conclusions the occurrence of sam in pauci-autoimmune vasculitis is rarely described, particularly in africa. our case is an illustration of the reality of this association. introduction we reported a case of hemophagocytic syndrome complicating microscopic polyangitis presented by crescentic glomerulonephritis. case presentation a 22-year-old female patient originated from dakar, senegal prese...

With a birefringent uniaxial prism one obtains ordinary and extraordinary spectral lines and one can observe an inclination between them. The inclination will be calculated by applying the Lagrange–Helmholtz matrix formulation. The results of an experiment using a specially constructed prism are described.

Context. Thanks to their high quality, new and upcoming asteroseismic observations – with CoRoT, Kepler, and from the ground... – can benefit from the experience gained with helioseismology. Aims. We focus in this paper on solar-like oscillations, for which the inclination of the rotation axis is unknown. We present a theoretical study of the errors of p-mode parameters determined by means of a...

Since the mid 70’s different starspot modelling techniques have been used to describe the observed spot variability on active stars. Spot positions and temperatures are calculated by application of surface integration techniques or solution of analytic equations on observed photometric data.Artificial spotted light curves were generated, by use of the analytic expressions of Budding (1977), to ...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the impact of maxillary incisor inclination on the aesthetics of the profile view of a smile, (2) to determine the most aesthetic inclination in the profile view of a smile and correlate it with facial features, and (3) to determine if dentists, orthodontists, and laypeople appreciate differently incisor inclination in smile aesthetics. A smilin...

The authors hypothesized that an image-free navigation system would be more accurate than postoperative 3-dimensional (3-D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) for acetabular cup inclination and anteversion during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in an Asian population. Eighty-one THAs were performed in 72 patients using the OrthoPilot image-free navigation system (B. Braun Aesculap, Tuttlingen,...

This paper presents an improved iterative nonlinear calibration method in the gravitational field for both low-grade and high-grade triaxial accelerometers. This calibration method assumes the probability density function of a Gaussian distribution for the raw outputs of triaxial accelerometers. A nonlinear criterion function is derived as the maximum likelihood estimation for the calibration p...

Generally the anatomy of muscles is rather complex, and the fibres have various inclination angles within the muscles. We suggest a fast and reliable way to calculate extracellular potentials produced at a point or rectangular plate electrode by a muscle fibre of finite length with an arbitrary inclination. A muscle fibre was considered to be a linear timeshift-invariant system of potential gen...

WITHDRAWN AR IES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my two advisors, Professors Shapiro and Counselman, for their assistance in choosing and in carrying out this thesis research. I would also like to thank my wife, but this is impossible, as I am single. ABSTRACT Previous investigations of the evolution of the 3:2 spin-orbit resonance state of the planet Mercury have used simplified mathema...

We examine a heteroclinic bifurcation occurring in families of equivariant vector elds. Within these families, the ows contain structurally stable heteroclinic cycles. The ow can twist around the cycle to produce what is the equivalent of an \inclination-ip" homoclinic orbit. An unfolding of this bifurcation in a generic one-parameter equivariant family shows that Smale horseshoes are embedded ...
