Root conditioning in periodontology - Revisited

Complementary root locus revisited

In this paper, a new finding related to the well-known root locus method that is covered in the introductory control systems books is presented. It is shown that some of the complementary root locus rules and properties are not valid for systems with loop transfer functions that are not strictly proper. New definitions for root locus branches have been presented which divide them into branches ...

Eyeblink Classical Conditioning and Awareness Revisited

Dual-task performance was assessed in 140 adults during eyeblink classical conditioning (EBCC) and one of several secondary tasks (timed-interval tapping, recognition memory, choice reaction time, video viewing). Four groups received paired-EBCC stimulus presentation, and three groups received explicitly unpaired EBCC stimuli. Although the subjects were not told about the conditioning task, the...

The rhizosphere revisited: root microbiomics

The rhizosphere was defined over 100 years ago as the zone around the root where microorganisms and processes important for plant growth and health are located. Recent studies show that the diversity of microorganisms associated with the root system is enormous. This rhizosphere microbiome extends the functional repertoire of the plant beyond imagination. The rhizosphere microbiome of Arabidops...

Decision-making in aesthetics: root coverage revisited.

Over the years, numerous surgical techniques have been introduced to correct labial, gingival recession defects. Aesthetic concerns are usually the reason to perform these procedures. Clinical studies have evaluated many of the techniques. The depths of the defects have been measured before surgery and at a follow-up examination after 6 months or later. Results in terms of mid-surface root cove...
