Whither Advanced Placement?

Whither the Future of NSF Advanced Computing Infrastructure?

Advanced dental implant placement techniques

The availability of in office Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanners, dental implant planning software, CAD CAM milling, and rapid printing technologies allow for the precise placement of dental implants and immediate prosthetic temporization. These technologies allow for flapless implant placement, or open flap bone reduction for "All on 4" techniques with improved preoperative planning and intraoperati...

Whither Magnesium?

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12, an atomic weight of 24, and the common oxidation number 12. Magnesium is an alkaline metal and the eighth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, where it constitutes about 2% by mass, and ninth in the Universe. Magnesium is easily built up in supernova stars by the sequential addition of three helium nuclei to carbon. Magnesium ion...

Whither metacognition

We invited several people to make a contribution to the Special Section of LEAID onmetacognition and learning. Our aimwas to publish empirical papers that examine the role of metacognitive abilities and skills in a variety of decision-making and learning environments. Studies reporting creative uses and assessments of metacognitive constructs were particularly encouraged and the focus was suppo...
