Scanlines for a slice progress from left to right on the horizontal axis. Slices of a frame are top to bottom on the vertical axis.. 2.13 Ray intersections with volume (a) Viewing plane is aligned with the XY plane (b) Viewing plane is at an angle from the XY

Konstantinos Kontogiannis, András Sóbester University of Southampton, Southampton, UK Nigel Taylor MBDA, Filton, UK Nomenclature ICFA = Internal Conical Flow A α = osculating plane angle to the vertical axis β = effective shockwave angle γ = angle between shockwave profile and upper surface profile curve θ = inclination of the leading edge with respect to the horizontal plane λ = effective swee...

Morimoto and Aokata [J. Acoust. Soc. Jpn. (E), 5, 165–173 (1984)] clarified that the same directional bands observed on the median plane by Blauert occur in any sagittal plane parallel to the median plane. Based upon this observation, they hypothesized that the spectral cues that help to determine the vertical angle of a sound image may function commonly in any sagittal plane. If this hypothesi...

We analyze active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of functionally graded (FG) shells under a thermal environment using vertically and obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezocomposites (PZCs) and investigate the performance of PZCs as materials for the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment. The shell’s deformations are analyzed by using a modified first-order shear deformation theory and the finite e...

The purpose of this study of 103 patients was to present a statistical analysis of the relationship between the size of the preadenoid space and the measurements that determine the vertical and anterior-posterior relationship between the maxilla and the mandible, which could disturb the facial type. This study also analyzes the relationship of mouth breathing with the measurements that determin...

This article reports the orthodontic treatment ofa 25-year-old female patient whose chief complaint was the inclination of the maxillary occlusal plane in front view. The individualized vertical placement of brackets is described. This placement made possible a symmetrical occlusal plane to be achieved in a rather straightforward manner without the need for further technical resources.

The theory of plane-wave prediction in three dimensions is described by Claerbout (1993, 1997). Predicting a local plane wave with T -X filters amounts to finding a pair of twodimensional filters for two orthogonal planes in the 3-D space. Each of the filters predicts locally straight lines in the corresponding plane. The system of two 2-D filters is sufficient for predicting all but purely ver...

Visual stimuli that exhibit vertical symmetry are easier to remember than stimuli symmetric along other axes, an advantage that extends to the haptic modality as well. Critically, the vertical symmetry memory advantage has not been found in early blind individuals, despite their overall superior memory, as compared with sighted individuals, and the presence of an overall advantage for identifyi...

We exhibit a relation between folds and a tile of the plane. More precisely, given a -nite word coding vertical and horizontal folds we give a necessary and su/cient condition in order to tile the plane with a set of tiles constructed with copies of the unfold surface. c © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
