Square plate with adjustable needle pointer (5). The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms defines the physiologic rest position (PRP) as “the mandibular position assumed when the head is in an upright positi...

The use of the accurate classical relaxation-effect model for frequency dispersion in normal metals at room temperature with THz structures can be mathematically cumbersome and not insightful. Recent work has demonstrated that it is possible to dramatically simplify otherwise complex analysis and allows for a much deeper insight to be gained into the classical relaxationeffect model. This paper...

This paper reports on one of a number of parallel investigations being undertaken into alternative approaches to solving part or the whole of the bus driver scheduling problem. An arti cial ant system is set up, with ants following trails through a network, each trail representing a complete bus driver schedule. Initial schedules are set up by drawing from shifts generated by other systems avai...

Keganasan sering kali terjadi di daerah rongga mulut dan biasanya dirawat melalui tindakan hemimaksilektomi. Tindakan hemimaksilektomi menimbulkan adanya defek yang membuat celah antara nasal, sehingga menyebabkan penderita kesulitan saat melakukan fungsi normal seperti menelan berbicara. Peran prostodontis dalam menangani pada maksila adalah merehabilitasi struktur intra ekstra oral untuk memu...

Resection of a malignant lesion involving the maxilla produces severe oromaxillary defect that can seriously jeopardize the normal phonetics of the patient. These defects are effectively managed by well-designed and fabricated obturator. This paper discusses the oromaxillary prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillectomy patient using a magnet retained two-piece hollow bulb definitive obturator.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a theoretical-numerical study laterally-restrained thin-walled steel rectangular hollow flange beams subjected to bending, shear and bending interaction. Finite element analyses were carried out by using ANSYS software, validated previous experimental tests. Furthermore, effect intermediate stiffeners was investigated, where improvement percentage in ...
