BACKGROUND The midline and paramedian mandibulotomy are surgical procedures that divide the mandibular bone into two halves and disconnects the condylar heads of the TMJ from each other. This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) functional and morphological changes after mandibulotomy using a reconstructed 3D models of the TMJ. METHODS Sixteen adult patients...

the hotelling's  control chart, is the most widely used multivariate procedure for monitoring  two or more related quality characteristics, but it’s power lacks the desired performance in detecting small to moderate shifts. recently, the variable sampling intervals (vsi) control scheme in which the length of successive sampling intervals is determined upon the preceding values has been pro...

The resolution of a set of n tests o r other var ia tes into components 7~, each of which accounts for the greates t possible port ion 71, ~,~, . , of the total variance of the tests unaccounted for by the previous components, has been dealt with by the author in a previous paper (2). Such "factors ," on account of their analogy with the principal axes of a quadric, have been called principal c...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose this study was examine differences in satisfaction overall employment situation between two matched samples adults MS, namely, Hispanics Caucasians. METHODS: Participants responded a national survey communit...

Sections 3 and 4 present the two versions of the model, which make different The model has a continuum of voters with unit mass and two candidates, 1 and 2. ABSTRACT We consider the Hotelling–Downs model with n 3 office-seeking candidates and runoff voting. We show that Nash equilibria in pure strategies. Congyi Xiang discover inside connections to recommended job candidates, industry January 2...

We report on a genome-independent microbial fingerprinting method using nucleic acid microarrays for microbial forensics and epidemiology applications and demonstrate that the microarray method provides high resolution differentiation between closely related microorganisms, using Salmonella enterica strains as the test case. In replicate trials we used a simple 192 probe nonamer array to constr...

Multivariate statistical methods for the analysis, monitoring and diagnosis of process operating performance are becoming more important because of the availability of on-line process computers which routinely collect measurements on large numbers of process variables. Traditional univariate control charts have been extended to multivariate quality control situations using the Hotelling T2 stat...

This paper presents a new method for optimizing surface point correspondences for shape modeling of multiobject anatomy, or shape complexes. The proposed method is novel in that it optimizes correspondence positions in the full, joint shape space of the object complex. Researchers have previously only considered the correspondence problem separately for each structure, thus ignoring the interst...
