OBJECTIVES To study the prevalence and the degree of lingual concavity in the edentulous first molar region from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of the mandibles. MATERIAL AND METHODS Qualified cross-sectional images in mandibular first molar edentulous region taken from CBCT were selected. The mandible morphology 2 mm above the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) was classified into the...

In this paper, we present a systematic design for manufacturing analysis thermo-optic phase tuners, framed within the process modules available on silicon nitride platform. Departing from an established technology platform, heat distribution in various micro-structures was analyzed, both steady and transient states, employing 2D transfer model solved numerically. Multi-parametric simulations we...

The availability of pre-existing PHC structures was a key indicator that most countries have the fundamental and operational basis for CHN. Nevertheless, significant deficiencies undercut CHNs' contributions to enhancing in these nations. According report, policymakers' general lack commitment their limited ability use CHN-related global regional policy tools at disposal are leading causes gaps.

Abstract The screw-blind riveting combines direct screwing with the blind riveting. novel joining element can be integrated into every injection-molded component like a standard screw boss without significantly increasing processing time. screw-blind-rivet (SBR) consists of connected to substrate by thin sleeve. process screw-blind-riveting divided two phases. first is screw-in phase. secured S...
