OBJECTIVES Successful aortic valve repair must normalize cusp and root dimensions. Limited information is available on the normal dimensions of human cusps, in particular the cusp height. METHODS The cusp height was measured intraoperatively in 621 patients during aortic valve repair procedures. A tricuspid anatomy was present in 329 patients and bicuspid in 286 patients. In addition, patient...

This document describes the current ADAGE domain model for data source objects and navigation system software. We present models of the DSO and navigation software used in SOA (Special Operations Aircraft) and CT2 (Combat Talon II) as applications of the model.

Earth's cusp proton aurora occurs near the prenoon and is primarily produced by the precipitation of solar energetic (2-10 keV) protons. Cusp auroral precipitation provides a direct source of energy for the high-latitude dayside upper atmosphere, contributing to chemical composition change and global climate variability. Previous studies have indicated that magnetic reconnection allows solar en...

This document presents a provisional domain model for radio navigation data source objects, radio navigation, guidance, and flight director software. We use the model to describe relevant portions of the SOA (Special Operations Aircraft) and CT2 (Combat Talon II) as a first-order validations.

Cusp properties during periods of By dominant IMF are investigated, since previous studies focus mostly on IMF Bz. The model-data comparisons for various IMF configurations show that the model captures the large-scale features of the particle precipitation very well, not only in the cusp region, but also in other open-field line regions such as the mantle, polar rain, and openfield line low-alt...

conclusions the clinical success rates of endodontically treated premolars restored with fiber posts and direct composite restorations, direct composite restorations with cusp capping and simple direct composite restoration were perfect after one year of follow-up evaluation. background endodontically treated teeth need to be restored in a manner to provide protection for the remaining tooth st...

if we accept this idea that in talking about art, there is a chasm between thought and unthought debating on art theory in the sociohistorical context of after revolutionary iran requires at least two items in which understanding and creating art meet one another: 1) art as door separates intelligible from sensible, rational from irrational, and logos from pathos as well and 2) art as bridge no...
