PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and peripapillary choroidal thickness in eyes with tilted optic disc in order to identify characteristic RNFL and peripapillary choroid patterns verified by optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty-nine eyes of 29 patients with tilted optic discs were studied with spectral-domain (SD)-OCT and compared ...

In this paper we study the future asymptotics of spatially homogeneous Bianchi type II cosmologies with a tilted perfect fluid with a linear equation of state. By means of Hamiltonian methods we first find a monotone function for a special tilted case, which subsequently allows us to construct a new set of monotone functions for the general tilted type II cosmologies. In the context of a new pa...

Visual input powerfully modulates the dynamics of tactile orientation perception. This study investigated the transfer of the tilt aftereffect (TAE) from vision to somatosensation. In a visual tilt adaptation paradigm, participants were exposed to clockwise or anticlockwise visual tilt, followed by three brief tactile two-point stimuli delivered on their forehead. In a two-alternative forced ch...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the best angle for tilting the head to the left to locate a puncture point during right internal jugular puncture for patients with a laryngeal mask and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the success rate in clinical practice and reduce complications associated with internal jugular puncture. Methods: Vascular overlapping rates at th...

In this paper, we propose methods for the measurement of electric intensities of a microwave field above the surface of microwave circuits. Using miniaturized coaxial antennas, we measure all spatial components of the induced field above device-under-test. A special position/signal difference method is used to better localize the measured field and increase the spatial resolution of the field m...

Microchannel electron multipliers with tilted structures are simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Gains of secondary electrons are calculated for different structures of the electron multiplier. For a short tilted cylindrical channel of the electron multiplier, a maximum gain is achieved greater than 10 at a tilt angle near 25 . The maximum gain is about 10 times larger than that of the nont...

The sense of balance is one of the phylogenetically oldest sensory systems. The vestibular organs, consisting of sensory hair cells and an overlying extracellular membrane, have been conserved throughout vertebrate evolution. To better understand mechanisms regulating vestibular development and mechanisms of vestibular pathophysiology, we have analyzed the mouse mutant, tilted (tlt), which has ...
