AI Thread Summary
Finding images of Moebius Syndrome online is challenging, primarily due to limited availability and potential privacy concerns from patients. Users have reported difficulty accessing images, often encountering paywalls or sign-up requirements on certain sites. While searching for "Moebius Syndrome" on Google yields some results, many links lead to information rather than images. A suggestion was made to include the "e" after the "o" in "Moebius" to improve search results. Ultimately, the nature of the syndrome means that affected individuals may not appear unusual in photos, contributing to the scarcity of available images.

I'm looking for large to medium sized images for Mobius Syndrome or anything related to that. I've had a hard time finding them on the internet.

I found a few pictures where patients had crossed-eyes, but I couldn't access them out of ask jeeves w/o signing-up for an account.

Then I searched images of Chromosome 13, but again...nothing.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I confess that my first reaction was to wonder what this has to do with math or physics- but I guess "Moebius" was a mathematician!

Notice the spelling. In German it is "o umlaut"- two dots over the o and in a font that does not supply that character, it is common add an e after the o to indicate the umlaut.

I went to "Google.com" (my personal preference), entered "Moebius Syndrome" and got a lot of hits- among them "www.MoebiusSyndrom.com".
 
And the images are where?

Or did you have have a tough time finding them like me?

I checked both Jeeves and Google.
 
No, I didn't have a tough time finding them!

In response to your first post, I used google.com with "Moebius Syndrome" and found a number of sites about it. Since I thought you would like to do your homework yourself, I simply reported that fact and suggested that perhaps adding the "e" after the o would help.

Apparently that was not the problem but I'm not clear on what your problem is. It occurred to me that, perhaps, people who have this problem don't WANT their pictures on public display!

In fact, that is not the case either. After reading your reply, I went back to google, entered "Moebius Syndrome" again and this time followed the links. The first had a lot of information (which I found very interesting since I, myself, have "third nerve palsy"- I was never sure before exactly what the "third nerve" was!) but no pictures.

The SECOND link I tried had a link labeled "Rogues Gallery" and it has links to many pictures.

Try this: http://www.moebius1.org/

Now, in fact, Moebius Syndrome is basically a nerve problem that makes it difficult or impossible to move parts of the face so these people do NOT look particularly unusual in a still photo!

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
