Hybrid Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty: How We Do It
Background: A difficult to correct dorsal K-area is a frequent cause of residual and/or recurrent
dorsal hump in preservation rhinoplasty. Fragile osseocartilaginous elastic connections essential in
static stability of nasal pyramid structure should be at least respected. A bulging of Upper Lateral
Cartilage (ULC) caudally to this area are principal cause of cartilaginous hump, difficult to correct
without damaging the stability.
Aim: A hybrid method of a combination of structural surgery with preservation attitude was
suggested.
Methods and Material: Osseocartilaginous interconnection of DKA area (Dorsal K-Area)
can be totally preserved with structural correction of the same area. An incision below of DKA
interconnections, with high auto-spreader grafts instead of trimming the deformity was suggested.
Conclusion: Septal T-segment could be freely excised as needed, sutured with high and low autospreader graft, as well with septum in desired position, without jeopardizing static stability of nasal
pyramid. In our patients, no residual and/or recurrent hump was registered in immediate and as well
in long term resultsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Chaos and Synchronized Chaos in an Earthquake Model
We show that chaos is present in the symmetric two-block Burridge-Knopoff
model for earthquakes. This is in contrast with previous numerical studies, but
in agreement with experimental results. In this system, we have found a rich
dynamical behavior with an unusual route to chaos. In the three-block system,
we see the appearance of synchronized chaos, showing that this concept can have
potential applications in the field of seismology.Comment: To appear in Physical Review Letters (13 pages, 6 figures
Exponential Distributions in a Mechanical Model for Earthquakes
We study statistical distributions in a mechanical model for an earthquake
fault introduced by Burridge and Knopoff [R. Burridge and L. Knopoff, {\sl
Bull. Seismol. Soc. Am.} {\bf 57}, 341 (1967)]. Our investigations on the size
(moment), time duration and number of blocks involved in an event show that
exponential distributions are found in a given range of the paramenter space.
This occurs when the two kinds of springs present in the model have the same,
or approximately the same, value for the elastic constants. Exponential
distributions have also been seen recently in an experimental system to model
earthquake-like dynamics [M. A. Rubio and J. Galeano, {\sl Phys. Rev. E} {\bf
50}, 1000 (1994)].Comment: 11 pages, uuencoded (submitted to Phys. Rev. E
Anomalous Hall effect in superconductors with spin-orbit interaction
We calculate the anomalous Hall conductance of superconductors with
spin-orbit interaction and with either uniform or local magnetization. In the
first case we consider a uniform ferromagnetic ordering in a spin triplet
superconductor, while in the second case we consider a conventional s-wave spin
singlet superconductor with a magnetic impurity (or a diluted set of magnetic
impurities). In the latter case we show that the anomalous Hall conductance can
be used to track the quantum phase transition, that occurs when the spin
coupling between the impurity and electronic spin density exceeds a certain
critical value. In both cases we find that for large spin-orbit coupling the
superconductivity is destroyed and the Hall conductance oscillates strongly.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Repetibilidade de caracteres fenotípicos em populações de cenoura.
O objetivo do trabalho foi utilizar diferentes estimativas de repetibilidade para caracteres fenotipicos em duas populações de cenoura, visando identificar a melhor metodologia de estimação de repetibilidade e o grau de estabilização das populações.bitstream/item/73867/1/bpd-88.pd

Accurate mass measurements of Ne, Na, Mg performed with the {\sc Mistral} spectrometer
The minuteness of the nuclear binding energy requires that mass measurements
be highly precise and accurate. Here we report on new measurements Mg
and Na performed with the {\sc Mistral} mass spectrometer at {\sc
Cern}'s {\sc Isolde} facility. Since mass measurements are prone to systematic
errors, considerable effort has been devoted to their evaluation and
elimination in order to achieve accuracy and not only precision. We have
therefore conducted a campaign of measurements for calibration and error
evaluation. As a result, we now have a satisfactory description of the {\sc
Mistral} calibration laws and error budget. We have applied our new
understanding to previous measurements of Ne, Na and
Mg for which re-evaluated values are reported.Comment: submitted to Nuclear Physics
