Direct and indirect methods for the quantification of leg volume: Comparison between water displacement volumetry, the disk model method and the frustum sign model method, using the correlation coefficient and the limits of agreement [PDF]
, 1993 Volume changes can be measured either directly by water-displacement volumetry or by various indirect methods in which calculation of the volume is based on circumference measurements.

Symplectic displacement energy for exact Lagrangian immersions [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We give an inequality of the displacement energy for exact Lagrangian immersions and the symplectic area of punctured holomorphic discs. Our approach is based on Floer homology for Lagrangian immersions and Chekanov's homotopy technique of continuations.

Lateral cephalometric analysis of asymptomatic volunteers and symptomatic patients with and without bilateral temporomandibular joint disk displacement [PDF]
, 1998 Few studies of dentofacial and orthodontic structural relationships relative to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction have been reported. We undertook this investigation to determine any correlation of orthodontic and dentofacial characteristics with

A piezoelectric micropump based on micromachining of silicon [PDF]
, 1988 The design and realization of two pumps based on micromachining of silicon are described. The pumps, which are of the reciprocating displacement type, comprise one or two pump chambers, a thin glass pump membrane actuated by a piezoelectric disc and ...

Adaptive mesh refinement simulations of collisional ring galaxies: effects of the interaction geometry [PDF]
, 2012 Collisional ring galaxies are the outcome of nearly axisymmetric high-speed encounters between a disc and an intruder galaxy. We investigate the properties of collisional ring galaxies as a function of the impact parameter, the initial relative velocity and the inclination angle. We employ new adaptive mesh refinement simulations to trace the evolution

The effect of bars on the M*- e relation: offset, scatter and residuals correlations [PDF]
, 2013 We analyse a set of collisionless disc galaxy simulations to study the consequences of bar formation and evolution on the M•-σe relation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs).

On the displacement rigidity of Levi flat hypersurfaces - The case of boundaries of disc bundles over compact Riemann surfaces [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 Non-existence theorems for Levi flat hypersurfaces have found great interest in the literature. The question next to this that has to be asked is, when existing Levi flat hypersurfaces are at least rigid under deformations. Here, the case of boundaries of disc bundles over certain compact Riemann surfaces is considered.

Inequalities for the minimal eigenvalue of the Laplacian in an annulus [PDF]
Math. Inequalitie and Applications, 1, N4, (1998), 559-563, 1999 It is proved that the minimal Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian in an annulus is a monotonically decreasing function of the displacement of the center of the smaller disc. The maximal value of the minimal eigenvalue is attained when the annulus is formed by two concentric discs.
