Using the effective potential, the large-N nonlinear O(N) sigma model with the curvature coupled term is studied on S 2 × R 1. We show that, for the conformally coupled case, the dynamical mass generation of the model in the strong-coupled regime on R 3 takes place for any finite scalar curvature (or radius of the S 2). If the coupling constant is larger than that of the conformally coupled cas...

Ultrasonic shot peening (USP) studied. Several parameters (arc heights, surface roughness topography and micro hardness) with different parameters were measured. The research proposes curvature of shot peened sheet increases with time decreasing, while increases with pin diameter increasing, and curvature reaches a saturation level after a specific electric current. An empirical model of the re...

INTRODUCTION Complete knowledge of root canal curvature is a critical factor in successful endodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the direction, radius and degree of curvature of maxillary anterior teeth and the relationship between the radius and degree of curvature in Babol, a northern city of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 242 radiographs of maxillary anteri...

Modification of a standard Goldmann goniolens by reducing the curvature of the contact surface to 8.5 mm radius of curvature (from the standard curvature of 7.4 mm) enabled gonioscopy to be carried out without the nuisance of air bubbles.

Despite the prevalence of directional changes during every-day gait, relatively little is known about turning compared to straight gait. While the center of mass (COM) movement during straight gait is well characterized, the COM trajectory and the factors that influence it are less established for turning. This study investigated the influence of a corner׳s height on the COM trajectory as parti...
