PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare asymmetric mandibular prognathism individuals with symmetric mandibular prognathism individuals using a new alternate spherical coordinate system. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 47 computed tomographic images of patients with mandibular prognathism. The patients were classified into symmetric and asymmetric groups. Mandibular and...

We investigate the impact of nonaxisymmetric structure on estimates of galaxy inclinations and position angles. A new minimization technique is used to obtain estimates of inclination and position angle from a global fit to either photometric or kinematic data. We discuss possible systematic uncertainties which are much larger than statistical uncertainties. Our investigation reveals that syste...

When a drop is placed on a flat substrate tilted at an inclined angle, it can be deformed by gravity and its initial contact angle divides into front and rear contact angles by inclination. Here we study on evaporation dynamics of a pure water droplet on a flat solid substrate by controlling substrate inclination and measuring mass and volume changes of an evaporating droplet with time. We find...

The aim of this study was to identify possible anatomical risk factors for Kienbock's disease. We measured on a posteroanterior radiograph of the wrist, in zero-position, the Lunate Diameter and Height, Lunate Tilting Angle, Lunate Uncovering Index, Lunate Fossa Inclination, Radial Inclination and Ulnar Variance. We measured these seven parameters on the unaffected hand in the Kienböck group (N...

Numerical study on the effect of inclination angle with sinusoidal heating on top moving lid in two-dimensional square cavity is investigated. The top lid is heated sinusoidally while the bottom wall is maintained at cold temperature. The vertical walls are insulated and the cavity is filled with water. Finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm are employed to solve the dimensionless governing ...

The effect of inlet humidity conditions and inclination angle on the air side thermal hydraulic performance of a brazed aluminum heat exchanger has been investigated experimentally. The crossflow heat exchanger had flat tubes and folded fins with fin and louver pitch of 2.1 mm and 1.4 mm, respectively. The glycol temperature was held nearly isothermal at 1C, while humidity of the 12C inlet air ...

Differential interferometry (DI) is a technique that combines high spectral resolution with high spatial resolution. It is particularly suited to probe mechanisms that induce chromatic signatures, such as large scale mass motions. We thus investigate the use of DI combined with the Fourier transform method to study the stellar surface differential rotation. We show that, compared to spectroscop...

Air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) experiments were performed with varied temperature and varied module inclination angles to characterize the effect of module angle on permeate production and thermal performance. While AGMD is potentially one of the most energy efficient membrane distillation configurations, transport resistances in the air gap typically dominate the thermal performance, res...

Lateral obliquity of the forearm from the arm when the forearm is supinated and extended is called carrying angle. In this study carrying angle was measured using radiographs of adult individuals and morphometry was done on dry bones taking part in formation of human elbow (on lower end of humerus-trochlear angle and inclination angle of olecranon fossa, on upper end of ulna-olecranon-coronoid ...
