A higher order boundary element method (HOBEM) is presented for inviscid flow passing a lifting body. In addition to the integral equation used velocity potential, similar derived and tangential on body surface. Higher elements are discretize surface, which ensures continuity of slope at nodes. The potential also expanded using shape function, in unknown coefficients involve velocity. expansion...

Attention is drawn to the possibility of performing monocular indirect ophthalmoscopy with a pen torch and a condensing lens when facilities for binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy are not available.

The Robust Robust Generalized Methods of Moments (RGMM) and the Indirect Robust GMM (IRGMM) are algorithms for estimating parameter values in statistical models, such as diffusion models for interest rates, in a robust way. The long computation time is one of the main challenge facing these methods. In this paper, we introduce accelerated variants of RGMM and IRGMM. The fixed point iteration in...

The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate both shear bond strength (SBS) by shear testing of indirectly bonded brackets, and the accuracy of a new transfer method, the Aptus bonding device (ABD). For comparison, the SBS of directly bonded brackets in two experimental arrangements was also measured. The precision of the positioning of the indirect bracket transfer was assessed by photogr...
