PURPOSE To obtain information about scleral thickness in different ocular regions and its associations. METHODS The histomorphometric study included 238 human globes which had been enucleated because of choroidal melanomas or due to secondary angle-closure glaucoma. Using light microscopy, anterior-posterior pupil-optic nerve sections were measured. RESULTS In the non-axially elongated grou...

BACKGROUND The quality of reduction of the syndesmosis is an important factor in the outcome of ankle fractures associated with a syndesmotic injury. The purpose of this study was to directly compare the accuracy of syndesmotic reductions obtained using intraoperative standard fluoroscopic techniques against reductions obtained using three-dimensional imaging of the Iso-C3D fluoroscope. METHO...

The instance segmentation can be considered an extension of the object detection problem where bounding boxes are replaced by object contours. Strictly speaking the problem requires to identify each pixel instance and class independently of the artifice used for this mean. The advantage of instance segmentation over the usual object detection lies in the precise delineation of objects improving...

Here we propose that there is a lot of heat producing elements U and Th in the Earth’s outer core. The heat released from them is the major energy source for driving the material movement within Earth's interior, including plate motion. According to seismic tomography, the hottest area is the mantle under the central Pacific Ocean. Combined with geomagnetic data, it is derived that the magnetic...
