PURPOSE To establish a three-dimensional finite element model for orthodontic anchorage micro-implant,and to analyze the influence of different titled angles on the biomechanical characteristics of orthodontic anchorage implant-bone interface. METHODS ANSYS(Analysis System)finite element analysis software was used to perform the finite element modeling of the micro-implant with 7 different ti...

The article titled " Oral haemangioma " [1], published in Case Reports in Medicine, has been retracted as it is found to contain a substantial amount of material from the paper " Capillary hemangioma of palatal mucosa,

This article is the introduction to our formal proceedings of the symposium titled ‘‘Protein Quality, Growth and Malnutrition: Latest Scientific Findings and the Role of Dairy in Food Aid,’’ held during the Experimental Biology 2015 annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.

This paper sums up relevant topics covered by the special issue titled ‘Real-Time Multimedia Coding and Transmission’, including efficient content representation, multimedia transmission, hardware and software acceleration, and transcoding techniques.

Diversity awareness has enormous benefits, and universities in the United States increasingly require students to complete diversity-related courses. Prior research has demonstrated that students' initial attitudes toward these courses affect their subsequent engagement, as well as the quality of their learning experience; however, very little research has examined how these initial attitudes a...

Spatial variations of the laser mode and pumping rate are incorporated into the theory of conventionally pumped lasers that produce squeezed light. Both a quantum-mechanical theory and a heuristic statistical model are used. While variations in the laser mode are found to have a negligible effect on squeezing, variations in the pumping rate are significant. The maximum attainable squeezing is a...

Sixty patients with the diagnosis of supratentorial malignant glial tumor, treated between November 1993-June 1997, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients had a median age of 47 years and a median Karnofsky Performance Status score of 90. Histology consisted of anaplastic astrocytoma in 21 (35%) and glioblastoma multiforme in 39 (65%) patients. Median survival was 13 months for all patient...

The deformation of structural alloys presents problems for power plants and aerospace applications due to the demand for elevated temperatures for higher efficiencies and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The materials used in such applications experience harsh environments which may lead to deformation and failure of critical components. To avoid such catastrophic failures and also incre...

This paper serves as a corrigendum to the paper titled On a class of differential-algebraic equations with infinite delay appearing in EJQTDE no. 81, 2011. We present here a corrected version of Lemma 5.5 and Corollary 5.7.
