Evaluation of genial tubercle anatomy using cone beam computed tomography.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the anatomy of the genial tubercle using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The morphology and detailed anatomy of the genial tubercle were assessed retrospectively in 201 patients (101 females, 100 males) using CBCT images. The parameters examined were the height (GH) and width (GW) of the genial tubercle, the distance from the lower incisors to...

Bayesian Ecometrics – A genial device to ponder Ecological Data Analysis

Bayesian statistics is becoming an important statistical tool for practitioners to deal with analysis of complex data and complicated statistical models. The impact of Bayesian analysis in combination with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technology is realized optimally in the domain of applications. The ecological data could be a storehouse of natural history and experimental data is used to a...
