Objective The hand is a body part which is constantly in view thus the second toe-to-thumb transfer needs to be aesthetically pleasing. Our study measures the absolute values of second toes, big toes, thumbs and their nails with regards to their width, length and circumference and analyses the ratios of between these relative values. With this anatomical data we intend to discover a way to enha...

â  using of prediction models is one of the methods of financial performance prediction. financial ratios are employed as predictive variable in prediction models. the main purpose of this study is to compare the incremental information content of accrual and cash ratios for prediction and evaluation of the financial performance of business entities by data mining models. in align with research...

sedimentation is one of the most important problems in harbors that results in considerable economic costs. harbor planforms affects the flow pattern in the harbor basin and consequently, plays an important role in sediment transport and sedimentation. in the present study, a two dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic and sediment transport model has been developed to investigate the effect of...

We examine the electronic width ratios of Υ resonances below the BB̄ threshold by means of an effective (Cornelltype) QCD potential incorporating 1/mb corrections obtained from a prior fit to the bottomonium spectrum. From our analysis we conclude that the Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) states should belong to the strong-coupling (nonperturbative) regime while the Υ(1S) state should belong to the weak-coupling...

Venusian lava channels have meander dimensions that relate to their mode of formation. Their meander properties generally follow terrestrial river trends of wavelength (L) to width (W) ratios, suggesting an equilibrium adjustment of channel form. Slightly higher L/W for many Venusian channels in comparison to terrestrial rivers may relate to nonaqueous flow processes. The unusually low L/W valu...

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...

Methods for measuring latency contrasts are evaluated against a new method utilizing the Dynamic Time Warping algorithm. They are applied on simulated data, for different signal to noise ratios and two sizes of window (broad vs narrow). The results are subjected to statistical and ROC analysis. The analysis suggests that DTW performs better than the other methods, being less sensitive to noise ...

We study the semileptonic decay of $B_c (0^-)$ to charmonia through bottom-to-charm-quark electroweak current in framework basis light-front quantization. Explicitly, we calculate weak transition form factors for processes $B_c$ decaying into $\eta_c$ or $J/\psi$ based on corresponding initial and final valence wave functions both obtained from also present differential width branching ratios, ...

The content of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur was measured in individual cells from 6 native aquatic samples and 4 samples of cultured bacteria by X-ray microanalysis using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The molar C N:P ratio for the pooled sample was 50:lO:l From length and width measurements of unfixed air-dried cells we estimated cell volumes over a total range of...
