An array of 42 μm square, 3 μm thick garnet particles has been studied. The strong crystalline uniaxial anisotropy of these particles results in the stable remanent state being single domain with magnetization parallel to the film normal. Magnetooptic measurements of individual particles provide distribution statistics for the easy-axis switching field Hsw, and the in-plane hard-axis effective ...

PURPOSE To quantify motion sensitivity in patients with infantile esotropia who, as a subgroup, have been previously reported to have abnormal oculomotor control. In addition, to probe abnormal binocular development as a factor underlying abnormal motion perception in infantile esotropia (IE), motion sensitivity was compared among participants with and without stereopsis. METHODS Monocular se...

Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of a selected -irradiated human tooth enamel fragment expressed anisotropy that increased considerably after thermal annealing. By repeated irradiation, the spectrum of the fragment approached the disoriented (powder type) spectrum, but repeated thermal treating restored the anisotropy. The anisotropy is characteristic of an ensemble of hydroxyapatite nan...

PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the efficacy of diffusion tensor imaging in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome and to obtain a quantitative parameter that may contribute to the diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The median nerves in 57 wrists of 38 patients diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome and 30 wrists of 24 normal subjects were prospectively evaluated with a 3T Philips scanner, using ...

Naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. The main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random field theory coupled with finite difference numerical analysis to evaluate their effect on the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations. In t...

the seismic anisotropy is a subject of interest for seismologists and geologists. the information of seismic anisotropy has significant role in geology interpretations (savage, 1999). in this study, we have investigated the upper crust anisotropy in bam area by means of shear wave splitting sg phase. we have selected more than three hundred aftershocks from iiees local temporary seismic network...
