OBJECTIVES To review our experience with our anatomic (medial, transverse, and lateral) nasal osteotomy technique for correcting the asymmetric bony nasal vault in esthetic and functional rhinoplasty. METHODS All patients undergoing anatomic nasal osteotomy technique by the senior author (y.d.) from August 1997 to August 2005 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months were reviewed. Preoperative an...

Abstract We present results obtained with an original hybrid set-up permitting to increase strongly the levitation force of Superconducting Magnetic Levitating (SML) systems. compare measurements carried out this a conventional one. investigate stability proposed system by measuring lateral (or restoring) force. show how calculate measured and forces from: (i) those in configuration (ii) repuls...

The transport of slightly deformable chiral objects in a uniform shear flow is investigated. Depending on the equilibrium configuration one finds up to four different asymptotic states that can be distinguished by lateral drift velocity of their center of mass, rotational motion about the center of mass and deformations of the object. These deformations influence the magnitudes of the principal...

A 4D-Var data assimilation technique is applied to a ORCA-2 configuration of the NEMO in order to identify the optimal parametrization of the boundary conditions on the lateral boundaries as well as on the bottom and on the surface of the ocean. The influence of the boundary conditions on the solution is analyzed as in the assimilation window and beyond the window. It is shown that optimal cond...

The heterostructured configuration between two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials has enabled the engineering of the band gap and the design of novel devices. So far, the synthesis of single-component topological insulator (TI) 2D materials such as Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and Sb2Te3 has been achieved through vapor phase growth and molecular beam epitaxy; however, the spatial controlled fabricatio...

It has been recently shown that randomly charged surfaces can exhibit-long range electrostatic interactions even when they are net neutral. These forces depend on the specific realization of charge disorder and thus exhibit sample-to-sample fluctuations about their mean value. We analyze the fluctuations of these forces in the parallel slab configuration and in the sphere-plane geometry via the...

This paper is concerned with achieving a higher rate at which a robot operation involving part mating can be carried out while free of excessive contact forces. It is shown that the rate is primarily limited by the robot end effector's lateral transient response to the contact forces, while the response depends mainly on the link inertia characteristics and joint compliances. Both factors were ...

Sopranos are notoriously difficult to understand. This study tracks the progressive loss with extreme high f0 of (a) vowel quality distinctions, and (b) the percept of a syllable-initial lateral. A soprano sang [lV] syllables on the notes of an arpeggio from A4 to A5. V ranged over [i, ɛ, a, ɑ, ɔ, u, əә]. She performed as a phonetician, not a trained singer, so that aesthetic adjustments of vow...

Nanocarbon-derived electron emission devices, specifically nanodiamond lateral field emission (FE) diodes and gated carbon nanotube (CNT) triodes, are new configurations for robust nanoelectronic devices. These novel micro/nanostructures provide an alternative and efficient means of accomplishing electronics that are impervious to temperature and radiation. For example, nitrogen-incorporated na...
