osteoma is a benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumor that sometimes arises from the craniomaxillofacial region, such as the sinus, temporal or jaw bones. osteoma consists of compact or cancellous bone that may be peripheral, central or extraskeletal type. peripheral osteoma arises from the periosteum and is commonly a unilateral, pedunculated mushroom-like mass. peripheral osteoma of the mandible...

it is vital in every language classroom that the best pos- sible materials be chosen as they are considered to play the next most important role in learning a foreign language after the teacher. all teachers are responsible to evaluate what they intend to take to the language classroom. these days, language teachers have the preference to equip their classes with technology as a supplement to b...

A high-Q-factor tunable silica-based microring resonator (MRR) is demonstrated. To meet the critical-coupling condition, a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) as coupler was integrated with racetrack resonator. Then, 40 mW electronic power applied on microheater arm of MZI, and maximal notch depth about 13.84 dB loaded Q factor 4.47 × 106 were obtained. The proposed MRR shows great potential in p...

As a part of the Broader Approach activities from 2007 to 2016, research and development on blanket related materials and tritium technology have been initiated toward DEMO by the EU and Japan. According to the common interest of EU and Japan toward DEMO, R&D on reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) steels as a DEMO blanket structural material, silicon carbide composites (SiCf/SiC), ad...

We present a two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation of profile evolution during the overetching step of polysilicon-on-insulator structures, which considers explicitly ~a! electric field effects during the charging transient, ~b! etching reactions of energetic ions impinging on the poly-Si, and ~c! forward inelastic scattering effects. Realistic energy and angular distributions for ions and ele...

BACKGROUND In this article, we describe a case report of using real-time, high-resolution ultrasound guidance to facilitate blockade of the suprascapular nerve. We describe a case report and technique for using a portable ultrasound scanner (38 mm broadband (13-6 MHz) linear array transducer (SonoSite Micromaxx SonoSite, Inc. 21919 30th Drive SE Bothwell W. A..)) to guide suprascapular nerve bl...

To discriminate between broadband noises with and without a high-frequency spectral notch is more difficult at 70-80 dB sound pressure level than at lower or higher levels [Alves-Pinto, A. and Lopez-Poveda, E. A. (2005). "Detection of high-frequency spectral notches as a function of level," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 118, 2458-2469]. One possible explanation is that the notch is less clearly represent...

To successfully target Notch receptors as part of a multidrug anticancer strategy, it will be essential to fully characterize the factors that are modulated by Notch signaling. We recently reported that Notch3 silencing in HCC results in p53 up-regulation in vitro and, therefore, we focused on the mechanisms that associate Notch3 to p53 protein expression. We explored the regulation of p53 by N...

Thin-plate V-notch weirs are commonly used as measuring devices in flumes and channels. Herein, the discharge calibration of a large 90o V-notch weir was performed using an unsteady volume per time technique. The weir overflow was initially shut. The sudden opening of the gate was associated with an initial phase of transient water motion associated with a negative wave propagating in the reser...
