[1] Recent observations of ridge bathymetry suggest magmatic segmentation at fastand intermediatespreading centers is linked to the migration of the spreading axis over the mantle. At fastand intermediatespreading centers, Carbotte et al. (2004) observed that leading segments, those that are offset in the direction of ridge migration, are typically shallower (interpreted to be magmatically robu...

The examination of friction ridge impressions and the resulting conclusions are based on ridge flow and ridge paths; the location, direction, and spatial relationships of minutiae; ridge structure; or pores. The analysis phase leads to the determination of suitability. Following comparison, the evaluation phase leads to the following conclusions: individualization, exclusion, or inconclusive. T...

Ridge width influences the number of ridges present in a specified area of a fingerprint epidermal ridge density and several researches have been carried out on this aspect of fingerprints. The present study has been carried out to examine ridge density differences in two Northern Indian populations (Khatri and Bania). In the present study it has been found that 92% of Khatri females have a mea...

Methods of incorporating a ridge type of regularization into partial redundancy analysis (PRA), constrained redundancy analysis (CRA), and partial and constrained redundancy analysis (PCRA) were discussed. The usefulness of ridge estimation in reducing MSE (mean square error) has been recognized in multiple regression analysis for some time, especially when predictor variables are nearly collin...

During early limb development, distal tip ectoderm is induced by the underlying mesenchyme to form the apical ectodermal ridge. Subsequent limb growth and patterning depend on reciprocal signaling between the mesenchyme and ridge. Mice that are homozygous for mutations at the limb deformity (ld) locus do not form a proper ridge and the anteroposterior axis of the limb is shortened. Skeletal ana...

background cleft lip and palate as the most common congenital defect of oral cavity possesses a heavy socioeconomic burden for both the child and parents. nasoalveolar molding (nam) has received more attention to enhance future facial appearance and function during recent decades case presentation a 21-day old female neonate was referred with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. parents complained...
