Until now a lot of visual analytics predominantly delivers qualitative results—based, for example, on a continuous color map or a detailed spatial encoding. Important target applications, however, such as medical diagnosis and decision making, clearly benefit from quantitative analysis results. In this paper we propose several specific extensions to the well-established concept of linking&brush...

We present the usage of a non-discrete degree of interest (DOI) function, obtained by brushing multi-valued 3D simulation data in information visualization views, to define opacity, color, and geometrical transfer functions for 3D rendering in a scientific visualization view via linking. To reflect the smooth nature of features in flow simulation data, smooth brushing was chosen. Different avai...

Synopsis--A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE study of the morphological changes in human HAIR has revealed that these changes may be entirely attributable to the ABRASION normally associated with hair grooming. In particular, SHAMPOOING and BRUSHING can produce all of the observed changes detected in virgin hair. These changes are more deleterious in some cosmetically altered hairs. This appears to...

AIM The aim of this systematic review was to produce the best available evidence and pool appropriate data to evaluate the effect of tooth brushing on the initiation and progression of non-inflammatory gingival recession. MATERIAL AND METHODS A protocol was developed a priori for the question: "Do factors associated with tooth brushing predict the development and progression of non-inflammato...

OBJECTIVES All gastric ulcers discovered at endoscopy are potentially malignant. Concurrent use of both histological biopsy and cytological brushing has been advocated as a means of increasing the diagnostic yield for neoplasia at the time of initial endoscopy. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the impact of these diagnostic strategies on the cost-effectiveness of detecting malignan...

The purpose of the study was the evaluation of the dental plaque and the influence of determined hygienic factors on gingival recession occurrence in 455 students of The Medical University of Bialystok. All the subjects were examined in artificial light, with the use of the probe, mirror, and parodontometer. The distribution of stained dental deposits were estimated with the use of the plaque i...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of brushing with a Colgate 360º or Oral B Indicator 35 toothbrush on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded to extracted human teeth. The bristle wear and bristle tip morphology were also examined after simulated tooth-brushing. Orthodontic brackets (Roth-P/1st and 2nd premolar S/D- Slot 0.18") were bonded (Transbond XT) to the sm...

BACKGROUND Clinical validation of laboratory toothbrushing tests has important advantages. It was, therefore, the aim to demonstrate correlation of tooth cleaning efficiency of a new robot brushing simulation technique with clinical plaque removal. METHODS Clinical programme: 27 subjects received dental cleaning prior to 3-day-plaque-regrowth-interval. Plaque was stained, photographically doc...
