BACKGROUND Rhinoplasty techniques to affect nasal tip rotation are well described. Cephalic alar trim is a powerful method for achieving tip elevation. Previous studies and texts provide aesthetic guidelines for nasolabial angles. Often, surgeon experience determines the degree of lower lateral cartilage resection to achieve optimal results. This study analyzes the change in tip elevation with ...

Given documented social dominance and intraspecific predation in bear populations, the ideal despotic distribution model and sex hypothesis of sexual segregation predict adult female grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) will avoid areas occupied by adult males to reduce risk of infanticide. Under ideal despotic distribution, juveniles should similarly avoid adult males to reduce predation risk. Den-sit...

After establishing anatomical feasibility, functional reconstruction to replace the anterolateral part of the deltoid was performed in 20 consecutive patients with irreversible deltoid paralysis using the sternoclavicular portion of the pectoralis major muscle. The indication for reconstruction was deltoid deficiency combined with massive rotator cuff tear in 11 patients, brachial plexus palsy ...

The main aim of a research presented in this paper is selection of the most suitable interpolation method and its parameter settings for creation of digital elevation models (DEMs) of base types of relief in the Czech Republic (flatlands, hilly areas, uplands and highlands) from the DMÚ 25 database. The suitability of interpolation methods and their settings was explored using the assessment of...

The HRS (high resolution stereo) is an autonomous imaging system on SPOT 5. It has been designed especially for the generation of digital elevation models (DEMs). The combination of a forward and a backward view do allow a stereoscopic imaging with a height to base relation of 1.2 and just 90 seconds time interval. Some images, which are usually not accessible and used only by SPOT Image for th...

It is anticipated that many of the future forest mapping applications will be based on three-dimensional (3D) point clouds. A comparison study was conducted to verify the explanatory power and information contents of several 3D remote sensing data sources on the retrieval of above ground biomass (AGB), stem volume (VOL), basal area (G), basal-area weighted mean diameter (Dg) and Lorey’s mean he...

recognizing the herbaceous plant species diversity could use as an importantindicator applied for the rangeland and forests management. considering the presence ofvegetation and animal husbandry in zagros region, iran, being aware of the diversity andrichness of plant species is necessary to management or the destructed vegetationrestoration. in order to study the effect of aspect and elevation...

INTRODUCTION Recently, the prognostic value of ST segment elevation in lead aVR in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and its relationship with significant stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCAS) and three-vessel disease have been highlighted. AIM Analysis of the relationship between ST segment elevation observed in aVR lead and angiographic severity of coronary artery disease in patient...

Acute ST segment elevation is regarded generally as the sine qua non of evolving Q wave myocardial infarction (MI) because such electrocardiographic (ECG) injury is believed to be a marker of transmural ischemia and a forerunner of transmural necrosis. Alternatively, ST segment depression with or without T wave inversion is viewed as the dominant ECG feature of non-Q wave MI. However, this hypo...
