The orientation of an acetabulum or an acetabular prosthesis may be described by its inclination and anteversion. Orientation can be assessed anatomically, radiographically, and by direct observation at operation. The angles of inclination and anteversion determined by these three methods differ because they have different spatial arrangements. There are therefore three distinct definitions of ...

We present some modifications of the Hoede-Bakker index defined in a social network in which players may influence each other. Due to influences of the other actors, the final decision of a player may be different from his original inclination. The modifications presented in the paper are defined for an arbitrary probability distribution over all inclination vectors. In particular, they concern...

An important issue in zigzag pocket machining is to design a machining strategy such that the resulting tool path requires a minimum number of tool retraction motions. The minimization is further classified as either local or global. In a local minimization, the inclination of a zigzag path is given a priori, and the goal is to partition the planar region to be machined into a minimum number of...

In the past decade, the notion of a neural correlate of consciousness (or NCC) has become a focal point for scientific research on consciousness (Metzinger, 2000a). A growing number of investigators believe that the first step toward a science of consciousness is to discover the neural correlates of consciousness. Indeed, Francis Crick has gone so far as to proclaim that ‘we ... need to discove...

The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of trunk inclination on muscle activity during sitting on forward inclined seats without backrest. The group consisting of thirteen healthy women was examined. Based on anthropometrical data two types of sitting position were adopted with two different angles between thighs and trunk: 120 and 135 degrees. Bioelectrical activity of five muscles ...

We propose the use of a continuity heuristic for solving the inclination ambiguity of polarized light imaging, which is a high resolution method of mapping the spatially varying pattern of anisotropy in biological and nonbiological samples. Applied to the white matter of the brain, solving the inclination ambiguity of polarized light imaging will allow the creation of a 3D model of fibers. We u...

BACKGROUND Inclination and anteversion were the main factors that determined the reliability of the acetabulum. Inclination and anteversion measurements included anatomical, operational and radiographic methods. The aim of our present study was to exhibit divergence of inclination and anteversion via the three measurements. METHODS Inclination and anteversion were defined according to the def...
