lead is a relatively ubiquitous heavy metal with particular features such as resistance to corrosion, high malleability and wide variety of industrial applications. in medicine, however, it is considered as a slow-acting toxic substance affecting multiple body systems, specifically functioning as a potent neurotoxin in the central nervous system. lead poisoning may be acute or chronic and can b...

Objective: Having access to bodily signals is known to be crucial for differentiating the self from others and coping with negative feelings. The interplay between bodily and emotional processes develops in adolescence, where vulnerability is high, as negative affect states often occur, that could hamper the integration of bodily input into the self. Aim of the present study in healthy adolesce...

Chat tools are an integral part of many collaborative e-learning environments. However, standard chat tools suffer from important coordination and coherence deficiencies. The solution proposed in this paper is a generic framework for building malleable structured chat applications. The paper discusses the approach and the main design decisions, emphasizing the importance of dynamic malleability...

CONCLUSION: We could achieve complete bone healing and premorbid occlusion using microplates. The microplates are strong enough to keep comminuted mandibular fractures reduced. Their small size and malleability allow multiple fixation of comminuted bony segments in accurate-anatomical position, less periosteal stripping and self-occlusal adjustment. Therefore, microplate fixation may be one of ...

When commitment schemes are used in complex environments, e.g., the Internet, the issue of malleability appears, i.e., a concurrent man-in-the-middle adversary might generate commitments to values related to ones committed to by honest players. In the plain model, the current best solution towards resolving this problem in a constant number of rounds is the work of Ostrovsky, Persiano and Visco...
