INTRODUCTION Since almost all industrial scale columns are round, the side downcomers present unique challenges for liquid distribution both to and from the downcomers. Liquid leaving these downcomers needs to spread outwardly, away from the flow path centerline, in order to evenly feed the diverging tray active area. Also, one of the characteristics of side downcomers is that they naturally te...

From a design and hydraulic standpoint, trays are relatively complex distillation internals. In the ongoing search for higher performance trays, one first must understand the hydraulic and mass transfer aspects of the tray operation such as entrainment, downcomer flooding, and vapor liquid contact. When this is well understood, then various aspects of the deck and/or downcomer designs can more ...

INTRODUCTION A computer model quantified and compared muscle lengths and moment arms of two different reverse shoulder arthroplasty humeral tray designs during two different motions. METHODS The computer model simulated internal/ external rotation and abduction in the scapular plane for the normal shoulder, the 38 mm non-offset, and the 38 mm posterior-superior offset reverse shoulders. Muscl...

A study was conducted to find out the optimum tray load and drier type for the drying of osmosed mango, guava slices and aonla segments. The osmosed slices and segments were dehydrated in a cabinet drier, low temperature drier and vacuum drier with the tray loads of 0.30, 0.35, 0.40 and 0.45 g/cm. On the basis of, correlation and regression analyses performed by using dehydration time (h), drie...

Introduction also be used for multiple restorations! or fixed partial dentures up to four units. However, if the most posterior tooth in the arch is prepared for a fixed partial denture, the patient may close at a decreased vertical dimension of occlusion, which would result in a significant negative occlusal error. Care must be excercised when this type of impression tray is used. Before the i...

PURPOSE This study compared the accuracy of an abutment-framework (A-F) taken with open tray impression technique combining cementon crown abutments, a metal framework and resin cement to closed tray and resin-splinted open tray impression techniques for the 3-implant definitive casts. The effect of angulation on the accuracy of these 3 techniques was also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thre...

• Methods: Case series data were analyzed from 66 failing periodontal maintenance patients who had exhausted treatment options before using prescription trays with a 1.7% hydrogen peroxide gel once or twice daily for two-and-a-half to five years. Data included pocket probing depths (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), smoking status, and compliance with tray usage. Data were collected prior to tra...

In this study, the author attempted to explicate the infuluence of thedifference in the impression methods for the simulation models based on the hypothetical pressure-displaceability and the form of the alveolar ridge on the reproducibility of the measuring models. For this purpose, the reproducibility of the master cast were examined by use of the threedimensional position-reproducing apparat...
