The present importance of breast augmentation (BA) is shown by year-on-year increases: with 8439 augmentations performed by BAAPS members in 2007 the UK still lags America where 307,000 were performed. Having survived an almost hysterical media reaction to perceived silicone health risks in the 1990s, a growing body of evidence attests to the demonstrable benefits of BA. Improved implant design...

Tooth loss, especially in the anterior region, generates a loss of local bone structure affecting aesthetics and function for patient viable tactic is use deproteinized bovine block graft. This reconstructive method allows possibility partial or total reconstruction maxilla mandible safe predictable way, where it seeks maintenance three-dimensional structure, viability neoformation favoring imp...

Onlay bone augmentation is a challenging field, especially in esthetic zones. In implant dentistry, labial loss generally recovered through autologous and/or biomaterials. Dental pioneers have been applying patient-own demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) for regeneration. The aim of this study was to histologically and radiologically evaluate horizontal on an anterior atrophic maxilla using autog...

An ionic current model of the retinal horizontal cell is constructed. The horizontal cell models are interconnected by gap junctions to form a horizontal cell layer. The light response properties of the L-type horizontal cell are analyzed using this model. We demonstrate the functional role of each ionic current and the role of the feedback loop between cones and horizontal cells. The present s...

We describe a stochastic birth-and-death model of evolution of horizontally transferred genes in microbial populations. The model is a generalization of the stochastic model described by Berg and Kurland and includes five parameters: the rate of mutational inactivation, selection coefficient, invasion rate (i.e., rate of arrival of a novel sequence from outside of the recipient population), wit...

The present work deals with the results of the experimental investigations carried out on augmentation of turbulent flow heat transfer in a horizontal tube by the means of tube inserts, with air as working fluid. Experiments were carried out initially for the plain tube. Nusselt number and friction factor obtained experimentally were validated against those obtained from theoretical correlation...
