OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between chin deviation and the positional and morphological features of the mandible and to determine the factors that contributed to chin deviation in individuals with a unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 28 adults with UCLP were analyzed in this study. Segmented three-di...

If the theoretical relationship between white dwarf mass and orbital period for wide-orbit binary radio pulsars is assumed to be correct, then the neutron star mass of PSR J2019+2425 is shown to be ∼ 1.20M⊙. Hence the mass of the neutron star in this system prior to the mass transfer phase is expected to have been < 1.1M⊙. Alternatively this system descends from the accretion induced collapse (...

We investigate the possibility of constraining the sin i degeneracy of α Cen B b—with orbital period P = 3.24 days; a = 0.042 AU; m sin i = 1.1 ⊕ M —to estimate the true mass of the newly reported terrestrial exoplanet in the nearest stellar system to our Sun. We present detailed numerical simulations of the dynamical stability of the exoplanet in the α Cen AB binary system for a range of initi...

BACKGROUND Increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has been observed in Ghana as in other developing countries. Past research focused on NCDs among adults. Recent researches, however, provide evidence on NCDs among children in many countries, including Ghana. Beliefs about the cause of NCDs among children may be determined by the socioeconomic status of parents and care givers...

Rapid use of internet-based applications like mobile library (MLA) are depicting the modern era digital students and literature broadly discussed initial adoption MLA among students. However, there is a need to investigate continuance intention overcome an acceptance-discontinuance phenomenon. Therefore, this research was performed for empirical support toward continued usage by integrating ext...

Glenoid inclination has been associated with rotator cuff tears and superior humeral translation, but the relationship between glenoid inclination and superior humeral translation has not been assessed in vivo. This study compared glenoid inclination between repaired and contralateral shoulders in 21 unilateral rotator cuff repair patients. As a secondary analysis, we assessed the relationship ...

The angle of inclination of the acetabular component in total hip replacement is a recognised contributing factor in dislocation and early wear. During non-navigated surgery, insertion of the acetabular component has traditionally been performed at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the sagittal plane as judged by the surgeon's eye, the operative inclination. Typically, the method used to asses...

the signs of sadness, concern and losing one’s thought balance are among the varieties of the manifestation of loneliness in human beings. the contemporary arab poet is a sensitive, bright minded man, living under the dominance of colonialism or anti-freedom organizations, suffering from different forms of loneliness. such a condition will cause that poet to lose his life balance and peaceful b...
