Background and Aim: Considering the importance of the clinical significance of the elongated styloid process, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and pattern of calcification and elongation of the styloid process on digital panoramic radiographs of an Iranian population. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 500 digital panoramic radiographs of patients over 18 years old wit...

A two-terminal equivalent model of rapidly elongated freeburning arcs in air is presented that is designed to be used in systematic simulations of both existing and new switching concepts of circuit breakers in electric power circuits. The proposed model is based on the combination of a Mayr-type and a Cassie-type differential equation. These are modified in order to take into account the influ...

In this paper we present designs of fibers having non-zero positive, non-zero negative and near-zero ultra-flattened dispersion with small dispersion slope and ultra-large effective area over a wide spectral range. The designs consist of a concentric multilayer segmented core followed by a trench assisted cladding and a thin secondary core. The central segmented core helps in maintaining desire...

Particles transported in fluid flows, such as cells, polymers, or nanorods, are rarely spherical. In this study, we numerically and theoretically investigate the dispersion of an initially localized patch passive elongated Brownian particles constrained to one degree rotational freedom a two-dimensional Poiseuille flow, demonstrating that exhibit enhanced longitudinal dispersion. shear rods tra...

This study reports our experience in developing a simple, minor injury. After reviewing the literature, a 'drop-mass' method was selected where a 201 g, elongated oval-shaped weight was dropped up to 15 times through a 1 m tube onto the left vastus lateralis of New Zealand white rabbits. To determine the extent of injury and degree of healing, biopsies were obtained six days after injury from t...

Eight Danish Holstein cows were milked with a 1-mm thick specially designed soft liner on their right rear teat and a standard liner mounted under extra high tension on their left rear teat. Four of the animals were overmilked for 5 min. Rear teats were subjected to ultrasound examination on the first day and to infrared thermography on the second day. Teats were submersed in ethanol 20 min pos...

A Low Concentrating Photovoltaic Thermal system typically employs compound parabolic concentrator to focus sunlight and enhance the quality of both thermal electrical energy extracted. One major issues during this process is introduction non-uniform illumination on photovoltaic panels which can cause hot-spots significantly reduce reliability output from system. This be mitigated by integrating...

Dynamical models of Solar System evolution have suggested that P-/D-type volatile-rich asteroids formed in the outer and may be genetically related to Jupiter Trojans, comets small KBOs. Indeed, their spectral properties resemble anhydrous cometary dust. High-angular-resolution images P-type asteroid (87) Sylvia with VLT/SPHERE were used reconstruct its 3D shape, study dynamics two satellites. ...

Eagle's syndrome occurs when an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament causes recurrent throat pain or foreign body sensation, dysphagia, or facial pain. Additional symptoms may include neck or throat pain with radiation to the ipsilateral ear. In adults, the styloid process is approximately 2.5 cm long, and its tip is located between the external and internal carotid arteri...
