The septum was pressed into the left cavity* touching the external wall and blocking the passage on that side also. Externally the tumour was flush with the edges of the anterior nares, the four-anna sized surface which was exposed being...

—We propose the concept of Gap Between Displays (GBD) as a component of immersion in virtual environment systems. We hypothesized that GBD may reduce users' task performance in some cases, and choosing appropriate stimuli in GBD can alleviate its negative effects. We performed two empirical experiments to test the two hypotheses. Using a four-screen CAVE™ as the experiment platform, we carefull...

Aim: Neck hanging is one of the most lethal suicide methods. The morbidity and mortality due to hanging is usually associated with neck’s structure injury attached to a fall from height, venous obstruction and cerebral hypoxia time. Mortality is usually caused by respiratory failure in patients who recovered from hanging. In this study, we aimed to investigate effective factors on mortality in ...
