Body tilt effects on the visual reproduction of orientations and the Class 2 oblique effect (E. A. Essock, 1980) were examined. Body tilts indicate whether the oblique effect (i.e., lower performance in oblique orientations than in vertical-horizontal orientations) is defined in an egocentric or a gravitational reference frame. Results showed that the oblique effect observed in upright posture ...

In recent years, oblique aerial images of urban regions have become increasingly popular for 3D city modeling, texturing, and various cadastral applications. In contrast to images taken vertically to the ground, they provide information on building heights, appearance of facades, and terrain elevation. Despite their widespread availability for many cities, the processing pipeline for oblique im...

The present research addresses the question of the "oblique effect" (better discrimination of the vertical orientation than of an oblique orientation) in manual haptic perception of orientations (without visual control) by 5-month-old infants. A familiarization/reaction to novelty procedure was used. The results revealed the occurrence of a haptic oblique effect. These findings are similar to t...

Oblique transition can be triggered by introducing componentwise optimal perturbations into a plane Couette flow. It is shown that in the middle stage of transition, oblique vortices are generated again through transient spanwise velocity energy growth presence developed streamwise streaks. In following stage, independent kinetic energies cross-streamwise velocities intensified due to nonlinear...

frothers havea profoundeffectonbubble size and also flotation efficiency. in present study the effect of type and dosage of frothers on the flotation response of coarse particles of quartz was investigated.  therefore, flotation response of coarse particles using frothers such as mibc, pine oil, poly propylene glycol with concentration of 0, 25, 50 and 75 g/t, was obtained respectively. for all...

Previous research indicated that 4-month-old infants perceive continuity of objects moving on horizontal trajectories but appear to have difficulty processing occlusion events involving oblique trajectories. However, because perception of continuity of vertical trajectories has not been tested, it is uncertain whether this indicates a specific deficit for oblique trajectories or a specific adva...

PURPOSE To develop and test a method for automatically calculating the in-plane rotation for doubly-oblique slice geometry in order to minimize wrap artifacts for a given FOV. MATERIALS AND METHODS The equations for in-plane rotation were formulated for doubly-oblique imaging of a cylindrical body with elliptical cross-section. Based on this formulation, automatic in-plane rotation was implem...

A reexamination is made of one-loop oblique electroweak corrections. General definitions are given of the oblique parameters without reference to any q-expansion scheme. The old oblique parameters S,T and U are defined as differences of gauge boson vacuum polarization Π-functions and suffice to describe certain observable ratios on the Z-peak and the ρ parameter at q = 0. Regarding the new obli...

To identify ARIX gene and PHOX2B gene polymorphisms in patients with congenital superior oblique muscle palsy, 3 exons of the ARIX gene and PHOX2B gene were sequenced by genomic DNA amplification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing in 31 patients with congenital superior oblique muscle palsy and in 54 normal individuals. A family with a father and one daughter each having...

BACKGROUND Inguinal herniotomy is the most common surgery performed by pediatric surgeons. AIM To compare the results and complications between two conventional methods of pediatric inguinal herniotomy with and without incising external oblique aponeurosis in terms of recurrence of hernia and other complications. METHODS This one blinded clinical trial study was conducted on 800 patients wi...
