Several articles have been written on the use of intraoral vertical subcondylar or inverted “L” osteotomies. le4 Although these procedures have been popular with surgeons to set the mandible back, a disadvantage is the necessary use of maxillomandibular fixation for 6 to 12 weeks. Paulus and Steinhauser’ have described lag screw fixation of vertical subcondylar osteotomies. However, they noted ...

Main problems of mobile computing are connections setbacks, bandwidth, heterogeneous webs and bottleneck issues. With the advent of the Internet and the plurality and collection of elaborate requests it held alongside it, the demand for extra elevated services on cellular phones is increasingly becoming urgent. Unfortunately, the new enabling technologies did not prosper in boosting new service...

mation superhighway have brought the countries of the world closer. From a business perspective, the world is one marketplace. The American pharmaceutical industry has played a pioneering role in the development of the drug industry through in-depth, timely, and useful research and bulk manufacturing of drug products. Although the US pharmaceutical industry is enjoying the leadership position, ...

Vegetation belongs to the components of the Earth surface, which are most extensively studied using historic and present satellite records. Recently, these records exceeded a 30-year time span composed of preprocessed fortnightly observations (1981–2011). The existence of monotonic changes and trend shifts present in such records has previously been demonstrated. However, information on timing ...

An autonomous spacecraft must balance long-term and short-term considerations. It must perform purposeful activities that ensure long-term science and engineering goals are achieved and ensure that it maintains positive resource margins. This requires planning in advance to avoid a series of shortsighted decisions that can lead to failure. However, it must also respond in a timely fashion to a ...

One of the recent challenges in the aerospace industry has been to smoothly transition operations-oriented computer systems to meet increasing demands on smaller budgets. Sometimes the best solution is not affordable, but the current situation is equally untenable. Change becomes necessary, but is only acceptable at minimal operational impact and financial costs. Frequently, interim software so...

Having as a starting point the idea of creating a structure with an iconic design, the current article presents all the technical solutions and steps followed in the process of creating this special structure. The structure, having the destination of a showroom for an auto dealer, is presented with an unconventional design of the roof: a roof structure having a double curvature. Starting from a...

As the recent collection of papers from the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) Series indicates, knowledge is leading to considerable action in the United States (U.S.) Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The QUERI Series offers clinical researchers, implementation scientists, health systems, and health research funders from around the globe a unique window into the both the pract...

Serving large number of users without compromising service availability and performance is key to the success of the Cloud. A fundamental challenge in building such services is incorporating scalability and fail safe techniques for discovering and provisioning of resources. As Peer to Peer (P2P) architectures are invincible to these setbacks, the work proposes a P2P based resource discovery and...
