CRANIOFACIAL MORPHOLOGY OF CHILDREN WITH COMPLETE UNILATERAL CLEFT LIP AND PALATE FOLLOWING LABIOPLASTY AND PALATOPLASTY

Craniofacial morphology of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate following labioplasty and palatoplasty

Background: A complete unilateral cleft lip and palate generally results in asymmetry of the midface.The lack of continuity in the perilabial musculature through the midline contributes to a malpositioning of the underlying osseus structures which are often underdeveloped.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differe

Ensemble Kalman filtering with residual nudging

Covariance inflation and localisation are two important techniques that are used to improve the performance of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) by (in effect) adjusting the sample covariances of the estimates in the state space.In this work, an additional auxiliary technique, called residual nudging, is proposed to monitor and, if necessary, adjus
