Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of PbO nano and micro-sized fillers on ordinary and heavy concretes for different photon energies. Material and Methods: The MCNPX Monte Carlo code (version 2.6.0) was used for all simulations in the present study. A model of narrow-beam geometry was validated and utilized to calcul...

The treatment options for facial rejuvenation using dermatological, nonsurgical techniques have dramatically increased in the past 10 years. This follows the introduction of botulinum toxin and a variety of dermal fillers. The public interest in noninvasive treatments has changed the market beyond recognition with more physicians involved in providing services to satiate the demand. The impact ...

Abstrac: In this paper, the mechanical properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE grade 3840) produced by Bandare ImamIran, mixed with the wood and bagasse as fillers with 10-50 % w/w have been studied. The maximum tensile strength was observed at 10% w/w of fillers ratio. The elongation, impact strength and fracture energy were decreased with increasing of fillers ratio while the Young modu...

Fillers temporarily augment deflated or ptotic facial compartments to restore a youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acids predominate the fillers market because of their focal volumization, duration of effect, low incidence of adverse reactions, and reversibility. Being able to properly perform these in-office procedures will ensure safety for patients and provide aesthetically optimal results. Thi...

The distribution of p+ Gamow-Teller strength in 26Mg, 54Fe and 56Ni is calculated in the QRPA and large-basis shell-model spaces. The quenching relative to the simplest jj coupled model found in the QRPA is similar to that found in a shell-model basis which includes 2p2h ground-state correlations within the major shell (sd or pf). For 26Mg there is significant additional quenching found in the ...

The present study investigated the distribution of five types of fillers in Japanese-language lectures. It was found that the distribution pattern differed depending on the kind of fillers; e, eto and ma tended to appear more often at major syntactic boundaries such as sentenceand clauseboundaries than ano and sono. Sono never occurred at sentence boundaries. These findings suggest that the use...

Fillers are involved in the ease of understanding by listeners and turn-taking. However, the knowledge about its prosodic features is insufficient, and its modeling has not been done either. For these reasons, there is insufficient knowledge to generate natural and appropriate fillers in a dialog system at present. Therefore, for the purpose of clarifying the prosodic features of fillers, its r...

BACKGROUND The advent of new neuromodulators and soft-tissue fillers continues to expand the nonsurgical repertoire of the core cosmetic physician. METHODS The authors review relevant facial anatomy as it relates to facial aging and the resultant structural changes that occur. These changes are important for the cosmetic physician to identify and understand in order to perform both safe and e...

We report two naming experiments examining the effects of filler type on the size of regularity and frequency effects. Low-frequency exception words were used as one filler type in both experiments. Their effects were contrasted with the effects of nonword fillers (Experiment 1) and low-frequency regular word fillers (Experiment 2). In both experiments, the size of the regularity effect was una...

ity of participants (61%) ranging in age from 36 to 55 years. Notably, most of those responding were in the field of dermatology and dermatologic surgery (46%), the greater proportion of whom were female. In contrast, the remaining specialties were composed mainly of male surgeons. Our results indicate that a large subset of the physicians participating in this study have been injected with eit...
