objectives: indicators of oral health-related quality of life (ohrqol) in children are widely adopted to evaluate the effects of oral problems. recently, the scale of oral health outcomes for 5-year-old children (soho-5) was developed based on the children’s self-reports. this study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the persian version of the questionnaire in a sample of iranian...

Growing wire delay and clock rates limit the amount of cache accessible within a single cycle [3,13]. Cache architectures assume that each level in the cache hierarchy require a uniform access time. As microprocessor technology advance, architects must decide how to best utilize increased resources while accounting for growing wire delays and clock rates. Because on-chip communication is very c...

The concept of Network on Chip (NoC) is a promising solution for high performance computing systems. It is implemented by placing the different processing modules on a single chip allowing efficient interaction through an interconnection network. This paper presents a comparative performance study of mesh and torus commonly used interconnection networks. To compare the performance, the paramete...

In this paper, a wire mesh metallic photonic crystal is modelized as a stack of gratings of period d made of very thin infinitely metallic rods (the conductivity is assumed to be infinite) of radius a (a<<d) . This structure is illuminated by a s-polarized plane wave of wavelength lambda. First, we give the diffracted field in closed form for very large wavelengths compared to the period (lambd...

Maxillary denture bases having three types of palatal vault shapes –shallow, medium and deep– were used in this study. The reinforced materials used were the round metal wire-diametered in 1.50 mm, semirounded metal wire -thickened 1.50×0.75 mmand the stainless steel mesh (70mmx2.5mmx2.5mm). A total of 132 acrylic denture bases were prepared with the conventional method from heat-cured acrylic ...

This Note proposes a novel radial-thrust combo metal mesh foil bearing (MMFB). Although MMFBs have advantages such as higher stiffness and damping over conventional air foil bearings, studies related to MMFBs have been limited to radial MMFBs. The novel combo MMFB is composed of a radial top foil, thrust top foils, and a ring-shaped metal mesh damper--fabricated by compressing a copper wire mes...

A combined experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted to examine the thermal conductivity of layers of wire mesh screen. Employing a carefully controlled sintering process, layers of sintered wire screen were examined experimentally. The experimental results indicate that the effective thermal conductivity in the z-direction (i.e., normal to the plane of the wire screen layers) fo...

198 Triangles Std. Wire Frame 2 Triangles 32×32 Texture Finite element models used in crash worthiness simulations now contain more than one million mostly quadrilateral elements. Interactive visualization of those models for preand postprocessing applications cannot be achieved by brute force rendering of all triangles on even advanced graphics hardware. Well-known mesh simplification algorith...

The manipulation of acoustic waves is experimentally and theoretically investigated based on the concept coherent perfect absorption. It shown that absolute control antisymmetric modes an duct possible using ultrathin wire mesh. By varying relative phase two counterpropagating (normal or oblique) incident waves, absorption due to mesh can be tuned from zero unity. Experimental as well numerical...
