We present several results on the geometry of the quantum projective plane CPq. They include: explicit generators for the K-theory and the K-homology; a real calculus with a Hodge star operator; anti-selfdual connections on line bundles with explicit computation of the corresponding ‘monopoles’ and ‘instanton’ charges; complete diagonalization of gauged Laplacians on these line bundles; quantum...

The paper aims at studying the dislocation nucleation, the corresponding work hardening and the influence of resistance to the dislocation motion within the framework of continuum theory of dislocations. We consider an anti-plane constrained shear problem which admits an analytical solution. The interesting features of this solution are the energy and dissipation thresholds for dislocation nucl...

objectives to compare an out-of-plane interscalene catheter technique to the in-plane technique in a randomized clinical trial. patients and methods eighty-four patients undergoing open shoulder surgery were randomized to either the in-plane or out-of-plane ultrasound-guided continuous interscalene technique. the primary outcome was vas pain rating at 24 hours. secondary outcomes included pain ...

Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma is a rare disorder often seen as a para-neoplastic manifestation accompanied with gammopathies and hematologic disorders. In this report, a 44-year-old man is presented who was referred to us due to developing erythematous papules on the hands and yellow patches on different parts of the body. Based on cell blood count, peripheral blood smear and positive ant...

The air-stable title compound, C(12)H(13)N(3)O, which is of inter-est due to its anti-bacterial properties, is an almost planar mol-ecule in which the ten atoms forming the 1,8-naphthyridine ring have an r.m.s. deviation of 0.03 Å from the least-squares plane calculated using the ten atoms. The plane of the acetyl-amino group is slightly inclined [11.7 (2)°] to the plane of the 1,8-naphthyridin...

background and aims. orientation of the occlusal plane is one of the most important clinical procedures in prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous patients. the aim of this study was to define the best posterior reference point of ala-tragus line for orientation of occlusal plane for complete denture fabrication. materials and methods. fifty-three dental students (27 females and 26 males) wi...
