Sentence examples for spine orientation from inspiring English sources

These results show that size and spine orientation affect how particles interact with urchins in flow and imply that spine morphology plays a role in whether or not an individual adopts a streamlined posture.

Future research will focus on developing methods to adjust shape classification parameters depending on spine orientation, and degree of residual optical smear in the images.

As demonstrated by Lindgren et al. [28], the tails of derived mosasaurs can be subdivided into four discrete subregions (stable proximal tail base, mid-sectional displacement unit, narrow caudal peduncle, and distal propulsive surface or fluke) based on regional variations in vertebral centrum dimensions and discrepancies in vertebral process length and spine orientation (Figure 8A).

In successful trials, head, shoulders, thoracolumbar spine, and pelvis orientation in roll were measured by means of an automated, optical television image processor.

The usual vertical orientation of the spine in the frontal plane is disturbed, leading to a lateral curvature of spine.

Initially, the base vector for calculating the orientation of the spine segment that connects the two anchor joints of the used body model (joint 1 to joint 10 in Figure 5a) is considered to be fixed in space at v → s 0 m = ( 0, - 1, 0 ).

Next, with the data that provided the position and orientation of the spine, it was necessary to segment the image based on orientation.

Some limitations to the method include, that the overall accuracy is dependant on the quality of data used, the orientation of the spine in the image must be within a certain degree to be analyzed, and a large data set is necessary to be able to usefully interpret the measurements generated.

This study aims to investigate the capability of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in predicting the three-dimensional posture of the spine (S1, T12 and T1 orientations) in various activities.

Both the manual and automated methods reported more spines in the mostly horizontal orientation than the mostly vertical orientation (Table 4).

Postpartum during standing, the pelvic segment had a reduced sagittal plane anterior orientation, and the thoracolumbar spine was less extended, indicating a flatter spinal curve compared with the control group.
