[1] Large, clockwise, vertical axis tectonic rotations of the Hikurangi margin, East Coast, New Zealand, have been inferred over both geological and contemporary timescales, from paleomagnetic and geodetic data, respectively. Previous interpretations of paleomagnetic data have laterally divided the margin into independently rotating domains; this is not a feature of the short-term velocity fiel...

Introduction: The measurement precision of jaw is important for surgery or installing implants. Preimplant radiographs are important part of clinical evaluations before implant surgery. For choosing location, we should consider the important anatomical structures like mental foramen, inferior alveolar canal, nasal cavity and maxillary sinus.It is important to know the measurement accuracy of ra...

Background There are a lot of techniques to obturate the root canals, but lateral condensation of gutta-percha is the most used one. An important aspect of thermafil is the error margin tolerated by the manufacturer in the production of plastic carriers. In literature, there is no evidence about discrepancy percentage between different carriers. It is demonstrated that the error margin of gutta...

14 We report analyses of a dataset spanning 38 years of near-annual fishing for Antarctic toothfish 15 Dissostichus mawsoni, using a vertical setline through the fast ice of McMurdo Sound, 16 Antarctica, 1972-2010. This constitutes one of the longest biological time series in the Southern 17 Ocean, and certainly the longest for any fish. Fish total length, condition and catch per unit 18 effort...

The visual acuities of 36 young amblyopes were determined by (a) conventional recognition tests (near and distance) and (b) an adapted grating acuity card procedure. Considerable agreement between the estimates of acuity obtained with each method was demonstrated, which was generally less than, or equal to, the mean difference between adjacent Snellen lines (4.5 c deg-1). Estimates of grating a...

PURPOSE To investigate the difference between two-dimensionally measured disc diameters (DDs) based on fundus images and three-dimensionally measured DDs based on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). METHODS The DDs were three-dimensionally measured on EDI-OCT images of optic nerve heads and two-dimensionally measured on near-infrared reflectance fundus images in 90 ...
