In previous studies, we developed several physical models of the human vocal tract, reporting that they are intuitive and helpful for students studying acoustics and speech science. Furthermore, we designed a sliding vocal-tract handicraft model at a science workshop, enabling children to make their own vocal-tract model with a sound source. Additionally, at various science museums, we supervis...

Brain anatomy is typically taught using static images. We asked participants to use their own hands represent the brain and perform gestures during learning. measured learning via a pretest/postest design. compared five video trainings in which heard similar audio repeated terminology aloud. Conditions were: (1) Image: Participants saw images of physical model brain. (2) Physical model: pointin...

Background: The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common neuropathy caused by the entrapment of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. It causes pain and paresthesia in the hand. Objectives: To evaluate the role of clinical symptoms of CTS to determine the severity of this disorder. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study examined 75 hands of 40 patients were referred wi...

for non-darcy flow in submerged porous media a one- dimensional mathematical model has been developed. rockfill detention dams are one of these porous media that comprised of relatively homogenous coarse rockfill which can be used to reduce flood discharge and hydrograph peak. in this research the focus was on the rockfill detention dams in submerged condition. the existence of overtopping rock...

today radiology and imaging are the only and main method to generate geometrical data from body. 3d model of the body will give us the best and reliable information for better understanding and diagnostic. on the other hand with development of cad/cam and rapid prototyping, the 3d printers were born to build 3d models without considering the geometry. today the 3d printers are able to makes a 3...

conclusions the current study revealed that a significant difference existed in hgs among the low, medium, and high bmi groups. a positive correlation existed between hgs and weight and height, while sex was the most significant factor affecting hgs. these findings can serve as a reference to assess hgs prediction, whereby the sex effect should be considered. results the results showed that the...
