longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. in this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum von mises stress in implant-abutment complex and jaw...

......The main memory (dynamic RAM) system is a major limiter of computer system performance. In modern processors, which are overwhelmingly multicore (or multithreaded), the concurrently executing threads share the DRAM system, and different threads running on different cores can delay each other through resource contention. One thread’s memory requests can cause DRAM bank conflicts, row-buffe...

Abstract. The 28 December 1908 Messina Straits earthquake represents one of the worst seismic catastrophes in world history. In spite relatively large and various amount data available geophysical investigations accomplished straits, seismogenic structure is still elusive intensely debated. Some models proposed for causative fault rely considerably on hypothesis significant subsidence preceding...

A botnet is a collection of bots, each generally running on a compromised system and responding to commands over a “commandand-control” overlay network. We investigate observable differences in the behavior of bots and benign programs, focusing on the way that bots respond to data received over the network. Our experimental platform monitors execution of an arbitrary Win32 binary, considering d...

BACKGROUND Corneal renewal and repair are mediated by stem cells of the limbus, the narrow zone between the cornea and the bulbar conjunctiva. Ocular burns may destroy the limbus, causing limbal stem-cell deficiency. We investigated the long-term clinical results of cell therapy in patients with burn-related corneal destruction associated with limbal stem-cell deficiency, a highly disabling ocu...
