The aim of this investigation was to determine the influence of occlusal relationships on the occurrence of sounds in the temporomandibular joint. A group of 100 male subjects aged 24-52 years (X = 35.03+/-6.92) was examined. Analysis of occlusion included determination of the number of existing teeth, number of teeth in occlusion, overbite and overjet, type of occlusion, mediotrusion interfere...

The Frequency Assignment Problem (FAP) in radio networks is the problem of assigning frequencies to transmitters exploiting frequency reuse while keeping signal interference to acceptable levels. The FAP is usually modelled by variations of the graph coloring problem. A Radiocoloring (RC) of a graph G(V,E) is an assignment function Λ : V → IN such that |Λ(u) − Λ(v)| ≥ 2, when u, v are neighbors...

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of body weight growth adjustment methods on genetic parameters of body growth and tissue among three pig breeds. Data collected on 101,820 Landrace, 281,411 Yorkshire, and 78,068 Duroc pigs, born in Korean swine breeder farms since 2000, were analyzed. Records included body weights on test day and amplitude (A)-mode ultrasound carcass measu...

In this paper the design and formal veri cation of the Reliable Computing Platform (RCP), a fault-tolerant computing system for digital ight control applications, are presented. The RCP utilizes NMR-style redundancy to mask faults and internal majority voting to ush the e ects of transient faults. The system is formally speci ed and veri ed using the Ehdm veri cation system. A major goal of thi...

Given the number of applications surrounding early transition metal cyclopentadienyl sandwich complexes, the paucity of vanadocene research is truly remarkable. This is even more surprising given their potential application as potent antitumor agents,1 paramagnetic medical MRI shift reagents,2ab Ziegler-Natta catalysts,3ab and building blocks for novel magnetic materials.4 Obviously, one of the...

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent complaints among the people worldwide. According to the medical statistics, about 80 percent of people have at least one episode of LBP during their lifetime cause them to visit a physician for treatment. LBP is the most prevalent cause of work disability and its related leaves among people under 45 years old. Numerous studies have be...

METHODS: Nineteen vials of tetrofosmin were radiolabelled with Tc and the percentages of the RCP were determined. Five different methods were compared with the standard RCP testing method (ITLC-SG, 2x20 cm): Whatman 3MM (1x10 cm) with acetone and dichloromethane (method 1); Whatman 3MM (1x10 cm) with ethyl acetate (method 2); aluminum oxide-coated plastic thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate (...
