PURPOSE To clarify the efficacy of a surgical strategy based on the superior oblique tendon traction test. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed between January 2002 and June 2015. During that period, a single inferior oblique muscle (IO) myectomy and a combined IO myectomy and superior oblique muscle (SO) tuck procedure were performed based on SO tendon looseness as revealed by ...

Abstract This paper uncovers new manifestations of the homoclinic snaking mechanism in post-buckling regime a pressurized thin cylindrical shell under axial load. These forms tend to propagate either wholly or partially direction that is orthogonal applied load and so, unlike earlier Woods & Champneys (1999, Heteroclinic tangles unfolding degenerate Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. Phys. D, 12...

The decreased visibility of obliquely oriented patterns as compared to horizontal or vertical ones is termed the oblique effect. The origin of the oblique effect in the chain of visual processing was examined by comparing the potency of oblique adapting gratings to the potency of horizontal ones. Oblique gratings (which were less visible but of equal physical contrast) were as powerful or more ...

The oblique effect is a ubiquitous visual psychological effect. To explore its underlying neural basis, we quantitatively analyzed the proportion and response amplitude of the cardinal preferred areas and the oblique preferred areas in a fairly large region of the primary visual cortex of cats, using optical imaging based on intrinsic signals. The results show that cardinal preferred areas were...

the construction of fractional type of flatlet biorthogonal multiwavelet system is investigated in this paper. we apply this system as basis functions to solve the fractional differential and integro-differential equations. biorthogonality and high vanishing moments of this system are two major properties which lead to the good approximation for the solutions of the given problems. some test pr...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of the slow speed-targeting squat exercise on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio. [Subjects] Ten asymptomatic men were recruited. [Methods] The EMG activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles were recorded using surface electrodes. The subject performed the squat exercise under 3 different conditions. [Resu...

We solve a difficult problem involving velocity and acceleration components along oblique axes, and propose two problems of central force motion to be solved using oblique axes.
