Strairra were determined in a typical maridibiilar partial denture metal framework of the free-end saddle type. The overall strain patterirs were det,ermined using a brittle lacquer coating t,echriiqrie and loads were a.pplied vertically to positions on the saddles. The resulk from the coating study indicated the area of high strain were jrist anterior and posterior t,o t,he finishing lines. St...

This study compared surface roughness and gloss produced by different finishing/polishing procedures for two resin composites, Clearfil AP-X (AP-X) and Estelite Sigma (ES). A total of 70 composite discs (n=35 for each resin composite) were prepared and divided at random into seven finishing/polishing groups (n=5): glass-pressed control; using a super-fine-grit diamond bur (SF); using CompoMaste...

Currently, the genome sequencing community is producing shotgun sequence data at a very high rate, but finishing (collecting additional directed sequence data to close gaps and improve the quality of the data) is not matching that rate. One reason for the difference is that shotgun sequencing is highly automated but finishing is not: Most finishing decisions, such as which directed reads to obt...

In magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can remove chip from surface of work piece. In this study AL 6061 tube was considered as the work piece and the effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed of tube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. The mixture of ferromagne...

The main result of this paper is that simple (raster scan) sequential algorithms for computing Euclidean Distance Transforms can be implemented in an optimized manner from the point of view of numerical computations. We will show that these fast implementations have computational complexities comparable to the city block, chessboard and other simple chamfer Distance Transforms.

Re-distancing the implicit surface is time-consuming. We propose a fast implementation of the Chamfer distance which maintains the sub-voxel accuracy of the interface. This approximation to the Euclidean distance gives a reasonable accuracy while improving considerably the computation time.

statement of the problem: although all-ceramic restorations are broadly used, there is a lack of information concerning how their fit is affected by fabrication procedure and marginal configuration. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal fit of zirconia cad/cam ceramic crowns before and after porcelain firing. the influence of finish line configuration on the marginal f...
