introduction: aphasia is a common manifestation of stroke and evaluation of relationships of aphasia and brain topography could lead to better understanding of cognitive neurophysiology. methods: 100 stroke patients with aphasia admitted in valie-asr hospital, khorasan since april 2003 were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study. diagnosis of stroke and aphasia was made by a neurolo...

Membrane activities involve in important cell dynamics including locomotion, adhesion, endocytosis, etc [1]. Membrane topography and motion are also closely related to the configuration and structure of the underlying cytoskeletons. However, simultaneous observation of both the membrane topography and the intracellular cytoskeletons is difficult for a single instrument. The non-interferometric ...

Coating characteristics such as composition, crystallite features and topography collectively impact the cell response. The influence from splats has not yet been assessed for hydroxyapatite (HAp) thermal spray coatings. The objective of this work is to (a) survey the topography on commercial implants, (b) ascertain topography formation from single splats, and (c) determine the osteoclast resor...

Abstract Western boundary currents are hotspots of mesoscale variability and eddy–topography interactions, which channel energy toward smaller scales eventually down to dissipation. Here, we assess the main eddies sinks in Agulhas Current region from a regional numerical simulation. We derive an eddy kinetic ( ) budget framework vertical modes. It accounts for transfers between reservoirs modes...

Contour moiré pictures with good contrast of a full size living body are now available. Construction problems, performance, and accuracy of large instruments are experimentally studied. Techniques to minimize the drawbacks of the moiré contouring are developed. The system has been proved to be ready for practical application to full size living bodies.

R ivers develop on planetary bodies from the interplay of climate and topography. In planetary contexts, rivers and their effects are used to constrain shortand long-term climate models. However, rivers are also controlled by the shortand long-wavelength topography of the planetary surface. Rivers thus provide a means to constrain the generation of topography. On page 727 of this issue, Black e...

[1] Oblique convergence is the general rule along convergent boundaries. Such convergence produces asymmetric deformation (topography) along the collision boundary. To quantify this asymmetry, we develop a method that allows us to calculate the asymmetry in topography with respect to a reference line drawn perpendicular to the collision boundary. The asymmetry in topography is presented as a nu...

Materials and methods Retrospective, including 47 patients with IS treated exclusively with exercises. Mean age 18.64 ± 5.78 years. Outpatient Intensive Rehabilitation was carried out, three hours a day, five days a week, 4 weeks. Surface topography (Formetric) was performed to measure trunk imbalance, surface rotation and lateral deviation before and after the treatment period. The obtained pr...

the relationship between topography, soil factors, and distribution of ecological vegetation groups in the nodoushan arid rangelands of yazd province (iran) was investigated. the present species were recorded in each vegetation group using a randomized-systematic sampling method. plant cover and density were estimated quantitatively using the transect and quadrate methods, and the two-way indic...
