background: apical leakage assessment is a way to compare the effi ciency of a fi lling material to seal the apical region of the tooth. many microleakage testing techniques have been introduced through the years, but there has been no agreement as to which technique gives the most accurate results. the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of fl uid fi ltration and bacterial leakage te...

the quality of plant stocks in the nursery has proven to be a key determinant factor in precocity of fruit bearing period and the size of tree crops. the quality of these trees is related to growth strength of the applied rootstock, the tendency of the cultivars to produce branches, the growth season's weather conditions as well as the efficiency of different treatments stimulating branchi...

Search for safety and high efficiency is the driving force in the aerospace industry. This paper reports on application of a relatively new and very promising evolutionary algorithm SOMA with the intent to answer the question on optimal wing geometry. We describe aerodynamic model of the wing, the evolutionary optimisation process and results we obtained. In this contribution present a modern, ...

accumulation of soft tissue or dentinal remnants in the apical region is a common event that can cause blockage of root canals. this event can be avoided if apical patency is performed during the root canal shaping procedures. however, there is no consensus on the role of apical patency in relation to the success of endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis. therefore, th...

This paper investigates whether torso force feedback on treadmillstyle locomotion interfaces can substitute for treadmill tilt to simulate walking on smooth inclines. The experimental platform is the Sarcos Treadport, whose active mechanical tether can apply horizontal forces to the user to simulate the gravity forces experienced in slope walking. The authors show that users are extremely sensi...

UNLABELLED Apical cardiac hypertrophy (Yamaguchi syndrome) is a relatively rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A 67-year-old woman presented with exertional angina and moderate dyspnea. Her electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, flattened T waves in the limb leads and a strain pattern in the V2-V6 leads. Echocardiographic examination showed that apical wall thickness of the left ventricle...

background: there is no conclusive evidence on the effect of orthodontic force application on dental pulp tissue. the aim of this study was to compare early and delayed histological effects of intrusive forces on dental pulp of adolescents and adults. materials and methods: patients referred to the department of orthodontics of mashhad university of medical sciences participated in this study. ...
