Veneer cracking or chipping is the major complication of the zirconia based restorations. Monolithic zirconia has been introduced to overcome this problem, as well as to use in patients with limited interocclusal space. Many research articles on monolithic zirconia crowns have been published in the last years. The aim of this review article was to present data about the wear, surface roughness,...

The switching power device shown in Figure 1 is called an H-Bridge. It takes a DC supply voltage and provides 4-quadrant control to a load connected between two pairs of power switching transistors. Because the switches allow current to flow bidirectionally, the voltage across the load and the direction of current through the load can be of either polarity. H-Bridges are often used to control t...

It has been conceived that children learn new objects through their affordances, that is, the actions that can be taken on them. We suggest that web pages also have affordances defined in terms of the users’ information need they meet. An assumption of the proposed approach is that different parts of a text may not be equally important / relevant to a given query. Judgment on the relevance of a...

The paradigm shift in processor design from monolithic processors to multicore has renewed interest in programming models that facilitate parallelism. While multicores are here today, the future is likely to witness architectures that use reconfigurable fabrics (FPGAs) as coprocessors. FPGAs provide an unmatched ability to tailor their circuitry per application, leading to better performance at...

When depth of flow past a river bridge exceeds opening under the bridge, the flow under the bridge becomes pressurized. The water is directed downward and under the bridge deck, causing increase in velocity and shear stress on the bed thereby increasing bed scour. This is termed as Pressure Flow Scour. The present study investigates the phenomenon of pressure flow scour resulting from a submerg...

Nanowire lithography (NWL) uses nanowires (NWs), grown and assembled by chemical methods, as etch masks to transfer their one-dimensional morphology to an underlying substrate. Here, we show that SiO2 NWs are a simple and compatible system to implement NWL on crystalline silicon and fabricate a wide range of architectures and devices. Planar field-effect transistors made of a single SOI-NW chan...

Monolithic three-dimensional (3D) integration enables the most fine-grained integration of transistors by stacking very thin layers and fabricating monolithic inter-layer vias as small as local vias. Thus, monolithic 3D integration is expected to provide a higher degree of wirelength reduction, performance improvement, and power saving. Due to the prospective properties of the monolithic 3D int...

Two formalizations of AVL trees with room for extensions. The first formalization is monolithic and shorter, the second one in two stages, longer and a bit simpler. The final implementation is the same. If you are interested in developing this further, please contact .
