OBJECTIVE The study was performed to compare the 3D pharyngeal airway dimensions in adult skeletal Class II patients with different vertical growth patterns (low, normal, and high angle) and to investigate whether the upper airway dimensions of untreated skeletal Class II adults were affected by vertical skeletal variables. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) records of 64 untreated ...

The horizontal and vertical dimensions of individualism and collectivism are an important characteristic of cultures. These dimensions have many implications for the ways in which individual learners use and respond to interactive technologies. This article reports on a study that investigated the impact of culture, specifically horizontal individualism (HI), vertical individualism (VI), horizo...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the transverse and vertical dimensions of the palate of children with allergic rhinitis (ar). there was no significant difference for intermolar and intercanine distances between two groups in primary and mixed dentitions. palate depth in children with allergic rhinitis was statistically more than in children without any respiratory disease. cross bite ...

Background: The determination of the vertical occlusion dimensions is one most important aspects in treatment edentulous patients. A widely discussed biometric indicator that suggested for interpupillary distance.The aim this research was to study relationship between distance and dimension among individuals with natural dentition. Material methods: Subjects observation were100 representatives ...

The vertical dimensions of the well-characterized test samples tobacco mosaic virus, T4 bacteriophage polyhead, purple membrane, and hexagonally packed intermediate (HPI) layer were investigated by tapping mode scanning force microscopy (SFM) in solution. Purple membrane and HPI layer were imaged in both contact mode and tapping mode SFM for direct comparison. All vertical dimensions match the ...

The equation that describes the relationship between the applied voltage and the resulting electrostatic force within comb drives is often used to assist in choosing the dimensions for their design. This paper re-examines how some of these dimensions-particularly the cross-sectional dimensions of the comb teeth-affect this relationship in vertical comb drives. The electrostatic forces in severa...
