The study aimed to compare between dynamic implant valve (DIVA) and the crestal ballooning techniques in elevating maxillary sinus membrane (MSM) conjunction with simultaneous implantation. Patients methods: 20-patient prospective clinical cohort study. Ages ranged from 42 53 years, had atrophic edentulous maxillae posterior region. To determine status, patients were investigated utilizing intr...

BACKGROUND Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an economically important, arthropod borne, emerging pathogen in Europe, causing disease mainly in sheep and cattle. Routine vaccination for bluetongue would require the ability to distinguish between vaccinated and infected individuals (DIVA). Current vaccines are effective but are not DIVA. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are highly immunogenic structural mimi...

Data from four DNA regions (rbcL, matK, 26S rDNA, and ITS) as well as extant and fossil morphology were used to reconstruct the phylogeny and biogeographic history of an intercontinentally disjunct plant group, the cornelian cherries of Cornus (dogwoods). The study tests previous hypotheses on the relative roles of two Tertiary land bridges, the North Atlantic land bridge (NALB) and the Bering ...

This paper describes the most recent version of the DIVA model, a neural network model of the brain computations underlying the acquisition and production of speech sounds. The model, which is implemented as a set of equations representing neural activity and synaptic strengths, is designed to account for the results of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electromagnetic midsagitta...
