Previous studies have indicated that at least 5 mm of bone is needed above the canal when performing transposing of the inferior alveolar nerve (TIAN). In this clinical report, TIAN was performed in a situation where minimal (< 2 mm) bone height was present above the canal of the IAN. Preoperative examination with computerized tomography scan revealed 2 mm of bone above the canal at the area of...

Hans Blumenberg’s magisterial defense of modernity against the reproach of secularization, elaborated most extensively in The Legitimacy of the Modern Age (1966, 1974), develops both a distinctive method of philosophical history and the groundwork of a philosophical anthropology, predicated on the emergence of human self-assertion as theoretical curiosity. But as Blumenberg’s work attests more ...

Quantum systems with discrete symmetries can usually be desymmetrized, but this strategy fails when considering transport in open systems with a symmetry that maps different openings onto each other. We investigate the joint probability density of transmission eigenvalues for such systems in random-matrix theory. In the orthogonal symmetry class we show that the eigenvalue statistics manifests ...

A masked nonword prime generated by transposing adjacent inner letters in a word (e.g., jugde) facilitates the recognition of the target word (JUDGE) more than a prime in which the relevant letters are replaced by different letters (e.g., junpe). This transposed-letter (TL) priming effect has been widely interpreted as evidence that the coding of letter position is flexible, rather than precise...

Recent research has shown that pseudowords created by transposing letters are very effective for activating the lexical representation of their base words (e.g., relovution activates REVOLUTION). Furthermore, pseudoword transpositions of consonants are more similar to their corresponding base words than the transposition of vowels. We report one experiment using pseudowords created by the trans...

Automatically verifying safety properties of programs is a tough problem that has been tackled using many different approaches: rewriting systems, abstract interpretation, SMT solving, . . . Most techniques restrict themselves to programs operating on boolean and integer values and transposing them to infinite data structures such as arrays has not yet been satisfyingly achieved. Recent work in...

The polyphase framework is a well-established tool in discrete-time signal processing. It can be used to simplify considerably the description of periodically time varying systems. From network theory it is known that there are structurally and functionally related networks to a given network that can be obtained e.g. by transposition or by taking the adjoint. In terms of functionality the tran...

I factors in Drosophila melanogaster are non-LTR retrotransposons similar to mammalian LINEs. They transpose at very high frequencies in the germ line of SF females resulting from crosses between reactive females, devoid of active I factors, and inducer males, containing active I factors. The vermilion marked IviP2 element was designed to allow easy phenotypical screening for retrotransposition...

The variable fractional-delay (FD) filter structure by Tassart and Depalle performs Lagrange interpolation in an efficient way. We point out that this structure directly corresponds to Newton’s interpolation (backward difference) formula, hence we prefer to refer to it as the Newton FD filter. This structure does not function correctly when the fractional delay is made time-variant, e.g., in sa...

To study the expression of the I factor, a non-long-terminal-repeat retrotransposon responsible for I-R hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster, we have tagged the ORF1 protein (ORF1p) by inserting the HA epitope in its N-terminal region. In transgenic flies, this modification is compatible with a high rate of autonomous transposition and allows direct estimation of the transposition frequ...
