INTRODUCTION Moebius syndrome is a rare disease characterized by unilateral or bilateral congenital nonprogressive facial nerve palsy along with limitation of ocular abductions. Vertical Rectus Transpositions with posterior fixation suture is known to correct abduction deficiencies in case of Moebius syndrome. Traditionally both superior and inferior rectus transposition are done to prevent any...

Poland syndrome is characterized by unilateral absence or hypoplasia of the pectoralis muscle and variable degree of ipsilateral hand anomalies. Möbius syndrome is a congenital neurological disorder characterized by complete or partial facial paralysis. Although the pathogeneses of these diseases are not well-characterized, diminished blood flow to the affected side is thought to play a role. A...

Mobius Microsystems is a fabless and intellectual property (IP) semiconductor company founded by a graduate student (McCorquodale) and his faculty advisor (Brown) and based upon the dissertation research conducted by the student. The company is presented by the founding researchers as a case study in the commercialization of graduate research in electrical engineering. While a previous paper by...

Abstract. The Mobius model building system is a new open-source framework for fast and flexible environmental models. makes it possible researchers with limited programming experience to build performant models potentially complicated structures. can be easily interacted through the MobiView graphical user interface Python language. was initially developed support catchment-scale hydrology wate...

HALOGENATED anesthetic agents have been associated with perioperative liver dysfunction and injury. Most cases of hepatotoxicity reported involve halothane exposure. Halothane produces two types of hepatotoxicity. A mild, transient syndrome with modest increases in transaminase enzymes occurs in 20% of patients given halothane. A more severe and fulminant hepatitis with marked liver dysfunction...

Photonic crystal slabs are a versatile and important platform for molding the flow of light. In this thesis, we consider ways to control the emission of light from photonic crystal slab structures, specifically focusing on directional, asymmetric emission, and on emitting light with interesting topological features. First, we develop a general coupled-mode theory formalism to derive bounds on t...
