Congenital bowing of many long bones in a single individual is comparatively rare and Angle (1954), in a review of the English literature, found only eight reported cases. On the other hand, bowing of individual long bones occurs with greater frequency, the same author reviewing 12 cases of anterior and 14 cases of posterior tibial angulation and three cases with bilateral involvement of the fe...

Problem 1: Bowing of a violin string with different models of stiction.

The variety of echographic features associated with the mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) is not yet completely understood. Therefore, ultrasound recordings were obtained in 33 patients in whom mitral prolapse had been documented by biplane left ventricular cineangiography. Echographic abnormailities of the mitral leaflets during systole were recorded in 26/27 MVPS patients and 6/6 with rup...

The study of bowing is critically important for string players. Traditional bowing annotations are a valuable part of orchestral and individual documentation, but they do not help the performer to search a piece for other passages that should be bowed the same way, or to identify alternative bowing styles. We introduce a notation based on regular expressions that describes patterns of notes in ...

IMPORTANCE Recognition of posterior scleral bowing with choroidal nevus is essential to avoid an underestimation of tumor thickness. OBJECTIVE To describe a particular observation of posterior scleral bowing associated with choroidal nevus on enhanced-depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective observational case series at a referr...

String players spend a significant amount of practice time creating and learning bowings. These may be indicated in the music using up-bow and down-bow symbols, but those traditional notations do not capture the complex bowing patterns that are latent within the music. Regular expressions, a mathematical notation for a simple class of formal languages, can describe precisely the bowing patterns...

We present an experimental study on articulation in bowed strings, that provides important elements for a discussion about sound synthesis control. The study focuses on bow acceleration profiles and transient noises, measured for different players for the bowing techniques detaché and martelé. We found that maximum profiles of these profiles are not synchronous, and temporal shifts are dependan...

We present a novel model to describe conduction band of GaNxAs1−x (GaNAs). As well known, GaNAs shows exotic behavior such as large band gap bowing. Although there are various models to describe the conduction band of GaNAs, origin of the band gap bowing is still under debate. On the basis of perturbation theory, we show that the behavior of conduction band is mainly arising from intervalley mi...
