a 15-landmark morphometric truss network system was used to investigate the hypothesis of population fragmentation of shad fish alosa braschnicowi borodin, 1904 along the southern caspian sea. a total of 181 a. braschnicowi specimens were caught from six localities, respectively from the west to the east including; astara, rezvanshahr, anzali, tonekabon, sari and miankale. principal component a...

PURPOSE To investigate the variability in head computed tomographic (CT) scanning in patients with hemorrhagic stroke in U.S. hospitals, its association with mortality, and the number of different physicians consulted. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was approved by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at Dartmouth College. A retrospective analysis of the Medicare fee-for-servic...

We present a robust model-based stereo head tracking algorithm that operates in real time on a commodity PC. The use of an individualized three-dimensional head model, coupled with the epipolar constraint from the stereo image pair, greatly improves the robustness of the tracking. Experimental results have shown that our method is able to track all the six degrees of freedom of the rigid part o...

BACKGROUND The genus Hoplolaimus Daday, 1905 belongs to the subfamily Hoplolaimine Filipiev, 1934 of family Hoplolaimidae Filipiev, 1934 (Krall 1990). Daday established this genus on a single female of H. tylenchiformis recovered from a mud hole on Banco Island, Paraguay in 1905 (Sher 1963​, Krall 1990). Hoplolaimus species are distributed worldwide and cause damage on numerous agricultural cro...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the effect of various head orientations during cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image acquisition on linear measurements of potential implant sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six dry human skulls with a total of 28 implant sites were evaluated for seven different head orientations. The scans were acquired using a Hitachi CB-MercuRay CBCT machine. The scanned volum...

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric on shelf life extension of shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus under chilled storage conditions by sensory (organoleptic parameters), pH, proximate and bacterial analysis. The experimental setup was grouped into six, head on (group I), head on coated with turmeric (group II), headless (group III), headless coated with turmeric (group IV...

zimmermann-laband syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by extensive gingival enlargement and abnormalities of the head, face, hands, feet, nose, and ears. hypoplastic or absent nails, mild hair loss, and mental retardation are seen in some cases. the present paper describes a patient, aged six and half years, with typical features of zimmermann-laband syndrome.
