The black-necked grebe (Podiceps nigricollis C.L. Brehm) is a nesting, migratory bird species, the number of which in Southern Urals reaches 12 thousand individuals. From an ecological point view, named species belongs to aquatic birds and prefers semiaquatic habitats. Being waterfowl, has complex diving adaptations characterized as specialized waterfowl. literature analysis proved that knowled...

The present work highlights the powerful combination of SIMULINK/MATLAB software as an effective flowsheeting tool which was used to simulate steady state, open and closed loop dynamics of a sieve tray gas absorption column. A complete mathematical model, which consists of a system of differential and algebraic equations was developed. The S-Functions were used to build user defined blocks for ...

background: accurate impression making is an essential prerequisite for achieving a passive fi t between the implant and the superstructure. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the three-dimensional accuracy of open-tray and three closed-tray impression techniques. materials and methods: three acrylic resin mandibular master models with four parallel implants were used: biohorizons (b...

An ideal I on a cardinal κ is called rigid if all automorphisms of P (κ)/I are trivial. An ideal is called μ-minimal if whenever G ⊆ P (κ)/I is generic and X ∈ P (μ)V [G] \ V , it follows that V [X] = V [G]. We prove that the existence of a rigid saturated μ-minimal ideal on μ+, where μ is a regular cardinal, is consistent relative to the existence of large cardinals. The existence of such an i...

Abstract This paper describes an optimization procedure for the synthesis of complex distillation configurations. A superstructure based on the Reversible Distillation Sequence Model (RDSM) is proposed embedding all possible alternative designs using tray-by-tray models. Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP) is used to model the superstructure. Due to the large size and complexity of the fo...

Background:Various impression techniques have been proposed for making implant prostheses. Impressions are made at level –closed and open tray impressions, as well abutment impressions. Closed copings used to make the The limitations associated with copings, including expensive ones, pose a significant challenge in limited mouth-opening cases, customization of is not feasible.Aim: This study ai...

BACKGROUND Health care costs in Canada continue to rise. As a result of this relentless increase in healthcare spending, ways to increase efficiency and decrease cost are constantly being sought. Surgical treatment is the mainstay of therapy for many conditions in the field of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery. The evidence suggests that room exists to optimize tray efficiency as a novel me...
