OBJECTIVE To explore the aesthetic characteristics of the Chinese children lips. METHODS Frontal and profile photographs of 653 healthy children were categorized as the attractive and the unattractive by three laypersons and objectively measured for comparison. RESULTS The attractive group tended to be smaller in the upper paramedian red lip height, the lower paramedian red lip height, the ...

echinocorys ex. gr. scutata is one of the most important echinids in the upper cretaceous deposits. in this regard, a stratigraphic section of the farokhi formation in the central iran is sampled. this formation is less known and described in the geology of iran. according to the macropaleontological investigations, 1 genus and 1 specious of completely silicified echinocorythidae are determined...

Abstract The Garedu Red Bed Formation (GRBF) of the northern Tabas Block (Central-East Iranian Microcontinent, CEIM) is a lithologically variable, up to 500-m-thick, predominantly continental unit. It rests gradually or unconformably on marine limestones Esfandiar Subgroup (Callovian–Oxfordian) and assigned Kimmeridgian–Tithonian. In lower part, it consists pebble- boulder-sized conglomerates/b...

Middle to Upper Triassic (Upper Ladinian to Lower Carnian) deep-sea sedimentary rocks crop out across a large area west of Nakhlak village, Central Iran and have been named Ashin Formation. The up to 304m thick, turbiditic, siliciclastic Ashin Formation consists of alternating turbiditic, thin- and medium-bedded calcareous sandstones, purple, fine-grained volcaniclastic sandstones, and mostly g...

in order to study the stratigraphic of sedimentary deposits of the cenomanian in kopeh dagh, the taghiabad section was selected. in the eastern kopeh dagh, the upper part of aitamir formation has this time range characteristic. the upper part of this formation includes shale and glauconitic sandstones and contains variety of ammonite fauna. ten genera and species of ammonites are found inside t...

The galaxy population at z . 1 is effectively described as a combination of two distinct types: red, early-type galaxies lacking much star formation and blue, late-type galaxies with active star formation. For the red galaxy population, recent work by Bell et al. (2004) has shown that the number density of ∼ L∗ galaxies on the red sequence has risen by a factor of ∼ 2 from z ∼ 1 to z ∼ 0. A var...

in this research, calcareous nannofossils of the upper cretaceous deposits of the souteast lar have been investigated. the upper cretaceous deposits have a thickness of 173 meters and consist of thick layers of marl and marly limestone. for introducing calcareous nannofossil assemblages and biozones, 141 slides of the gurpi formation in southeast of lar area have been studies which led to ident...

We present near-infrared VLT-UT1+ISAAC spec-troscopy of a sample of 9 extremely red galaxies (ERGs) with R − K > 5 and K < 19.0. Neither strong emission lines (F lim <1–5×10 −16 erg s −1 cm −2) nor continuum breaks are detected. From near-infrared spectrophotometry, complemented with broad-band optical and near-IR photometry, we estimate " spectro-photometric " redshifts to be in the range of 0...
