Most of river engineering problems are complicated and need to be analyzed by three dimensional models of flow and sediment transport. Considering the fact that computers and numerical methods with great ability of flow and sediment transport simulation are developing quickly, using numerical modeling by engineers is inevitable. Nevertheless, before application, numerical models need to be veri...

Objective: to compare the estimated thyroid volume, as determined by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography, with real volume. Design: Descriptive Study Animals: A total of 7 mixed breed dogs Procedures: On 2D ultrasound, the thyroid volume is estimated by the ellipsoid equation and on 3D ultrasound; it is estimated by outlining the boundaries of the thyroid lobe in ...

This study was conducted to determine the use of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DU) in ocular imaging of the dog and measuring of its optical axis. 12 healthy mixed-breed dogs including 6 males and 6 females were studied. 3DU of the eyes were done using a 5–12 MHz linear trapezoid transducer. 3DU of the eyes were evaluated and the normal optical long axis through a line between the cornea ...

Common three-dimensional (3D) modeling software mainly uses sequence modeling method based on feature tree structure. This kind of parametric modeling is achieved by using dimensional constraints. However, re-editing of any historical features will cause regeneration of the subsequent features, thus resulting in substantial waste of computer resources and time. Compared with sequence modeling t...

As the first phase of a series of monitoring and modeling studies of Iranian coastal areas, Chabahar Bay, located on the north coast of the Gulf of Oman, was under a comprehensive monitoring and modeling study in 2006-2007. The study included an extensive one-year field measurements program to help understanding the ongoing processes in the bay and provide inputs or boundary conditions and vali...

All forms from hypothesized gomphonemoid-cymbelloid lineages were constructed using three-dimensional (3D) parametric equations with the same boundary intervals for all forms. To construct a theoretical morphospace, the absolute value of the Riemann sum of differences between pairs of forms in terms of surfaces in the x-, yand z-directions was determined and plotted in 3D space. In general, nav...

adenomyosis is an idiopathic and benign disease in which ectopic endometrial glands embedded deeply in myometrial smooth muscle with the compensatory hypertrophy of the myometrium surrounding the ectopic endometrium (1, 2). there is a correlation between depth of the infiltration and initial too high stage of adenomyosis. lesions may characterize as a diffuse or focal lesions. the highest preva...

Three-dimensional user interfaces (3D UIs) allow users to interact with virtual objects, environments, or information using direct 3D input in the physical and/or virtual space. With the advent of systems like the Nintendo Wii, 3D UIs have entered the mainstream. Thus, research on 3D UIs is more relevant than ever. In this article, the founders and organizers of the IEEE Symposium on 3D User In...

Stem cells are self-renewing cells that can be differentiated into other cell types. Conventional in vitro models for studying stem cells differentiation are usually preformed in two-dimensional (2D) cultures. The design of three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models which ideally are supposed to mimic the in vivo stem cells microenvironment is potentially useful for inducing stem cell derived tissu...
