PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine accurately the part of the tragus to be used to form the Ala-Tragal line or Camper's line in orthognathic profile patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS 150 dentate subjects with age of 18-40 years with orthognathic profile were sampled. Life-size lateral digital photographs of the face with fox plane were taken in natural head position. Different a...

the scope of this research is to investigate the effect of geometrical and physical input parameters in crustal viscoelastic deformation models. to do this analysis viscoelastic model of wang et al., 2006 is used. the increasing quality of data on time-dependent deformation of the earth's surface can be used to extract more details on the spatial and temporal development of earthquake-rela...

Abstract To explore in-plane shear failure mode of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel, this paper carried out relevant research work from the perspective stress analysis and combined with crack morphology specimen after planar shear. In study, load–displacement curve hemlock [ Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carrière] CLT was obtained by a three-point bending test or an improved test, vertical layer azim...

AIM The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the angle made by Frankfort horizontal plane-occlusal plane on maxillary casts, mounted using the respective facebows on Artex Amann Girrbach and Hanau Wide-vue semi-adjustable articulators with cephalometrically derived Frankfort horizontal plane-occlusal plane angle as a control. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Maxillary casts of 30 subjects wer...

In this paper, we consider the effect of cohesion on the stability of a granular heap and compute the maximum angle of stability of the heap as a function of the cohesion. We show that the stability is strongly affected by the dependence of the cohesion on the local pressure. In particular, this dependence is found to determine the localization of the failure plane. While for a constant adhesio...

PURPOSE This patient study was designed to measure the validity of both the horizontal and Camper's planes, which are used as benchmarks to reestablish the sagittal orientation of the occlusal plane angles in dental rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Profile digital photographs were made of the first 100 consenting dentate patients as they closed on an occlusal plane analyzer while maintai...
