OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of implant body form (cylindrical and conical implants) on crestal bone levels during 6 months' follow-up after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 SPI implants (19 conical implants/13 cylindrical implants) were randomly placed in 12 male patients using a submerged approach. None of the patients had compromising ...

We construct a family of multidyonically charged and rotating supersymmetric ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}$ solutions $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauged supergravity, where $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}$ is sphere with two conical singularities known as spindle. argue that these arise near horizon limits extremal dyonically accelerating black holes...

The geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. In the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. This type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. Moreover, it has a...

In engineering applications, especially in the field of modern military defence, the cylindrical shells, conical shells and coupled conical-cylindrical shells are basically simplified models of many types of weapons and equipment, such as aircraft, missiles, and submarines. The study of free vibrational characteristics of cylindrical shells is comprehensive. Initially, researchers1-5 investigat...

A bstract Thermal partition functions for gravitational systems have traditionally been studied using Euclidean path integrals. But in signature the action suffers from conformal factor problem, which renders unbounded below. This makes it difficult to take formulation as fundamental. However, despite their familiar association with periodic imaginary time, thermal can also be described by real...

metal forming processes, compared with machining ones, reduce production steps and increasemanufacturing speed in addition to saving raw material. in this paper, forming process of column ofa steering mechanism is investigated by finite element analyses and experimental tests; andoptimum die design parameters are found. forming process parameters including die opening angle,bearing length, clea...

In this chapter we present a study of the large scale beam break up and filamentation of femtosecond pulses in a Kerr medium. We have experimentally monitored the formation of stable light filaments, conical emission and interactions between filaments. Three major stages lead to the formation of stable light filaments: First the beam breaks up into a pattern of connected lines (constellation), ...

The diffusion-influenced translocation behavior of individual nanoparticles upon passage through a conical nanopore has been elucidated by using a pressure-reversal, resistive-pulse technique, as reported by Lan and White in this issue of ACS Nano. We outline here some recent progress in conical nanopore analysis, and we present some prospects for future developments. Compared to cylindrical na...

Timor Island situates in the southeast end of Southeast Asia. The island accommodates many ethnic groups, which produce many diverse house types. As visiting East Timor in 2012 and Timor Island in 2014, we found the “PairHouse Type” widely spread over Timor Island. Uma Lulik (holy house), accommodating the ancestry soul, fireplace and elder’s bed, and Uma Tidor (house for sleep), containing liv...

We have previously shown how femtosecond angle- and energy-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy can be used to monitor quantum wavepacket bifurcation at an avoided crossing or conical intersection and also how a symmetry-allowed conical intersection can be effectively morphed into an avoided crossing by photo-induced symmetry breaking. The latter result suggests that varying the parameters of a ...
