BACKGROUND Curriculum constructors and teachers must decide on the content and level of objectives and materials included in the medical curriculum. At University Medical Centre Utrecht it was decided to test relatively detailed knowledge at a regular level in study blocks and to design a progress test aimed at the medical core knowledge that every graduating doctor should possess. This study w...

statement of problem: endodontically treated teeth are more prone to fracture. the post and core are often used to provide the necessary retention for prosthetic rehabilitation. objectives: the purpose of this study was to: 1) compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth restored either with nickel-chromium (ni- cr) post or non- precious gold-color alloy (npg) post compared to ...

A programmable FPGA-based digital logic circuit is enhanced with high-speed emitter-couple logic and optoelectronics laser drivers and receivers to create a testbed for evaluating methods of transferring parallel data words in sub-nanosecond bursts. The end application requires the transfer of entire address/data buss information within a single cycle of the computer processor, which is running...

OBJECTIVE For most endodontically treated teeth, tooth-colored post-core systems are preferable for esthetic reasons. Therefore, improvements in material strength must also consider tooth colored post-core complexes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the difference in tooth colored post-core complex strengths. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 33 human maxillary central incisor teeth...

Background: Visual impairment affects all movement aspects of children. Furthermore, moving, as the primary means of physical education, is essential for promoting health in disabled children. Therefore, the present study determined the effect of core stability exercises on the risk of falling and the quality of life in blind individuals. Methods: In this quasi-experimental research, 30 blind ...

A novel concurrent core test approach is proposed to reduce the test cost of SOC. Prior to test, the test sets corresponding to cores under test (CUT) are merged by using the proposed merging algorithm to obtain a minimum merged test set. During test, the proposed scan tree architecture is employed to support the concurrent core test using the merged test set. The approach achieves concurrent c...
