objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of implant position transfer and surface detail reproduction using two impression techniques and materials. materials and methods: a metal model with two implants and three grooves of 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 mm in depth on the flat superior surface of a die was fabricated. ten regular-body polyether (pe) and 10 regular-body polyvinyl...

the ground state rotational bands of some rare earth nuclei show a rather strange behaviour at large values of angular momenta. the nuclear moment of inertia teta increases smoothly with angular momentum i up to i=12. then at about i=14 there is a sudden increase in the moment of inertia. the plot of teta versus the square of the angular velocity w gives a s-shaped curve. we attempt here to rep...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of teratogenic effect of imatinib mesylate (IM) in a newborn, whose mother was suffering from chronic myelogenous leukemia and was treated with IM for 4 years, including during her pregnancy. CASE PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION The newborn was diagnosed with microtia of the right ear, preauricular tag on the left side, absence of right depressor angular oris muscle, ...

We predict mean angular diameters and amplitudes of angular diameter variations for all monoperiodic Population I Cepheids brighter than 〈V 〉 = 8.0 mag. The catalog is intended to aid selecting most promising Cepheid targets for future interferometric observations.
