Aims This study assessed the effect of access design on angle, radius, and location of primary canal curvature in mesial roots of Type IV mandibular molars at different phases of root canal preparation. Methodology Twenty-four teeth were selected radiographically and via μCT and accessed with contracted (CEC; n = 12) or traditional endodontic cavity (TEC; n = 12) designs. Angle, radius, and loc...

Tactile dots and bars serve as tactile landmarks so that people with visual impairment can use same consumer products as those used by sighted people. However, reliable age-related data on the appropriate sizes and the shapes was not necessarily available. The purpose of this study is to evaluate influences of edge radius of curvature of tactile dots and bars on their discriminability in younge...

We investigate relations between spatial properties of the free energy and the radius of Gaussian curvature of the underlying curved lattice geometries. For this purpose we derive recurrence relations for the analysis of the free energy normalized per lattice site of various multistate spin models in the thermal equilibrium on distinct non-Euclidean surface lattices of the infinite sizes. Where...

In the present paper we dealt with some aspects of Curves, curvature and Radius curvature. The aim this study lies in Curvature Parabola 2-dimenssions numerically using Matlab. Matlab is an interactive working environment which user can carry out quite complex computational tasks few commands. We followed applied mathematical method a new technique (Matlab) found that tow diminutionus more accu...

The semicircular canals of the inner ear detect head rotations and trigger compensatory movements that stabilize gaze and help maintain visual fixation. Mammals with large eyes and high visual acuity require precise gaze stabilization mechanisms because they experience diminished visual functionality at low thresholds of uncompensated motion. Because semicircular canal radius of curvature is a ...

Osteoarthritis results in changes in the dimensions of the glenoid. This study aimed to assess the size and radius of curvature of arthritic glenoids. A total of 145 CT scans were analysed, performed as part of routine pre-operative assessment before total shoulder replacement in 91 women and 54 men. Only patients with primary osteoarthritis and a concentric glenoid were included in the study. ...

Aim: The primary aim of this study was to find if there is any correlation between the corneal radius of curvature and its eccentricity. Method: 45 subjects participated in this study, 24 emmetropes, 18 myopes and three hyperopes. All subjects were free of ocular abnormalities and had no media opacities. All the subjects had normal ocular health and good visual acuity of 1.0 or better for both ...
