The emergence and development of resin-based materials, such as resin composites adhesive systems, have shifted the restorative treatment anterior teeth with caries lesions and/or fractures. Thus, based on disadvantages indirect restorations, direct esthetic restorations are options even for exten sive loss hard tissues. This study aimed to describe discuss composite restoration performed solve...

Textile structures are engineered and fabricated to meet worldwide structural applications. Nevertheless, research varying textile structure on natural fibre as composite reinforcement was found to be very limited. Most of the research is focusing on short fibre and random discontinuous orientation of the reinforcement structure. Realizing that natural fibre (NF) composite had been widely devel...

This work modelled the spatial distribution of the rodent species that act as hosts in the transmission cycle of the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. The rodent distribution was modelled in relation to landscape characteristics in four ways, using (1) a Landsat ETM+ derived hard classification, (2) single-image Landsat ETM+ derived NDVI, (3) single-image MODIS 16-day composite ND...

Advances in microsurgical techniques and immunomodulatory protocols have contributed to the expansion of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) with very encouraging immunological, functional, and cosmetic results. Rejection remains however a major hurdle that portends serious threats to recipients. Rejection features in VCA have been described in a number of studies, and an internati...

Due to the dimension and the dependency structure of genetic data, composite likelihood methods have found their natural place in the statistical methodology involving such data. After a brief description of the type of data one encounters in population genetic studies, we introduce the questions of interest concerning the main genetic parameters in population genetics, and present an up-to-dat...

The thermal expansion behaviour of silicon carbide (SCS-2) fibre reinforced 6061 aluminium matrix composite subjected to the influenced thermal mechanical cycling (TMC) process were investigated. The thermal stress has important effect on the longitudinal thermal expansion coefficient of the composites. The present paper used experimental data of the thermal expansion behaviour of a SiC/Al comp...

The conversation model captures interactions among the components of a composite web service. A conversation is the global sequence of messages exchanged among the components. We discuss the impact of asynchronous communication on the conversation behavior. It turns out that the conversation behavior is significantly different for synchronous and asynchronous communication and demands new techn...
