |pq| denotes the Euclidean distance between p and q. The graph G is called θ-angle-constrained, if any two distinct edges sharing an endpoint make an angle of at least θ. It is ...

The structure of the title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(14)N(3)S(2))(2)]·H(2)O, has one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, along with a solvent water mol-ecule. The two different Schiff base moieties coordinate to the central Ni(II) ion as tridentate N,N',S-chelating ligands, creating a six-coordinate distorted octa-hedral environment [the smallest angle being 77.43 (7)° and the widest angle being 169.9...

In orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, an accurate antero-posterior measurement of jaw relationships is critically important. Previously described angular and linear measurements can be inaccurate because of their dependency on various factors. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new cephalometric measurement, named the W angle, to assess the sagittal relationship between max...

The double angle theorems of Davis and Kahan bound the change in an invariant subspace when a Hermitian matrix A is subject to an additive perturbation A → Ã = A+1A. This paper supplies analogous results when A is subject to a congruential, or multiplicative, perturbation A → Ã = D∗AD. The relative gaps that appear in the bounds involve the spectrum of only one matrix, either A or Ã, in contras...

Optical characteristics and construction of a focusing device for collecting low-energy n-mesons in a solid angle of about 4nsr are considered. The focusing device is an axially-symmetric magnetic lens with magnetic field of ~ 100 kOe and pulsating current of ~ 1.4 MA. Parameters of a supply system operating at several hertz rate are given. At area of 100 cm 2 in the focus plane of the system t...

abstract introduction: this study was aimed at assessing the effect of a new thoracolumbar orthosis on patients with scheuermann's kyphosis referred to iran medical university of tehran in collaboration with a clinic of technical ortopedea in isfahan. material and method: this new version of orthosis had a dynamic system as compared to previous ones which enabled the spine to extend. a question...
