BACKGROUND There are controversial evidences on the association between fingerprint traits and schizophrenia. We compared fingerprint traits of patients with schizophrenia and normal individuals in Iranian population. METHODS Finger tip dermal ridge of 290 patients with schizophrenia and 290 normal subjects were studied for four dermal traits. Data was analyzed with Pearson correlation and st...

information about how to manage the extraction socket with regenerative techniques (Barone et al, 2008). This will simplify and lead to more predictable placement of implants in the most ideal position (Cardaropoli, Araújo, Lindhe, 2003; Cardaropoli et al, 2005). The results of a recent study show that acellular dermal matrix (ADM), used as membrane associated with an inorganic bovine-derived h...

In this paper, a novel circularly polarized (CP) ridge-waveguide slotted antenna array is proposed for vehicle used Satcom on the Move (SOTM) applications. The designed closely following required factors generating circular polarization. constructed symmetrical single-ridge waveguide. Each element consists of pair inclined slots opened narrow walls, and longitudinal bottom U-shaped wall are abl...

Hawkins and Yin (Comput. Statist. Data Anal. 40 (2002) 253) describe an algorithm for ridge regression of reduced rank data, i.e. data where p, the number of variables, is larger than n, the number of observations. Whereas a direct implementation of ridge regression in this setting requires calculations of order O(np2 + p3), their algorithm uses only calculations of order O(np2). In this paper,...

[1] We present 2D and 3D numerical simulations of convection to test the role of shear heating and fracture zones on Europan ridge formation. Our simulations show that a pre-existing fracture zone promotes upwelling and lithospheric thinning, leading to topographic uplift of 50 m. Shear heating also promotes lithospheric thinning and buoyant ascent, producing a ridge-like feature with topograph...
