A vertex with neighbours of degrees d1 ≥ · · · ≥ dr has vertex type (d1, . . . , dr). A graph is vertex-oblique if each vertex has a distinct vertex-type. While no graph can have distinct degrees, Schreyer, Walther and Mel’nikov [Vertex oblique graphs, same proceedings] have constructed infinite classes of super vertex-oblique graphs, where the degree-types of G are distinct even from the degre...

The superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome was first described by Brown (I950), who noted that many cases of apparent congenital paresis of the inferior oblique muscle had restricted elevation in adduction on passive duction testing. At operation he observed thickening of the anterior part of the superior oblique tendon sheath, and whern this was stripped away a full range of passive movements...

PURPOSE To develop a method that automatically corrects ghosting artifacts due to echo-misalignment in interleaved gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) in arbitrary oblique or double-oblique scan planes. MATERIALS AND METHODS An automatic ghosting correction technique was developed based on an alternating EPI acquisition and the phased-array ghost elimination (PAGE) reconstruction method. ...

PURPOSE To clarify the efficacy of a surgical strategy based on the superior oblique tendon traction test. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed between January 2002 and June 2015. During that period, a single inferior oblique muscle (IO) myectomy and a combined IO myectomy and superior oblique muscle (SO) tuck procedure were performed based on SO tendon looseness as revealed by ...

The decreased visibility of obliquely oriented patterns as compared to horizontal or vertical ones is termed the oblique effect. The origin of the oblique effect in the chain of visual processing was examined by comparing the potency of oblique adapting gratings to the potency of horizontal ones. Oblique gratings (which were less visible but of equal physical contrast) were as powerful or more ...

The oblique effect is a ubiquitous visual psychological effect. To explore its underlying neural basis, we quantitatively analyzed the proportion and response amplitude of the cardinal preferred areas and the oblique preferred areas in a fairly large region of the primary visual cortex of cats, using optical imaging based on intrinsic signals. The results show that cardinal preferred areas were...

the construction of fractional type of flatlet biorthogonal multiwavelet system is investigated in this paper. we apply this system as basis functions to solve the fractional differential and integro-differential equations. biorthogonality and high vanishing moments of this system are two major properties which lead to the good approximation for the solutions of the given problems. some test pr...
