In Engineering Geodesy, most coordinate frames are aligned with the local vertical. For many measurement tasks, it is therefore necessary to manually (or arithmetically) align sensors or equipment with the local vertical, which is a common source of errors and it is very time consuming. Alternatively, accelerometer triads as part of inertial measurement units (IMUs) are used in several applications for horizon leveling. In this contribution we analyze and develop a method to use accelerometer triads for pole tilt compensation with total stations. Several triad sensor models are investigated and applied in a calibration routine using an industrial robot arm. Furthermore a calibration routine to determine the orientation of the IMU mounted on the pole is proposed. Using variance based sensitivity analysis we investigate the influence of different model parameters on leveling and pole tilt compensation. Based on this inference the developed calibration routines are adjusted. The final evaluation experiment shows an RMS of 2.4 mm for the tilt compensated measured ground point with tilts up to 50 gon.

Human eyes' optical components are misaligned. This study presents comprehensive geometric constructions in the binocular system, with the eye model incorporating the fovea that is displaced from the posterior pole and the lens that is tilted away from the eye's optical axis. It extends their previously considered horizontal misalignment with the vertical components.

This study interprets aeromagnetic data from the Tizi n'Test area in the High Atlas massif of Morocco, aiming to gain insights into its litho-structural architecture and implications for mineral exploration and mining. We employed six different analytical techniques to the residual magnetic field data, including reduction to the pole (RTP), upward continuation, total horizontal derivative, Tilt angle, Centre for Exploration Targeting (CET) analysis, and Euler deconvolution. Our analyses differentiated the study area into three magnetic domains: the eastern Ouzellarh block, characterized by positive anomalies, a central domain characterized by a negative magnetic signature demarcating the transitional zone between the Anti-Atlas and the High Atlas separated by the Ouchden fault: and the western domain, represented by the Tichka massif.

Background: The glenopolar angle (GPA), usually ranges from 30° to 45°. GPA measures the tilt of the plane of the glenoid cavity in relation to the axis of the body of the scapula passing from the superior pole of the glenoid cavity to the inferior angle of the scapula. It is essential to assess the results of surgeries for dislocated shoulders.

Article Synopsis
- Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) often uses a planar sample geometry, but this leads to challenges like increased sample thickness and decreased signal-to-noise ratio at high tilt angles, limiting data collection.
- The typical maximum tilt range is ±70°, which results in a "missing wedge" in Fourier space that can hinder analysis of low-symmetry biological structures, such as organelles or vesicles.
- To tackle these issues, an innovative n-helix tilt scheme involving overlapping tilt series is proposed, which optimizes data acquisition from a pillar sample geometry while addressing electron beam damage and data alignment.

Background: Anatomic patellar components for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have demonstrated favorable in vivo kinematics. A novel failure mechanism in TKA patients with an anatomic patellar component was observed prompting an investigation to identify patient- and implant-related factors associated with suboptimal performance.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation was performed comparing 100 TKA patients with an anatomic patellar component to 100 gender-, age-, and body mass index-matched patients with a medialized dome component.
