An integrated experimental and theoretical approach is proposed for the evaluation of stress within a natural tooth during bruxing. A physical model was developed that used strain gauges bonded to the buccal and lingual heights of contour of extracted, intact maxillary premolar teeth for the validation of a two-dimensional finite element model of a natural, intact maxillary premolar tooth. Resu...

Central accessory cusp in primary molars is an extremely rare condition which is due to abnormal proliferation and folding of inner enamel epithelium during morphodifferentiation stage of tooth development. The extension of the pulp in the cuspal area is often the reason for early involvement of pulp by the caries process. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment planning is necessary to mainta...

Left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia (LVOT-VT) is an uncommon type of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) thought to be due to cyclic adenosine mono phosphate (cAMP) mediated triggered activity. The arrhythmia can be terminated pharmacologically with calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers [1]. LVOT-VT can arise above or below the coronary cusps and the former variety can als...

introduction: neglecting to define important criteria in developing a basic health insurance package and to notice their real roles will result in defining a package which is politically unacceptable, non-economical, technically inefficient or mixed of them. therefore development of basic health insurance package should be according to appropriate composition of influential criteria. this study...

introduction: immunization is one of the most important health programs in first level prevention and is also one of the most cost-effective prevention programs in the entire world. this study evaluates the situation of immunization in fewer than one year old afghan refugee children in kerman, iran. materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study. data was extracted from the records of ...

The way address sequences and data patterns appear on the outside of a memory may differ from their internal appearance; this effect is referred to as scrambling, which has a large impact on the effectiveness of the used tests. This paper presents an analysis of address and data scrambling for memory chips, at the layout and at the electrical level. A method is presented to determine the data b...

A structurally testable delay fault might become untestable in the functional mode of the circuit due to logic or timing constraints or both. Experimental data suggests that there could be a large difference in the number of structurally and functionally testable delay faults. However, this difference is usually calculated based only on logic constraints. It is unclear how this difference would...

Students invariably ask the question \How large does n have to be for Z and t intervals to give appropriate coverage probabilities?" In this article we review the role of p 1 (X)= p n, where p 1 (X) is the skewness coeecient of the random sample, in the answer to this question. We also comment on the opposite eeect that p 1 (X) has on the behavior of t intervals compared to Z intervals. Finally...

investments in the extension of health insurance coverage, the strengthening of public health services, as well as primary care and better hospitals, highlights the emerging role of healthcare as part of china’s new growth regime, based on an expansion of services, and redistributive policies. such investments, apart from their central role in terms of relief for low-income people, serve to reb...
