a simple inexpensive con!nuous quality control method, by means of eight basic blood coun!ng parameters, obtained from automated hematology analyzers, using pa!ent samples, is described. a few samples with low, normal and high values were selected and introduced to the instrument early in the morning as the first count, the results of which are plo#ed on the appropriate chart as dots. the same ...

Acclimation to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and temperature of respiration by the foliage in the crown of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees is measured and modelled. Starting in 1996, individual 20-year-old trees were enclosed in chambers and exposed to either normal ambient conditions (CON), elevated CO2 concentration (EC), elevated temperature (ET) or a combination of E...

Complexes of the anion of the secondary amine 2-phenylaminopyridine (LH) with the heavier alkali metals Na-Cs have been prepared in the presence of various macrocyclic polyether crowns [12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C5), and 18-crown-6 (18C6)], which coordinate to the metal ions in all cases. Depending on the combination of alkali metal and crown, the products include separated ion pairs [(c...

We used local microclimatic conditions and twig sap flow rates to interpret midday stomatal closure in the canopies of two 250-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees at a subalpine site in the Swiss Alps (1,650 m a.s.l.). Both trees showed midday stomatal closure on most clear summer days, despite the permanently wet soil. We used a modified Penman-Monteith formula to simulate p...

This clinical case describes a treatment approach that combines, in a single appointment, a crown lengthening procedure and the final crown preparation for the restoration of a severely decayed tooth. This approach allows for a more accurate placement of the crown margin in relation to the bone crest while reducing treatment time.

for management of a symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with dull pain on chewing, suppurative sinus tract, defective metal-ceramic crown and iatrogenic internal root resorption, an interdisciplinary approach was taken. two-visit nonsurgical treatment with calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, replacement of metal-ceramic crown with all-ceramic crown and corrective periodontal plastic surger...

To examine physiological responses to thinning, fertilization, and crown position, we measured net photosynthesis (P(n)), transpiration (E), vapor pressure difference (VPD), stomatal conductance (g(s)), and xylem pressure potential (Psi(1)) between 0930 and 1130 h under ambient conditions in the upper and lower crowns of a 13-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation six years (1994) a...

The aim of this project was to study possible influences of Turner syndrome (TS) karyotype and the number of X chromosomes with intact short arm (p-arm) on dental crown width. Primary and permanent mesio-distal crown width was measured on plaster casts from 112 TS females. The influence on crown width of four karyotypes: 1. monosomy (45,X), 2. mosaic (45,X/46,XX), 3. isochromosome, and 4. other...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Static and dynamic occlusal interference frequently needs to be corrected by selective grinding of the occlusal surface of conventional cast and ceramic-fused-to-metal restorations. CAD/CAM techniques allow control of the dimensional contours of these restorations. However, parameters responsible for the occlusal form need to be determined. In most articulators, these param...
