The accidental swallowing of prosthetic devices has been discussed in the relevant literature as an unusual, although ordinary, event in clinical practice. This article aims at reporting the ingestion of an inter-occlusal device used to restore the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) which, during the ingestion of an analgesic pill, was accidentally swallowed. The patient was sent to the Clin...

Innovative forms of collaborations between companies have been proposed and modelled in literature in recent years. There is an increasing demand in the industrial world for concretely implement this new forms of collaborations. For example, demand often comes from pre-existent form of clusters or consortiums, which want to evolve to more efficient forms of collaboration. On the basis of a meth...

Prosthetic-restorative approach for the restoration of tooth wear. Case report Objective. This article presents a case report of combined prosthetic-adhesive rehabilitation in a patient with a generalized tooth wear. Methods. A combined treatment adhesive prosthetic was proposed to a male patient of 65 years old having a clinically significant tooth wear, with dentine exposure and with a reduct...

Aggregate production planning (APP) is one of the most important issues carried out in manufacturing environments which seeks efficient planning, scheduling and coordination of all production activities that optimizes the company's objectives. In this paper, we develop a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for an integrated aggregate production planning system with closed loop supply ...

literature since there is no reliable and universally accepted method for resolving it (Bratu et al 2003, Sigurd et al 1983, Lejoyeux 1968). As it is a step of major importance, which precedes the correct account of the centric relation (CR), there is currently still high interest in finding new approaches. The current methodology involves two branches: (1) using physiological methods at the ex...

A new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customers' locations and demands is developed in this paper. The model is formulated into the frameworks of the expected value model (EVM) and the chance-constrained programming (CCP) based on two different distance measures. In order to solve the model, two hybrid intelligent algorithms a...

DDoS-for-hire services, also known as booters, have commoditized DDoS attacks and enabled abusive subscribers of these services to cheaply extort, harass and intimidate businesses and people by taking them offline. However, due to the underground nature of these booters, little is known about their underlying technical and business structure. In this paper, we empirically measure many facets of...
