I am submitting herewith a thesis written by Brad J. Stinson entitled " Design and Test of an Event Detector and Locator for the ReflectoActive™ Seals System. " I have examined the final electronic copy of this thesis for form and content and recommend that it be accepted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Science, with a major in Electrical Engineering. (Original signatures are...

This case report describes endodontic therapy on a mandibular first molar with unusual root morphology. In the initial treatment the working length had been determined with only an apex locator; no periapical radiographs had been obtained because the patient was pregnant. The root canal into an additional distolingual root had not been found and was therefore left untreated, which led to treatm...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical findings and patient satisfaction on implant overdenture designed with Locator implant attachment or Locator bar attachment in mandibular edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, probing depth, peri-implant inflammation, bleeding, plaque, calculus, complications, and satisfaction were evalu...

Size-evolutionary patterns of mechanical and electronic transport properties in junctions are discussed, showing formation of nanowires upon narrowing, regardless of the initial dimensions of the junctions. Mechanical and conductance reversibility of such nanowires in elongation and compression cycles is studied. Ab-initio localspin-density functional based molecular dynamics simulations show f...

As a basic prerequisite for worm detection based on computational intelligence in networks with locator/identifier separation, it is well worth considering the influence on worm propagation due to the incoming locator/identifier separation. In this paper, according to the characteristics of locator/identifier separation, we systematically analyze the mitigation of worm propagation in three aspe...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Post retention is crucial factor in restoration survival. Posts are commonly failed due to loss of retention. It is unknown which luting agents would provide the maximum bond strength for Locator overdenture posts. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond retentive strengths of Locator overdenture posts cemented with 7 luting agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...
