In the present research, behavior of SPSPs with two rectangular openings and effect of strengthening different subpanels with various stiffener arrangements is investigated. In the next step, to investigate the effect of changing opening width on the trend of degradation shear stiffness and strength of the panel, the opening width is changed. In the third step, to study the effect of changing o...

So far it has only been possible to detect horizontal and vertical eye movements during real time; torsional eye movements have to be calculated from video-tape that have been processed several times, and each investigation takes considerable time. We developed a real time binocular infra red video eye tracker for routine clinical examination which allows real time graphical visualization of ho...

The paper discusses some trends in end user programming (EUP) and takes inspiration from the discussions in a panel and in a vertical session on research evaluation within the second Search Computing workshop. We discuss the controversial successes and failures in this field and we elaborate on which facilities could foster adoption of end user programming. We discuss various dimensions of end ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transverse and vertical dimensions of the palate of children with allergic rhinitis (AR). There was no significant difference for intermolar and intercanine distances between two groups in primary and mixed dentitions. Palate depth in children with allergic rhinitis was statistically more than in children without any respiratory disease. Cross bite ...

We construct multi-center solutions for charged, dilatonic, non-extremal black holes in D = 4. When an infinite array of such non-extremal black holes are aligned periodically along an axis, the configuration becomes independent of this coordinate, which can therefore be used for Kaluza-Klein compactification. This generalises the vertical dimensional reduction procedure to include non-extremal...

Modeling the transport of trace gases is an essential part of any atmospheric model. The tracer transport scheme in the Community Atmosphere Model finite-volume dynamical core (CAM-FV), which is part of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s (NCAR’s) Community Earth System Model (CESM1), is investigated using multidimensional idealized advection tests. CAM-FV’s tracer transport algorith...

Sequence learning is common to all motor systems and is an essential aspect of human behavior necessary for the acquisition of motor skill. Many previous studies have demonstrated the ability to observe, store, and repeat sequences in a variety of modalities resulting in reduced reaction time. Recently, it has been found that subjects can make predictive smooth eye movements to a sequence of di...

We made flattened neuroepithelial preparations of horizontal and vertical (anterior and posterior) cristae from mouse, rat, gerbil, guinea pig, chinchilla, and tree squirrel. Calretinin immunohistochemistry was used to label the calyx class of afferents. Because these afferents are restricted to the central zone of the crista, their distribution allowed us to delineate this zone. In addition to...

BACKGROUND/AIM The Periotest method is a technique for the objective assessment of tooth mobility. The aims of this study were to determine normal Periotest values in the vertical and horizontal dimensions of periodontally healthy teeth in individuals aged 20-35 years and investigate the reliability of Periotest in terms of intra-series and inter-series reproducibility before and after applying...
