statement of problem: the gonial angle plays an important role in ensuring a harmonious facial profile. changes in this angle especially after surgery may be an aesthetic concern for both the patient and the surgeon. purpose: the aim of the present study was to evaluate gonial angle changes after mandiblular setback with the bssro technique and to measure postsurgical relapse two years after su...

This paper presents cyclic behaviour of bolted and hybrid–combined bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) beam-to-column joints between I-shaped members using steel FRP cleats. Five full-scale tests are carried out to study moment-rotation behaviour, response, failure patterns. The test parameters include position cleat (flange or combined web flange), fastening method (bolting hybrid–combining ...

the normal carrying angle in shiraz population was measured on the basis of sex and age. the right elbow angle of 4266 cases was examined from birth to 30 years old. this study found the carrying angle in 2540 females to be 7.20 (range 2-19) and in 1726 males to be 6.40 (range 2-11), a 0.80 difference. a significant difference (p= 0.05) was found in relation to age. there is a gradual increase ...

objective(s):glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. glutathione s-transferases (gsts) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. in the present study, we examined the polymorphism of gstt1 and gstm1 deletion genotypes (t0m1, t1m0, and t0m0) in 100 glaucoma patients (41with pr...

The current in situ stress regime is of great significance to the exploration and development coalbed methane (CBM). In this study, vertical (), maximum horizontal principal minimum () Liupanshui Coalfield were studied. Variations envelopes trend lines lateral pressure coefficient with depth obtained, non-monotonic decrease permeability burial was determined. On basis, effect on coal reservoir ...

During deep underground coal mining, water-injection-related engineering methods are generally carried out to reduce the hazards of dynamic disasters. The energy evolution characteristics can better describe deformation and failure processes, as it is more consistent with in situ behavior mining-induced coal. In this study, experimental efforts have been paid water-saturated dry anisotropic und...

The study uses DSP as the core and develops agile tracking and surveillance system. It includes overall design of the system, construction of the hardware and compilation of the software. The system hardware consists of DC, color camera, cradle head, SEED-VPM642 DSP development board or pan-tilt-zoom control system. The paper analyzes common algorithms of motion target detection. According to t...
