The development of slug $ow along two 10 m long inclined pipes (2–90◦ from the horizontal) with internal diameters of 0.024 and 0:054 m was measured by three optical 4ber probes. The probes were located in a measurement module at axial distances of 0:020 m between the 4ber tips. To measure the evolution of slug $ow, the module was placed at di6erent positions along the pipe. Instantaneous elong...

Our aim was to compare the degree of patellar descent and alteration in angle of the inclination of the tibial plateau in lateral closing-wedge and medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in 51 consecutive patients with osteoarthritis of the medial compartment and varus malalignment. Patellar height was measured by the Insall-Salvati (IS) and the Blackburne-Peel (BP) ratios. The tibial...

The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the inclination of the coronoid process of the mandible, and electromyographic activity of the anterior part of the temporal muscle in skeletal Class I and II individuals. Forty-seven volunteers (mean age 24.5 +/- 3.9 years) were subdivided into two groups, according to angle ANB: Class I (n = 25) and II (n = 22). Two radiographic exa...

The geotropic conduct of young rats has been discussed in a previous paper (Crozier and Pincus, 1926-27) with special reference to the angle of orientation upon an inclined plane. It was found that the angle of orientation (0) is directly proportional to the logarithm of the gravitational component (g sin ~) in the creeping plane. This is explicable as the result of the distribution of the pull...
