Tarsal coalitions appear in 2% of the population, although for some the incidence of tarsal coalitions ranges from 0.03% to 0.38%1. Talonavicular and talocalcaneal coalitions are the most common symptomatic coalitions. Their presence in other tarsal joints such as talonavicular, calcaneus cuboid and naviculocuneiform joints is very rare. Leonard2, in a long series of tarsal coalitions, found th...

Missing data due to occlusion is a key challenge in 3D acquisition, particularly in cluttered man-made scenes. Such partial information about the scenes limits our ability to analyze and understand them. In this work we abstract such environments as collections of cuboids and hallucinate geometry in the occluded regions by globally analyzing the physical stability of the resultant arrangements ...

This paper investigates the formation process of a typical microstructure in the glass microfluidic chip, i.e., cuboid microprotrusion, by the soda-lime glass molding process (GMP). The finite element models on the platform Abaqus/Standard were established for simulating the glass molding process. The glass viscoelasticity at pressing temperature was described by the General Maxwell model. The ...

Lung tumors move during breathing depending on patient's breathing conditions, thereby compromising the accurate deposition of radiation doses. It is thus important to calculate the delivered dose to various aspects of the moving tumor and the surrounding normal tissues due to change in tumor shape and location with breathing. In this abstract, we present a computer-based simulation framework t...

Background & Aims: Various insoles have been developed, but little objective evaluation of their effectiveness has conducted. We investigated the effect supporting cuboid bone and anterior part calcaneus in healthy individuals.

Given a list of d-dimensional cuboid items with associated profits, the orthogonal knapsack problem asks for a packing of a selection with maximal profit into the unit cube. We restrict the items to hypercube shapes and derive a ( 5 4 + )-approximation for the twodimensional case. In a second step we generalize our result to a ( 2 +1 2d + )approximation for d-dimensional packing.

The existing combinatorial methods for iso-surface computation are efficient for pure visualization purposes, but it is known that the resulting iso-surfaces can have holes, and topological problems like missing or wrong connectivity can appear. To avoid such problems, we introduce a graph-theoretical method for the computation of iso-surfaces on cuboid meshes in R. The method for the generatio...

I read with interest the article ‘‘Combined double tarsal wedge osteotomy and transcuneiform osteotomy for correction of resistant club foot deformity (the bean-shaped foot) by Elgeidi and Abulsaad [1]. I would, however, like to draw attention to some errors in their description of the double osteotomy technique. In their article the authors mention that the procedure described by Jawish [2] in...

To achieve a mathematics learning goal, it is necessary to understand mathematical concept make easier determine solution. However, in class there are still difficulties achieving these objectives, especially area of surface cube and cuboid. One the students occurs because existence obstacles for known as Learning Obstacles. The research design this study uses qualitative method by identifying ...

Let v1; : : : ; vn be unit vectors in R such that vi ¢ vj = ¡w for i 6= j where ¡1 < w < 1 n¡1 . The points Pn i=1 ‚ivi (1 ‚ ‚1 ‚ ¢ ¢ ¢ ‚ ‚n ‚ 0) form a “Hill-simplex of the first type”, denoted by Qn(w). It was shown by Hadwiger in 1951 that Qn(w) is equidissectable with a cube. In 1985, Schöbi gave a three-piece dissection of Q3(w) into a triangular prism cQ2(2) £ I, where I denotes an interv...
