Aim: To investigate the dental morphology of incisors of the Southern Chinese and compare these with studies in different populations. Materials and Methods: The dental morphology of study casts of an unselected sample from a 12 year old Hong Kong Oral Health Survey of 12 year old children (n=459; 295 boys and 164 girls) were studied. Results: The moderate types of shovel-shaped central incisor...

the load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. the cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. the tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...

The aim of this paper is to describe a unique and unusual case of concomitant appearance of morphological dental anomalies in the maxillary anterior region, along with its management in a patient with no systemic abnormality. This case report describes the clinical and radiographic features of talon cusp, dens invaginatus, shovel-shaped incisors and a supernumerary tooth occurring in a single p...

Mining shovels or excavators are basic equipment designed to dig and load material in surface mines. They are often considered the major material-handling equipment for high-production, low-cost operations (HPLC). The selection of an appropriate shovel for any HPLC operation is of critical importance because the overall production of the mine is measured in terms of material handled by a princi...

Sandy clay loam has the characteristics of both sand and clay. Because these characteristics, frictional resistance adhesive occur between soil tillage tool. The combined effect two forces increases external friction angle tool, thus increasing working resistance. To address this issue, study investigated coupling high pressure hot air on by using a self-developed device to measure angle. Test ...

7 EDITORIAL Please cite this paper as: White, J. Going native (or not): Five questions to ask mobile application developers. Introduction I recently needed a new shovel. At the hardware store I was, as always, taken aback at the range of options available to me, and the range of prices I could pay. Hardware store regulars will know that this is true of everything from lawnmowers to screwdrivers...

When listening to spoken language, bilinguals access words in both of their languages at the same time; this co-activation is often driven by phonological input mapping to candidates in multiple languages during online comprehension. Here, we examined whether cross-linguistic activation could occur covertly when the input does not overtly cue words in the non-target language. When asked in Engl...
