background: accurate impression making is an essential prerequisite for achieving a passive fi t between the implant and the superstructure. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the three-dimensional accuracy of open-tray and three closed-tray impression techniques. materials and methods: three acrylic resin mandibular master models with four parallel implants were used: biohorizons (b...

in this paper, we introduce an efficient method based on haar wavelet to approximate a solutionfor the two-dimensional linear stochastic fredholm integral equation. we also give an example to demonstrate the accuracy of the method.

In this paper, the two-dimensional triangular orthogonal functions (2D-TFs) are applied for solving a class of nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra integral equations. 2D-TFs method transforms these integral equations into a system of linear algebraic equations. The high accuracy of this method is verified through a numerical example and comparison of the results with the other numerical methods.

In this paper, a numerical efficient method based on two-dimensional block-pulse functions (BPFs) is proposed to approximate a solution of the two-dimensional linear stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equation. Finally the accuracy of this method will be shown by an example.

Investment casting is a versatile manufacturing process to produce high quality parts with high dimensional accuracy. The process begins with the manufacture of wax patterns. The dimensional accuracy of the model affects the quality of the finished part. The present study investigated the control and optimization of dimensional deviations in wax patterns. A mold for an H-shaped wax pattern was ...

Several software programs have been designed for outcome prediction of orthodontic and surgical treatments. This study aimed to review the accuracy and characteristics of cephalometric software programs for outcome prediction of orthognathic surgeries. This study reviewed studies that compared cephalometric software programs in terms of accuracy and characteristics for outcome prediction of o...

As a widely used proliferative marker, Ki67 has important impacts on cancer prognosis, especially for breast cancer (BC). However, variations in analytical practice make it difficult for pathologists to manually measure Ki67 index. This study is to establish quantum dots (QDs)-based double imaging of nuclear Ki67 as red signal by QDs-655, cytoplasmic cytokeratin (CK) as yellow signal by QDs-585...
