We are interested in the applications of invariant theory to computer vision problems. A survey and clariication of the diierent invariant calculation methods are detailed in our extented technical report 1]. In this paper, we concentrate on 3D invariants from pairs of images instead of invariants related to the planar projective transformations from monocular image, that have been already larg...

In this paper, we introduce the study of prize-collecting network design problems having general connectivity requirements. Prior work considered only 0-1 or very limited connectivity requirements. We introduce general connectivity requirements in the prize-collecting generalized Steiner tree framework of Hajiaghayi and Jain [9], and consider penalty functions linear in the violation of the con...

Introduction: Gingival recession defects in the esthetic zone demands a concurrent correction of all involved teeth single surgery. Wound healing is complex phenomenon and use collagen membrane Injectable Platelet rich fibrin (I-PRF) will greatly enhance process. Thus aim this case report to evaluate effectiveness Coronally advanced flap (CAF) with I-PRF management gingival management. There wa...

OBJECT There is limited information on the relationship between patient age and the clinical benefit of resection in patients with glioblastoma. The purpose of this study was to use a population-based database to determine whether patient age influences the frequency that gross-total resection (GTR) is performed, and also whether GTR is associated with survival difference in different age group...

The complexity of the tissues and the healing process of the periodontal wound turn the development of therapies for the predictable regeneration of functional periodontal tissues, a challenging exercise. In the last decades, the guided tissue regeneration (GTR) emerged as a strategy to drive the innate regenerative properties of the tissues involved in the periodontal apparatus (gingiva, tooth...

An experiment combining a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp procedure of four sequential 2-h periods and an isotope dilution method of [U-13C]glucose determined the effect of supplemental calcium propionate on blood glucose metabolism during insulin and glucose infusions in adult sheep. They were fed lucerne hay cubes and commercial concentrate with and without supplementary calcium propionate ...

This systematic review focused on the question, if and to what extent enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain) [EMD]) promotes the regeneration of bone. The influence of combinations with other biomaterials was additionally evaluated. Twenty histomorphometric studies were included in this systematic review. Main results of the reviewed articles were (i) guide tissue regeneration (GTR) of infrabony d...

A novel compact triple band slit cut circular patch antenna with superstrate is proposed; slits on the patch provide additional resonances. The superstrate (cover) of dielectric layer provides protection to printed circuit antenna from environmental hazards due to abnormal weather conditions. The slits add two resonances in the resonance of a circular patch to achieve triple band antenna for mu...
