We describe the prevalence and treatment of glaucoma in a Muslim Arab population in Israel. Based on the medical records of 15 122 persons, the overall prevalence of glaucoma was 3.9%. Prevalence rates of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) were 3.0% and 0.42%, respectively. Prevalence rates of women were 135% that of men considering all types of glaucom...

For the past 50 years, the Ramachandran map has been used effectively to study the protein structure and folding. However, though extensive analysis has been done on dihedral angle preferences of residues in globular proteins, related studies and reports of membrane proteins are limited. It is of interest to explore the conformational preferences of residues in transmembrane regions of membrane...

To help elucidate the role of secondary structure packing preferences in protein folding, here we present an analysis of the packing geometry observed between alpha-helices and between alpha-helices and beta-sheets in 1316 diverse, nonredundant protein structures. Finite-length vectors were fit to the alpha-carbon atoms in each of the helices and strands, and the packing angle between the vecto...

Abstract Introduction Sagittal skeletal discrepancies are frequently assessed by Wits appraisal and point A–Nasion–point B (ANB) angle. These angular linear measurements depend upon various factors sometime produced inaccurate results. Beta angle has been introduced recently possesses significant advantage over ANB appraisal, because it is independent of cranial landmarks dental occlusion. Aim ...

The preparation and formation mechanism of n-hexadecane/water emulsions using natural beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and chemically modified beta-CDs (triacylated beta-cyclodextrins) as an emulsifier were investigated. The stable water/oil (W/O) emulsion was formed using tripropanoyl-beta-CD (TP-beta-CD). From observation using the contact angle (theta(ow)) of precipitates derived from CD, it was ...

Let X be a complex projective manifold and let $$D\subset X$$ smooth divisor. In this article, we are interested in studying limits when $$\beta \rightarrow 0$$ of Kähler–Einstein metrics $$\omega _\beta $$ with cone singularity angle $$2\pi \beta along D. our first result, assume that $$X\setminus D$$ is locally symmetric space show converges to the metric further give asymptotics ball quotien...

We consider neutrino oscillations and neutrinoless double beta decay in a five dimensional standard model with warped geometry. Although the seesaw mechanism in its simplest form cannot be implemented because of the warped geometry, the bulk standard model neutrinos can acquire the desired (Majorana) masses from dimension five interactions. We discuss how large mixings can arise, why the large ...
