Microstomia is an abnormally reduced oral aperture.In the literature, it is not classified by any particular size Wooden Sleigh criteria, rather defined by its effects on function and esthetics.Prosthodontic management of edentulous patients with microstomia is a challenging task.Use of conventional methods for recording an impression and fabricati
This article analyzes an olive oil mill formed of four conical stones used in the milling of the olive.To this end, a study of computer-aided engineering (CAE) was carried out using the parametric software Autodesk Inventor Professional, consisting of a static analysis using the finite-element method (FEM) of the three-dimensional (3D) model of the
Abstract Background The influx of leukocytes into the central nervous system (CNS) is a key hallmark of the chronic neuro-inflammatory disease multiple sclerosis (MS).Strategies that aim to inhibit leukocyte migration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are therefore regarded as promising therapeutic approaches to combat MS.As the CD40L-CD40 dyad
In recent years, marine exploration has become one of the most popular research subjects.At present, gliders in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) are equipped with a variety of sensors, which can play an important role in marine detection and monitoring.In addition, gliders also have the ability of data collection bat and storage.When coe
Merge mode can achieve a considerable coding gain because of reducing the cost of coding motion information in video codecs.However, the simple adoption of the motion information from the neighbouring blocks may not achieve the optimal performance as the motion correlation between the pixels and the neighbouring block decreases with their distance
