Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) and vehicle-integrated (VIPVs) receive solar irradiance through non-uniform shading objects. Standard scalar calculations cannot accurately determine the of BIPV VIPV systems. This study proposes a matrix model using an aperture to calculate horizontal vertical planes affected by can be extended on applying local coordinate system. The 3D is validated s...

OBJECTIVES Despite the modern advances in thyroid surgery, recurrent laryngeal nerve (rln) paralysis is still a critical problem. In order to decrease the rate of this complication, rln anatomy has been studied intensively. In our study, we aimed to recognize the relationship of rln and landmarks of the first tracheal ring. METHODS Eighty-six female and 18 male patients who were undergone tot...

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous subclavian vein catheterization is one of the most common invasive procedures performed in cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to compare left and right subclavian vein catheter placement via the infraclavicular approach in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS This prospective, randomized clinical trial was performed in193 ...

BACKGROUND Accessing the hippocampus for amygdalohippocampectomy and procedures such as depth electrode placement requires accurate knowledge regarding the location of the hippocampus. METHODS The authors removed 10 human cadaveric brains (20 sides) from their crania, noted relationships between the lateral temporal neocortex and underlying hippocampus, and measured the distance between the h...

in this study, it has been observed that the natural similarity of the blood flow to both kidneys, despite the differences of length of the right and left renal arteries, is due to the angle of distribution of these arteries. this angle has been determined to be of 66.7 degrees for the left renal artery and only 51.5 degrees for the right renal artery, in their normal anatomical aspects.

An elderly patient with asymptomatic bilateral Bochdalek hernias is reported. The chest roentogenogram showed dome-shaped supradiaphragmatic masses about 6 cm in diameter in the posteromedial regions of both sides of the lungs. Computed tomography showed a discontinuity of the lines of diaphragmatic musculature in the left thorax, and a mass with a homogenous low density area indicative of fatt...

Let X be a standard Gaussian random variable. For any p ∈ (1, ∞), we prove the existence of universal constant Cp > 0 such that inequality $${\mathbb{E}\left({\left| {{h^\prime }{{\left(X \right)}^p}} \right|} \right)^{1/p}} \ge {C_p}\sqrt d {\left({\mathbb{E}{{\left| {h\left(X \right)} \right|}^p}} \right)^{1/p}}$$ holds for all ≥ 1 and polynomials h: ℝ → ℂ whose spectrum is supported on frequ...

Abstract Objectives: It is important to know the exact location and anatomic variety of inferior alveolar nerve canal for different procedures of mandibular surgeries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate inferior mandibular canal’s anatomic position by Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Methods: In a cross sectional study, CBCT were taken and assessed from 130 patients (...

PURPOSE We evaluated trunk muscle recruitment in abdominal and back exercises with magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted imaging. METHODS Twelve men performed bent-knee sit-up, crunch, trunk lateral flexion, and trunk extension exercises. We obtained axial diffusion-weighted images of the trunk before and after each exercise using a 1.5-tesla MR system, calculated apparent diffusion coef...
