The tree-layout problem is to compute the coordinates of nodes of a tree so that the tree, when drawn on a piece of paper, appeals to human understanding. The tree-layout problem, which seems inherently sequential at the first glance, can be solved by a data-parallel algorithm. It takes O (height * log width ) time on width pro33333333333333333333333333333 This work was supported in part by Nat...

This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract Idealized large-eddy simulations were performed to investigate the impact of different mountain geometries on daytime pollution transport by thermally driven winds. The main objective was to determine interactions bet...

BACKGROUND Mouth breathing may affect facial form and the positions of the teeth. OBJECTIVES To determine whether the increased dentoalveolar and facial heights found in mouth breathing children with enlarged adenoids are maintained following adenoidectomy and changed mode of breathing from mouth to nose. METHODS The subjects were Swedish children, either mouth breathers with nasal obstruct...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare nostril height, width, collumelar length, interalar distance and nostril symetry between unilateral complete cleft lip/palate patients undergoing nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) and incomplete cleft lip patients/palate with no need of presurgical moulding before and after cheiloplasty with primary nasal correction. Our study group included 18 patients...

background: palmaris longus (pl) is a muscle with marked variations. it is harvested as a tendon graft in many surgical proceduresin which a certain length of tendon is required. the aims of the present study were to determine the variations of this tendon in iranian population and to find whether the length of pl tendon could be estimated by measuring the forearm length and height.   methods: ...

AIM This study aimed to identify and establish the facial and smile proportions in young adults and to compare the results with ideal or divine proportions, compare the proportions of males and females included in our study population and compare them with those established for Caucasian and Japanese populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred participants (164 females, 36 males) with Angl...
