Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) provide valuable insights into the nature of solar system surfaces, facilitating geological analysis, landing site selection and characterisation, contextualising in situ measurements. For missions to bodies for which orbiters soft landed platforms are technologically or financially challenging achieve, low mass descent ascent probes (e.g. planetary penetrators) an...

Preface The author had the opportunity to visit Germany twice, in November 1990 and in March 1991, in order to investigate cadastral and topographical information management and standardization efforts in this country. This technical report contains two separate accounts on these investigations. The first part concentrates on the situation in western states, while the second part deals mainly w...

The present paper understands prosodic phrases as units which take part in constituting the rhythmical structure of speech. Due to very subjective and inconsistent criteria for the prosodic phrase perception there must be an objectively underlain method for prosodic phrase assignment. This has been achieved by extensive listening tests (103 participants) and statistical evaluation of the acquir...

The topography of the auriculotemporal nerve (ATN) root system is the main criterion of this nerve classification. Previous publications indicate that ATN may have between one and five roots. Most common is a one- or two-root variant of the nerve structure. The problem of many publications is the inconsistency of nomenclature which concerns the terms "roots", "connecting branches", or "branches...

Is there value in constructing side chains while searching protein conformational space during an ab initio simulation? If so, what is the most computationally efficient method for constructing these side chains? To answer these questions, four published approaches were used to construct side chain conformations on a range of near-native main chains generated by ab initio protein structure pred...

Atypical connections in the formation of the brachial plexus are prevalent and have been reported in different articles. The present report describes a case of variation of the median nerve observed in the Iranian male cadaver during routine trial dissection. There are three roots for median nerve. Median nerve is formed by joining two lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. Third root ...

Computational protein tertiary structure prediction has made significant progress over the past years. However, most of the existing structure prediction methods are not equipped with functionality to predict accuracy of constructed models. Knowing the accuracy of a structure model is crucial for its practical use since the accuracy determines potential applications of the model. Here we have d...
