Traditional methods of chromite exploration are mostly based on geophysical techniques and drilling operations. They are expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, they suffer from several shortcomings such as lack of sufficient geophysical density contrast. In order to overcome these drawbacks, the current research work is carried out to introduce a novel, automatic and opto-geometric image an...

Abstract The surrounding rock of the Lannigou gold mine roadway is mainly sandstone, most which contains thin interlayers argillaceous and carbonaceous minerals. To explore deformation failure mechanism interbedded sandstones under static load caused by stress, macroscopic modes, physical properties, microscopic fracture surface characteristics were studied from different inclination angles. Tr...

Pt-Ge eutectic alloy droplets are scrutinized by microscopic analysis of electrons excited 4.9-eV photons. Using only the work function and contact angle as fitting parameters, we determine exact droplet shape that reproduces experimental electron emission profile. The local inclination droplets' surface plays a decisive role in generated Intensity variations at illuminated side consequence sta...

The roughness of a surface is known to have strong influence on the sputtering process. Commonly used 1D Monte Carlo codes for calculating sputter yields show good agreement with experimental data only comparably flat surfaces, whereas local ion incidence angles, shadowing and redeposition in both magnitude angular dependence rough surfaces. In present work, we therefore investigated tungsten s...

Glenoid inclination has been associated with rotator cuff tears and superior humeral translation, but the relationship between glenoid inclination and superior humeral translation has not been assessed in vivo. This study compared glenoid inclination between repaired and contralateral shoulders in 21 unilateral rotator cuff repair patients. As a secondary analysis, we assessed the relationship ...

The angle of inclination of the acetabular component in total hip replacement is a recognised contributing factor in dislocation and early wear. During non-navigated surgery, insertion of the acetabular component has traditionally been performed at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the sagittal plane as judged by the surgeon's eye, the operative inclination. Typically, the method used to asses...

BACKGROUND Wireless, wearable, inertial motion sensor technology introduces new possibilities for monitoring spinal motion and pain in people during their daily activities of work, rest and play. There are many types of these wireless devices currently available but the precision in measurement and the magnitude of measurement error from such devices is often unknown. This study investigated th...

We present a new method to classify galaxies from large surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using inclination-corrected concentration, inclination-corrected location on the color-magnitude diagram, and apparent axis ratio. Explicitly accounting for inclination tightens the distribution of each of these parameters and enables simple boundaries to be drawn that delineate three different gal...
