The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different framework materials on biomechanical behaviour of anterior two-unit cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs). A three-dimensional finite element model of a two-unit cantilever RBFDP replacing a maxillary lateral incisor was created. Five framework materials were evaluated: direct fibre-reinforced composite (FRC-Z25...

BACKGROUND Inverse relationship between helminths infection and immune-mediated diseases has inspired researchers to investigate therapeutic potential of helminths in allergic asthma. Helminth unique ability to induce immunoregulatory responses has already been documented in several experimental studies. This study was designed to investigate whether excretory/secretory (ES) and somatic product...

this study was conducted to investigate the spatial variability of model parameters of soil shrinkage curve in cherlgerd district, chaharmahal-va-bakhtiari province. ninety nine locations were selected and soil clods were collected from the 0-10 cm layer and brought to the laboratory. soil shrinkage curve was measured, according to archimedes's principle, by covering the undisturbed clods ...

Exsheathing fluid (EF) and excretory-secretory products (ES) of infective third-stage cultured larvae ofOstertagia circumcincta were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDSPAGE). Five and seven predominant proteins were found in the EF and ES products, respectively. Immunoblotting by sheep pre-infection serum did not react with any of the EF and ES proteins, b...

Inspiratory muscle fatigue (IMF) may limit exercise performance. A few studies have reported that IMF occurs after short-duration swimming exercise, but whether short-duration running can induce IMF remains unclear. Intra-abdominal pressure is increased during running through diaphragmatic activation to stabilize the spine during movements of the upper limbs. This occurs along with the increase...

To assess pacing accuracy in a group of adolescent swimmers during an incremental step test. Fifteen well-trained swimmers (age 15±1.5 years; height 170.2±8.8 cm; mass 60.2±6.6 kg), completed two 7×200 m tests, separated by ~72 hours. They swam to a predetermined incrementally increasing pace per step and were instructed to swim at even pace. Upon completion of each step, rating of perceived ex...

La floculation des asphaltnes est dŽcrite comme une transition thermodynamique conduisant ˆ la formation d'une nouvelle phase liquide riche en asphaltnes : le dŽp™t asphaltŽnique. Le modle thermodynamique choisi est l'Žquation d'Žtat de PengRobinson associŽe aux rgles de mŽlange d'Abdoul et PŽneloux fondŽes sur les contributions de groupes. Le brut est reprŽsentŽ par 33 pseudo-constituants....
