Cryopreservation of cartilage has been investigated for decades and is an established protocol. However, the reliability and application of cryopreservation of cartilage for use in electromechanical reshaping (EMR) has not been studied exclusively. A system to cryopreserve large amounts of tissue provides a steady source of similar quality cartilage for future experimentation. This will reduce ...

The subject of occlusion has been deemphasized by academia over the last 30 years. This marginalization in turn has negatively impacted recent graduates who are largely unfamiliar with the use of occlusal adjustment by selective reshaping as a treatment modality. Use of proper occlusal therapy enables clinicians to more effectively help patients recover from parafunctional wear of the anterior ...

Electromechanical reshaping (EMR) is a promising surgical technique used to reshape cartilage by direct current and mechanical deformation. It causes local stress relaxation and permanent alterations in the shape of cartilage. The major advantages of EMR are its minimally invasive nature and nonthermal electrochemical mechanism of action. The purpose of this study is to validate that EMR does n...

Abstract: Human–robot interaction (HRI) is studied in two important research areas, intention estimation and intention reshaping. Although there are many studies in the literature that define human intention, new research examines the reshaping of human intentions by using robots in HRI. In this paper, 2 different robot movements are tested in a real environment in order to reshape current huma...

The present study reports on a series of laboratory experiments aiming to understand and optimize the deployment seawall defences over low-lying coral reef flats. is performed in purely cross-shore configuration, with varying wave forcing, water depth, shapes positions along flat. observations reveal individual combined effects external parameters. A higher efficiency reached for low waves, sha...

A compact traveling-wave electroabsorption modulator-based ring oscillator is utilized to perform clock recovery and simultaneously reshaping for 40-Gb/s optical packets. The clock locks within 300 ns and has less than 0.6 ps timing jitter.

Despite popular misconceptions, natural selection does operate in modern human populations. New studies even show that changes associated with modernization are deeply reshaping selection pressures and, perhaps, bits of our biological nature.
