Let M be a simple 3-manifold with a toral boundary component ∂0M . If Dehn filling M along ∂0M one way produces a toroidal manifold and Dehn filling M along ∂0M another way produces a boundary-reducible manifold, then we show that the absolute value of the intersection number on ∂0M of the two filling slopes is at most two. In the special case that the boundary-reducing filling is actually a so...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between appearance of angiographic early venous filling during intra-arterial reperfusion therapy and posttherapeutic hemorrhagic complications. METHODS For the past 7 years, 104 patients prospectively underwent superselective local angiography via a microcatheter before and during intra-arterial reperfusion ther...

Introduction: Posterior composites are one of the most popular filling materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the problems of general dentists during and after posterior composite restorations in city of Babol. Materials &Methods: In this study, data were collected using questionnaire about the problems during and after posterior composite filling. Then data were analyzed by chi sq...

This work demonstrates the dynamic through-silicon-via (TSV) filling process through staged electrodeposition experiments at different current densities. Different morphologies corresponding to TSV filling results can be obtained by controlling the applied current density. Specifically, a low current density (4 mA/cm2) induces seam defect filling, a medium current density (7 mA/cm2) induces def...

The noninvasive measurement of left ventricular filling has relied predominantly on radionuclide-derived peak filling rate normalized to end-diastolic volume. Doppler echocardiography also has the ability to measure peak filling rate, but wide application of this technique has been limited by technical errors involved in quantitative echocardiographic determination of mitral anulus cross-sectio...

We investigated left ventricular (LV) early diastolic filling in 10 normal conscious dogs that had been previously instrumented to measure LV and left atrial (LA) pressures and three orthogonal LV internal dimensions. LV volume was calculated as a general ellipsoid. The pressure within a passive structure increases as it is filled. If myocardial relaxation is rapid enough to substantially aid L...

Lodging-resistant rice (Oryza sativa) cultivars usually show slow grain filling when nitrogen is applied in large amounts. This study investigated the possibility that a hormonal change may mediate the effect of water deficit that enhances whole plant senescence and speeds up grain filling. Two rice cultivars showing high lodging resistance and slow grain filling were field grown and applied wi...

during grain development, appropriate water status of soil has key importance for starch accumulation in grains and hormone changes. for this, the study carried out on two iranian wheat cultivars pishtaz and karaj 3 in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications under irrigated and drought in a field experiment at research farm of agriculture college...
