b ackground: in 1991, wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. the aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with a-pattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lat...

An oblique effect is evident in vernier acuity for abutting lines. In Experiment 1 we show that the oblique effect in vernier acuity exists over a range of contrast levels, and is evident even when the horizontal and oblique lines are equally detectable or discriminable. Since this oblique effect cannot be explained by the lower visibility of oblique vernier lines or of the "dipole" cue, it is ...

Actual applications of the energy absorbers showed that actual loads are not applied in the form of pure axial compression, pure bending or pure torsion. In reality, an energy absorber component may be subjected to combined loading of compression, bending and torsion. A number of previous articles have investigated the behavior of energy absorbers under oblique loading. In such cases, the obliq...

in the urumieh-dokhtar volcanic zone, there are nearly parallel faults to the zagros zone.they were formed during collision of the arabic plate with central iran plate. the northwest-southeast trending of qom-zefreh fault system has long been recognized as major faults in central iran. the general aim of this research is to identify the activity period of this fault and the extent of its effect...

side weirs are flow diversion devices that are widely used in irrigation, drainage and urban sewage systems. the present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of oblique side weirs on the discharge coefficient of a side weir under subcritical flow condition in rectangular channels. in this study 106 laboratory tests were conducted and the results were analyzed to find out the influen...

purpose : we describe clinical and radiologic findings and surgical outcome of an orbital dermoid cyst located in the superior oblique muscle tendon. this unusual location for dermoid tumors has not been reported previously. case report : a 15-year-old girl referred to us with an orbital mass in superonasal quadrant of the left orbit reportedly to be present from birth. computed tomography reve...

abstract background: several studies have examined the reflex response of ankle musculature to sudden inversion in noninjured and injured subjects. to date, there have been no studies to determine the effect of versatile degrees & conditions of perturbation on the ankle musculature latency. the purpose of this study was to measure and determine whether there was a difference in ankle musculatur...

Classical trajectory (Monte Carlo) calculation is used to calculate collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule interactions for the H¯+C2H2 system. The method presented here takes into account the effect of the induced dipole-induced dipole potential on ion-quadrupolar molecule collision rate constants. It is also assumed that the colliding particles have a d...

Introduction: Scaling relations derived from laboratory experiments and dimensional analysis [1] provide first-order estimates for the diameters of objects responsible for craters on the planets. At basin scales, however, the final crater rim may not be preserved due to rim collapse. Assumptions about impactor speed, angle, and density further preclude a unique determinations. As a result, the ...
