Observations of the Caspian Sea during August-September 1995 are used to develop a three-dimensional numerical model to be used in calculating temperature and current. The model has variable grid resolution and horizontal smoothing that filters out small scale vertical motion. Data from the meteorological buoy network on the Caspian Sea are combined with routine observations at first-order syno...

unlike the classical deformation analysis of the earth crust, which derives the planar and vertical strains separately, in this study, we have offered a method for 3-d deformation study based on intrinsic geometry of the manifolds on the topographic surface of the earth. in this way, our method would be based on the 2-d metric tensor of horizontal deformation and 2-d curvature tensor of vertica...

We measured stereoscopic slant detection thresholds for surfaces slanting about a horizontal or a vertical axis. For random-dot covered surfaces, 1.25 deg of slant was required to detect slant about a horizontal axis, whereas 2.1 deg of slant was required to detect slant about a vertical axis. This anisotropy could be due to the fact that orientation disparities, which contain information about...

Surface roughness measurement is widely used to estimate the quality of the product during manufacturing processes. It has a great importance in manufacturing fields such as ceramic tiles, glass, and iron. Many are using surface profile-meter with a contact stylus to measure the surface roughness of work piece. In the stylus method, a stylus is moved along the surface and the vertical movement ...

We investigated whether vertical-shear disparity was extracted from the whole visual field or from a more local area and how global estimates of vertical disparity are derived. We also investigated the role of cyclovergence in processing shear disparity. Random-dot stereoscopic displays in various configurations were presented with horizontal-shear disparity, vertical-shear disparity or same-si...

The application of the seismic reflection method is often limited in complex terrain areas. The problem is the incorrect correction of time-shifts caused by topography. To apply normal moveout (NMO) correction to reflection data correctly, static corrections are necessary to be applied in advance for the compensation of the time distortions of topography and the time-delays from near-surface we...

A 40-day-old male Holstein breed calf with a complaint of inability of moving the tongue in and out aswell as difficulties with breastfeeding was referred to the veterinary clinic. A notch in the middle of thetongue tip was evident during oral examination. In addition, a thin tissue band between the ventral surface of the tongue and floor of the oral cavity was seen in the calf. A diagnosis of ...

Aim: was to assess the effects of Ramadan observance upon repeated sprints and associated inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Methods: Ten young trained boxers were tested during a control period (C), at the end of the first week (R-1), and during the fourth week of Ramadan observance (R-4). On each occasion, they performed three vertical jumps, 10 x 6 s repeated sprints on a cycle erg...
