rimal punctum protrusion have not been previously reported, and only a significant negative correlation between the severity of punctal protrusion and tear clearance has been reported in the literature [5]. The patient showed a lower eyelid laxity of grade 1 during the initial examination and it was unclear whether the inability to discharge tears was caused by protrusion. Early surgical treatm...

A protrusible upper jaw has independently evolved multiple times within teleosts and has been implicated in the success of two groups in particular: Acanthomorpha and Cypriniformes. We use digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) to compare suction feeding flow dynamics in a representative of each of these clades: goldfish and bluegill. Using DPIV, we contrast the spatial pattern of flow, the ...

Eight muscles invest the human tongue: four extrinsic muscles have external origins and insert into the tongue body and four intrinsic muscles originate and terminate within the tongue. Previously, we noted minimal activation of the genioglossus tongue muscle during impeded protrusion tasks (i.e., having subjects push the tongue against a force transducer), suggesting that other muscles play a ...

The method of calculating the roughness gear teeth depending on parameters meshing gears at rolling friction with slippage. A model for equilibrium surface in form a truncated cone, made basis spherical model. Methods determining technological protrusion; calculation depth implementation protrusion counter body; assessment pattern change module, load meshing. evaluating ratio actual and nominal...

A hernia is a protrusion of abdominal content (preperitoneal fat, omentum or abdominal organs) through an abdominal wall defect. Anatomically the most important features of a hernia are the hernial orifice and the hernia (peritoneal) sac, if present. The hernial orifice is represented by the primary defect in the aponeurotic layer of the abdomen, and the hernial sac by the bulging peritoneum. T...

We report the effects of grain boundary (GB) protrusion on off-state current (IOFF) p-channel polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors by using three-dimensional technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation. found that IOFF at a high drain bias, VDS = −10 V, varies more than 10 times as position GB changes, whereas it less two if has no protrusion, i.e. flat surface. The TCAD analysi...
