Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle (ATIO) and myectomy of the inferior oblique muscle (MIO) are surgical methods for treating dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) and are also used in patients with coexisting inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA). In order to compare the outcomes of these methods, a study of ATIO and MIO was carried out on patients with DVD of at least 5 ...

a relationship based on the modified couple stress theory is developed to investigate the flexural sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (afm) with assembled cantilever probe (acp). this acp comprises a horizontal cantilever, two vertical extensions and two tips located at the free ends of the extensions which form a caliper. an approximate solution to the flexural vibration problem is obta...

The prism over a graph G is the Cartesian productG K2 of G with the complete graph K2. If the prism over G is hamiltonian, we say that G is prism-hamiltonian. We prove that triangulations of the plane, projective plane, torus, and Klein bottle are prism-hamiltonian. We additionally show that every 4-connected triangulation of a surface with sufficiently large representativity is prism-hamiltoni...

standardization of induction of oxidative stress with fenton mixture (fm) in isolated perfused rat kidney and the antioxidant effect of terminalia arjuna bark in the isolated oxidatively stressed rat kidney has been evaluated. six groups each containing eight isolated perfused rat kidneys were used for the present study and the oxidative stress was induced by perfusing the isolated kidneys with...

Using the membrane analogy, in 1934 Timoshenko derived torsional rigidity of a rectangular prism isotropic material as function its shear modulus, width and thickness. However, he did not consider energy conservation criterion, it could be either unnecessary or replaced by other criteria Timoshenko’s process. To confirm correctness solution, this work re-derives considering all equilibrium cond...

Paleosols at Polecat Bench, northern Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, show prismatic structures not previously described in the Paleogene Willwood Formation. Prisms are densely spaced 15–50 mm diameter cylinders with vertical to slightly sinuous paths up to 400 mm long, subangular to rounded vertical faces, and slightly concave to convex tops. Prism exteriors are coated commonly by , 1-mm-thick clay fil...

Observations of the Caspian Sea during August-September 1995 are used to develop a three-dimensional numerical model to be used in calculating temperature and current. The model has variable grid resolution and horizontal smoothing that filters out small scale vertical motion. Data from the meteorological buoy network on the Caspian Sea are combined with routine observations at first-order syno...

Objective(s): To study the effect of acute and repeated stress on cardioprotection-induced by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC).Materials and Methods: RIPC was induced by giving 4 short cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, each consisting of five min. The Langendorff’s apparatus was used to perfuse the isolated rat hearts by subjecti...

We present a new method using high frequency full waveform information to determine the focal mechanisms of small, local earthquakes monitored by a sparse surface network. During the waveform inversion, we maximize both the phase and amplitude matching between the observed and modeled waveforms. In addition, we use the polarities of the first P-wave arrivals and the average S/P amplitude ratios...
