Two experiments tested the ability of 4and 8-year-old children to encode the extent of a target dowel and later discriminate between the target and a foil having a novel extent. By manipulating the heights of containers in which we presented the stimuli we tested whether children used the relation between the dowels and containers for encoding extent. We found that 8-year-olds encoded extent wi...

In line with technological advancements, the construction industry worldwide has sought more efficient building systems in relation to aspects such as increased productivity, reduced material waste and meeting growing demand. The objective of this research was use structural joints composed composite dowels laminated wood beams an alternative connect pieces wood. Composite materials are a matri...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective chart review was to evaluate factors associated with improvement of visual acuity after a single sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients with diabetic macular edema. METHODS We reviewed the medical records for 63 consecutive eyes with diabetic macular edema treated by sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide and assessed at...

This article summarizes the current construction methods of prefabricated utility tunnels. (1) The proposed cast-in-place tunnel project was used as a background for this study. (2) original structure divided into components, and connection composite slabs mortise tenon joints were to propose new type concrete method. After completing design tunnel, numerical simulation analysis actual stress s...

With mortise and tenon structure furniture as the design carrier, cultural connotation of traditional symbols is absorbed new ideas for inheritance development culture in modern life are explored. Starting from analysis modeling characteristics, decorative allegorical connotations swastika, its feature elements summarized, keywords screened, applications extensions on this basis designed, basic...

Epithelial ingrowth of the bleb cavity, a true Tenon cyst, is a rare complication of a glaucoma drainage implant. Previous cases have been associated with persistent bleb leak, and most have occurred in eyes with prior extraocular surgery. We describe a case of a true Tenon cyst causing strabismus and an elevated intraocular pressure that was successfully treated by surgical revision.

PURPOSE Previous clinical studies indicated loss of retention between dowel and tooth was a major cause of failure for passive endodontic dowels. Advances in luting cement technology may have improved the retention of dowels. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the clinical failure modes for dowel/core/crown restorations luted using resin-based cements that are either self-et...

Dowel-type connections are commonly used in timber engineering for a large range of structural applications. The current generation of design rules is largely based on empiricism and testing and lacks in many parts a stringent mechanical foundation. This often blocks an optimized use of the connections, which is essential for the design of economically efficient structures. Moreover, it severel...
