Due to the shadowing effect, the oblique angle deposition technique can produce nanorods tilted toward the incident deposition flux. Periodic posts serving as seeds on a substrate allow the fabrication of nanorod arrays with controllable separations. However, in a conventional oblique angle deposition with no substrate rotation, nanorods grow faster along their widths in the direction perpendic...

MATERIALS and METHODS: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) data of 48 patients with unilateral congenital microtia and aural atresia were studied. Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) was performed to investigate the anatomic anomaly. The oblique axial and coronal planes were evaluated, on which the tympanic bone remnant was shown and the ossicular mass appeared with the largest size. The a...

The objective was to describe in multiple sclerosis, a cerebellar eye movement syndrome that resulted from an acute episode of inflammatory demyelination. Contrapulsion is an ocular motor disturbance characterised by a triad of (1) hypermetric saccadic eye movements in a direction opposite from a precisely localised lesion within a specific white matter pathway, the uncinate fasciculus, at the ...

UNLABELLED Although only recently described, Colletotrichum boninense is well established in literature as an anthracnose pathogen or endophyte of a diverse range of host plants worldwide. It is especially prominent on members of Amaryllidaceae, Orchidaceae, Proteaceae and Solanaceae. Reports from literature and preliminary studies using ITS sequence data indicated that C. boninense represents ...

Pole side impact crash tests are in use in regulatory and consumer programs around the world. There is some diversity in the test methods that are applied, including the suitability of available side impact dummies for use in these tests. For the WorldSID 50 percentile adult male dummy, much theoretical discussion has focussed on the likely rib response, including the direction of this response...

A detention basin is designed for storm water quantity and quality controls. An in-stream basin is often located on a widened floodplain, while an off-stream basin can be part of open space in a parking lot, park, or sport field. The inflow channel associated with an off-stream basin is allowed to carry its base flow not to exceed the downstream capacity. When the inflow channel is full, the ex...
