Planetariums and smaller personal domes can provide an immersive environment for science education, virtual reality, and entertainment [Shaw 1998]. Digital projection into domes, called “full dome projection” in the industry, can be a technically challenging and expensive exercise, particularly so for installations with modest budgets. An alternative full dome digital projection system is prese...

The optical reference plane of a J1002 shaped dome diffuser from CMS-Schreder was determined using direct normal spectral solar UV irradiance measurements relative to a flat Teflon diffuser. The spectroradiometers were calibrated relative to the same irradiance standard. The optical reference plane of the shaped J1002 diffuser is 5.3 mm behind the top of the dome with an uncertainty of 1.0 mm. ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to confirm that the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in the dome wall of the bladder are pacemaker cells, and that the dome wall of the bladder acts as a pacemaker site in the detrusor instability (DI) rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model of DI in Wistar rats was established and urodynamic studies measuring the bladder volume and pressure were perform...

Percutaneous hepatic interventions are generally safe given the fact that liver closely abuts the abdominal wall and hence it is easily accessible. However, the superior portion of liver, adjacent to the diaphragm, commonly referred as the "hepatic dome", presents unique challenges for interventionists. Percutaneous access to the hepatic dome may be restricted by anatomical factors and special ...

A detailed deuterium excess profile measured along the Dome C EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) core reveals the timing and strength of the sea surface temperature changes at the source regions for Dome C precipitation. We infer that an Oceanic Cold Reversal took place in the southern Indian Ocean, 800 years after the Antarctic Cold Reversal. The temperature gradient between...

Optimumdetection is applied to ultrasonic signals corrupted with significant levels of grain noise. The aim is to enhance the echoes produced by the interface between the first and second layers of a dome to obtain interface traces in echo pulse B-scan mode. This is useful information for the restorer before restoration of the dome paintings. Three optimum detectors are considered: matched filt...

Tripple deformity of elbow in association with cubitus varus can be treated by dome osteotomy. In this study we assess the strength of fixation after a dome osteotomy for cubitus varus associated with triple deformity in terms of union and complications. We conclude with this study that dome osteotomy has its own advantages in correcting the deformity for cosmesis and also by not leaving the pr...
