Pressure measurements were made at four sites on the right foot of six normal subjects while they walked in a standard shoe, conventional padded cast, total contact cast, and again in a shoe. No differences in mean relative pressure were found between the padded cast and the total-contact cast. Significant reductions in mean relative pressure were found between the standard shoe and walking cas...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Little peer-reviewed information is available regarding the accuracy and reproducibility of digitally fabricated casts compared to conventional nondigital methods. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of a digital impression and cast fabrication with a conventional impression and cast fabrication. MATERIAL AND METHOD...

the hot charging of continuously cast slabs steel is usually considered an effective method to reduce theenergy consumption in the hot rolling mills. in this work the application and optimizing of hot charging ofcontinuously cast slab in mobareke steel company has been investigated. mathematical relationship betweenthe cooling time of the stack of slabs and its mass average temperature is descr...

Moving shadow detection is an important topic in computer vision applications, including video conference, vehicle tracking, and three-dimensional (3-D) object identification, and has been actively investigated in recent years. Because, in real world scenes, moving cast shadows may be detected as foreground object and plauge the moving objects segmentation. For example, in traffic surveillance ...

Power dissipation of chips has been raising faster than the technology needed to economically cool them. Especially in the high performance arena. To get high efficiency heatsinks presently, extrusions are machined or entire heatsinks are machined with strategically arranged fins. These methods are not as effective in high component densities or cost sensitive units compared to newer, porosity ...

OBJECTIVES This study assessed the effect of cast rectifiers on the marginal misfit of cast UCLA abutments compared to premachined UCLA abutments. The influence of casting and porcelain baking on the marginal misfit of these components was also investigated. METHODS Two groups were analyzed: test group - 10 cast UCLA abutments, finished with cast rectifier and submitted to ceramic application...

BACKGROUND High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a promising tool to assess the fracture-healing process at the microscale in vivo. Since casts are often used during fracture treatment, they might affect the assessment of bone density, microarchitectural, and biomechanical parameters and the short-term reproducibility of those parameters, e.g., as a result of ...
