OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different surface conditioning methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets bonded directly to gold alloy with chemically cured resin. METHODS Two hundred ten type III gold alloy specimens were randomly divided into six groups according to the combination of three different surface conditioning methods (alu...

introduction: allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) has been reported to be a successful curative treatment in aml patients. myeloablative conditioning (mac) is used more frequent as a preparing regimen. this study attempts to compare the outcome of patients who has received mac and reduced- intensity conditioning (ric). methods: totally, 618 patients with aml underwent hsct...

The conditioning and accuracy of various inverse surface-source formulations are investigated. First, the normal systems equations discussed. Second, different implementations zero-field condition analyzed regarding their effect on solution accuracy, conditioning, source ambiguity. weighting Love-current side constraint is investigated in order to provide an accurate problem-independent methodo...

The major function of the nose is to warm and humidify air before it reaches to the lungs for gas exchange. Conditioning of inspired air is achieved through evaporation of water from the epithelial surface. The continuous need to condition air leads to a hyperosmolar environment on the surface of the epithelium. As ventilation increases, the hyperosmolar surface moves more distally, covering a ...
