Centrifugal fertilizer spreaders are by far the most commonly used granular fertilizer spreader type in Europe. Their spread pattern however is error-prone, potentially leading to an undesired distribution of particles in the field and losses out of the field, which is often caused by poor calibration of the spreader for the specific fertilizer used. Due to the large environmental impact of fer...

Nickel plated copper heat spreader acts as a medium to dissipate heat from silicon die towards heat-sink. Electroless nickel plating requires catalytic activation before the nickel can be deposited onto copper. Different catalytic activation techniques such as galvanic initiation and thin nickel-copper electrodeposition have diverse impact on the thermal performance of the heat spreader. Surfac...

OBJECTIVES To quantify changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal valve after placement of spreader grafts and flaring sutures and to review clinical outcomes after nasal valve surgery. DESIGN The minimal cross-sectional area of cadaveric nasal valves was measured after placement of spreader grafts and flaring sutures. Clinical outcomes for patients undergoing functional rhinoplasty wer...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to volumetrically assess alterations of the ridge contour after socket preservation and buccal overbuilding. MATERIAL AND METHODS In five beagle dogs, four extraction sites were subjected to one of the following treatments: Tx 1: The socket was filled with BioOss Collagen and covered with a free gingival autograft from the palate (SP). Tx 2: The buccal bone...

Introduction: Lateral condensation effectiveness may be influenced by the gutta-percha and finger spreader taper used during root canal obturation. Objective: To evaluate the penetration ability of finger spreader into simulated root canals prepared using MTwo rotary system and filled with different gutta-percha and finger spreader tapers. Material and methods: Resin blocks with curved root can...
