Sufficient cause interactions concern cases in which there is a particular causal mechanism for some outcome that requires the presence of 2 or more specific causes to operate. Empirical conditions have been derived to test for sufficient cause interactions. However, when regression outcome models are used to control for confounding variables in tests for sufficient cause interactions, the outc...

The micro business is a marginal type characterized by the use ofrelatively simple technology, relatively small nominal level of capital, low accessto credit, and oriented towards local market needs. General problem faced inmanaging this calculation product costs, which are usually onlycalculated simply based on purchase price raw materials, while directproduction because what important smooth ...

The aim was to evaluate the adaptation of CAD/CAM occlusal veneer with different cement space settings using micro CT scan. Three groups IPS e.max-CAD lithium disilicate veneers (30, 40, and 50 µm) were produced. A circle 20 diameters centered at center same image position every scanned specimen scan measure four locations [Occlusal (OCG), axial (AXG), Marginal (MAG), absolute marginal discrepa...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the soft tissue thickness and marginal bone loss around dental implants with sloped micro-threaded shoulder (35° angle) in comparing with conventional design, inserted 35° degrees angulated in post extraction sockets and immediate loaded with temporary prosthesis simulating the all-on-four protocol. Materials and Methods: Six fox hound dogs received forty-e...

Christian Brenes: CAD/CAM MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR ALL CERAMIC RESTORATIONS: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE (Under the direction of Ibrahim Duqum) Objectives: Evaluate the marginal fit of CAD/CAM all ceramic crowns made from lithium disilicate and zirconia using two different fabrication protocols (model and model-less). METHODS: Forty anterior all ceramic restorations (20 lithium disilicate,...

Resource misallocation can lower aggregate total factor productivity (TFP). We use micro data on manufacturing establishments to quantify the potential extent of misallocation in China and India compared to the U.S. Compared to the U.S., we measure sizable gaps in marginal products of labor and capital across plants within narrowly-defined industries in China and India. When capital and labor a...

In this paper we provide a micro model of loans which the lender is a monopolistic bank and the borrower is a competitive consumer with consumption habits who may default on part of his debt. In this setting, we prove that the loan demand curve is kinked and therefore it is possible to find interest rate rigidity in equilibrium as well as asymmetric response of loans to interest rate variations...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of the margin location and an adhesive system on the marginal adaptation of composite restorations. MATERIAL AND METHODS Class V cavities were prepared in bovine teeth with the gingival margin on the dentin and the incisal margin on the enamel. The cavities were restored with a micro-hybrid composite resin using an etch-and-rinse [Single Bond 2 (SB)] ...
