The diaphragm is an important respiratory organ. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the longitudinal deformation of the right hemidiaphragm in normal subjects using two-dimensional strain ultrasound speckle tracking. Twenty-one healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. GE Healthcare Vivid E9 equipment with M5S probe and Q-analysis software were used. Negative strain values...

Although different web sites structure their pages differently, the pages within a single site are often generated from a database and have a regular layout from which it is possible to extract information automatically. Dome is a visual tool for manipulating tree-structured documents. It can import and export in XML or HTML formats, making it ideal for harvesting information from web pages. Ed...

A strategic audit is an objective review and evaluation of a plan (or set plans) that have been put into motion by senior leaders key stakeholders designed to meet organization’s future objective. [CMOE, 2023] How such executed will direct impact on the ultimate value exercise. In this paper, we examine discuss structure audit, context in which conducted, frequency audits application ...

This study investigated the wind pressure characteristics of an elliptical plan retractable dome roof. Wind tunnel experiments were performed on roofs with varying wall height-to-span ratios (0.1–0.5) and opening (0, 10, 30, 50 %), where ratio was defined as open area roof to total The resulting peak coefficients closed then compared those Japanese load code (AIJ-RLB (2015)) there are no curren...

Nowadays, the architect is moving away from concept of structure system and engineer form. Mimar Sinan’s works which left mark on 16th century, are good examples considering, analyzing, evaluating these two disciplines together. The structural art was put forward established towards end 20th rather than a pure art, centralizing principles economy, efficiency elegance in design. This offers new ...

In the 16th century Society of Jesus built a large number churches following Tridentine model Latin cross and single nave. However, shift towards this did not entail abandonment central floor plan, especially in 17th century. The acoustics these spaces can present phenomena linked to focalizations which increase sound pressure level. church San Luis de los Franceses, by Jesuits for their noviti...

Osteochondral lesions of the talar dome are commonly the result of ankle trauma. While the technique of surgical repair of ankle fractures has been well reported, there are no studies that correlate the presence or absence of talar dome lesions. A possible explanation for this may be lack of intraoperative inspection of the talar articular surface. This retrospective study evaluates the inciden...

The best ground-based astronomical sites in terms of telescope sensitivity at infrared and submillimeter wavelengths are located on the Antarctic Plateau, where high atmospheric transparency and low sky emission are obtained because of the extremely cold and dry air; these benefits are well characterized at the South Pole station. The relative advantages offered by three potentially superior si...

The author uses a dome-binding suture to reform the heavy appearance of the boxy nasal tip by reshaping the convex lower lateral cartilage into a more refined concave shape. This procedure is performed with a straight needle and permanent suture, undermining of dome mucosa, meticulous contamination prevention, and incremental lowering of the unitized dome height for tip refinement. (Aesthetic S...
