We engineer a quantum bath that enables entropy and energy exchange with a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard lattice with attractive on-site interactions. We implement this in an array of three superconducting transmon qubits coupled to a single cavity mode; the transmons represent lattice sites and their excitation quanta embody bosonic particles. Our cooling protocol preserves the particle number-...

No- or minimal-preparation veneers associated with enamel preservation offer predictable results in esthetic dentistry; indirect additive anterior composite restorations represent a quick, minimally invasive, inexpensive, and repairable option for a smile enhancement treatment plan. Current laboratory techniques associated with a strict clinical protocol satisfy patients' restorative and esthet...

Rationale: Criteria for preparation of the oral cavity is not a standard inclusion in current guidelines hydrogen-methane breath testing. The aim this study was to determine how pre-test mouthwash may impact test Results upon which diagnosis and treatment recommendations are based.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between nasal cavity dimensions and airflow based on measures of acoustic rhinometry (AR) and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) in a very large sample of mixed rhinologic and nonrhinologic patients. DESIGN Clinical survey conducted between 2001 and 2007. SETTING Secondary referral ambulatory center and hospital. PATIENTS The study population comp...

Improving Dose Coverage In Tumors Of The Head And Neck By Reducing Lateral Electronic Disequilibrium. Shada J. Wadi-Ramahi Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL Abstract:This research investigates the use of a low-strength (< 1.0 T) longitudinal magnetic field with external photon beams in improving the dose coverage of the regions around air cavities. This is a problem relevant for tumor...

Objectives The main goal of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of maxillary second premolar teeth with standard and conservative mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavity designs. Methods Sixty maxillary second premolars were randomly divided into 6 Groups of 10 teeth. G1 consisted of intact teeth. G2 was prepared with separated proximal boxes that were designed to be 1 mm approximate...

INTRODUCTION The introduction of piezoelectric instruments in endodontic surgery allowed clinicians to manage the bone tissue with precision reducing the risk of damaging soft tissues. Although such instruments can also be used to prepare root-end cavity, few information is available on the effect of piezosurgery on dentine. This cadaveric study investigated the integrity of root apices after r...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to determine if ultrasound-guided trial transfer (UTT) in the office in preparation for an IVF cycle can be utilized as an alternative and/or adjunct to ultrasound-guided embryo transfer (UGET). METHODS Patients planning to undergo an IVF cycle at an academic centre were included. Each patient underwent an UTT in the office by the same practitioner. T...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the Vector system in comparison to the conventional technique in cavity preparation. Four extracted primary teeth with no restorations and similar fissure carious lesions and four permanent teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons were used. Class I preparations were made provided that the caries depth remained within the dentin limits. Two teeth were treate...
