Superimposition has been used as a method to evaluate the changes of orthodontic or orthopedic treatment in the dental field. With the introduction of cone beam CT (CBCT), evaluating 3 dimensional changes after treatment became possible by superimposition. 4 point plane orientation is one of the simplest ways to achieve superimposition of 3 dimensional images. To find factors influencing superi...

Issues of load combinations of earthquakes and heavy trucks are important contents in multihazards bridge design. Current load resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications usually treat extreme hazards alone and have no probabilistic basis in extreme load combinations. Earthquake load and heavy truck load are considered as random processes with respective characteristics, and the maximum comb...

Handwriting is, eventually, a variation of the printed forms where characters are little larger, smaller, angled and deformed than forms. The small changes in handwriting define parameters character to be recognized. Handwritten numeral recognition (HNR) poses significant challenges due deformations other variations. This study proposes new notion HNR on hypothesis that handwritten numerals dis...

micrornas (mirnas) are short, endogenous non-coding rnas that function as guide molecules to regulate transcription of their target messenger rnas. several methods including low-density qpcr arrays are being increasingly used to profile the expression of these molecules in a variety of different biological conditions. reliable analysis of expression profiles demands removal of technical variati...

Orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons have always been interested to quantify the influence of orthodontic and/or orthognathic surgery treatment on craniofacial morphology. Historically, superimpositions of cephalometric radiographs have been used to study growth and treatment effects. In recent years advances in 3D imaging techniques have led to their widespread use for setting treatment go...

Given the denotational semantics of a programming language, we describe a general method to extend the language in a way that it supports a form of superimposition — just in the sense of aspect-oriented programming. In the extended language, the programmer can superimpose additional or alternative functionality (aka advice) onto points along the execution of a program. Adding superimposition to...
