background: several grafting materials have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation. the literature lacks researches to compare cenobone to other grafting materials. the aim of this study was to compare cenobone/cenomembrane complex to bio-oss/bio-gide complex in lateral alveolar bone augmentation in terms of radiographic, histologic, and histomorphometric parameters. materials and methods: i...

Fluorapatite from Cerro de Mercado, Durango, Mexico has been used in several important diffusion studies aimed at calibrating the closure temperature of the (U-Th)/He apatite thermochronometer and has become a de facto standard for (U-Th)/He laboratories. Nevertheless, replicate laser fusion analyses of small crystal fragments of the "Durango fluorapatite" typically yield a range of (U-Th)/He d...

Urban form, sustainability, community vision, place specificity, code document clarity, and efficiency of the development process are identified as the essential themes behind form-based codes by Evan Evangelopoulos and Cornelius Nurworsoo. The authors note the need to develop measurable parameters to better study these themes and understand the impact of form-based codes in their effort to ref...
