BACKGROUND All the reported measures of sitting posture, as well as photographs, have one flaw, as these measures are external to the body. These measures use calculations from external bony landmarks to estimate spinal posture, on the understanding that what is being measured externally reflects the shape, health and performance of structures of the underlying spine. Without a comparative meas...

purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...

background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...

BACKGROUND A functional disturbance of the right parietal cortex (PC) is supposed to be responsible for the distorted body image in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). Based on this assumption, we investigated changes in haptic perception with a new experimental design. METHOD Thirty-two subjects (16 AN patients and 16 healthy controls) were asked to readjust a given angle adjustment without...

The observability of radome aberration estimation with line-of-sight (LOS) angle-only measurement is studied in this paper. When missile seeker can only measure LOS angle of target, target state variables are required to be estimated with this measurement for accurate missile guidance. Since LOS angle measurement contains error, caused by radome attached at missile nose and called radome aberra...
