This work describes an experimental evaluation of the significance of phrasal verb treatment for obtaining better quality statistical machine translation (SMT) results. Phrasal verbs are multiword expressions used frequently in English, independent of the domain and degree of formality of language. They are challenging for natural language processing due to their idiosyncratic semantic and synt...

BACKGROUND In patients with migraine, an abnormally large haemodynamic response to epileptogenic visual stimulation has previously been observed, consistent with the hypothesis of a cortical hyperexcitability. Ophthalmic filters have been used in the treatment of migraine, and they reduce the haemodynamic response. METHODS The present study used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to characteri...

A growing body of work demonstrates that the brain responds similarly to physical and social injury. Both experiences are associated with activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and anterior insula. This dual functionality of the dACC and anterior insula underscores the evolutionary importance of maintaining interpersonal bonds. Despite the weight that evolution has placed on so...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the color stability, water sorption and cytotoxicity of thermoplastic acrylic resin for the non-metal clasp dentures to those of thermoplastic polyamide and conventional heat-polymerized denture base resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of denture base resin, which are conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Paladent 20), thermoplastic po...

Background and Aim: Different attachment designs have been developed to connect implant to natural teeth in partial dentures; however, adequate studies have not been performed to determine stress distribution patterns in these designs. The present study aimed to assess stress distribution patterns in natural tooth and implant supported removable partial denture with different attachment designs...

Purpose: This study investigates the effect of two different attachment size in the single implant retained over denture on the muscle activity. Materials and Methods: Twenty completely edentulous patients were selected for the study with normal ridge size and divided into two groups. In all patients single implant was placed at the area of midline after cone beam taken. Three months later low ...

Conventional complete denture is the traditional treatment plan for the completely edentulous patient. Unfortunately, this treatment option has several complications, especially for the lower denture. The advance of a dental implant with attachment systems resolves many of these issues, particularly that related to the denture retention and stability. A wide variety of commercially available at...

Precision Agriculture approach has proved to be successful in various agricultural subbranches like precision livestock farming, precision farming, precision horticulture and precision viticulture. Apiculture or beekeeping is one of the agriculture’s sub directions, where Precision Agriculture (PA) methods can be successfully applied. Adaptation of PA methods and techniques into Apiculture, as ...
