A technique was developed to qualify the masking power of undiluted opaque dental porcelain by dilution of opaque powder with a clear glaze powder and by extrapolation of quantitative data gathered by reflectance spectrophotometry. Quantification of reflectance data was made on dilute opaque porcelains using the scattering and absorption coefficients in the Kubelka-Munk equation. Qualitative co...

We present bases of differential invariants for Lie pseudogroups admitted by the main models of fluid mechanics. Among them infinite-dimensional parts of symmetry groups of Navier-Stokes equations in general (V.O. Bytev, 1972) and rotationally-symmetric (L.V. Kapitanskij, 1979) cases; stationary gas dynamics equations (M. Munk, R. Prim, 1947); stationary incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamic...

Haim Munk Syndrome (HMS) is the allelic mutation of exon 6 codon in cathepsin C gene. Here, we present two cases of same family with HMS having all the cardinal features of HMS which includes palmo plantar keratoderma and periodontitis along with arachnodactyly, acroosteolysis, onychogryphosis, and marked osteopenia on hand wrist radiographs. Both the siblings were treated with cotrimoxazole, a...

Multivariate equivalence testing becomes necessary whenever the similarity rather than a difference between several treatment groups with multiple endpoints has to be shown. This problem occurs in various applications, including bioequivalence or the comparison of dissolution profiles. Therefore, several tests have been suggested during the last decade for the assessment of multivariate equival...

A completely nonparametric approach to population bioequivalence in crossover trials has been suggested by Munk and Czado (1999). It is based on the Mallows (1972) metric as a nonparametric distance measure which allows the comparison between the entire distribution functions of test and reference formulations. It was shown that a separation between carry-over and period eeects is not possible ...

SrBi4Ti4O15 is one of four-layered Aurivillius compound family member that can be used as photocatalyst material works in the violet light region. To expand its work function range conducted by doped with metal elements to results reduced band gap energy. In this research, we synthesized vanadium (SrBi4Ti4-nVnO15 (n= 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15)) molten salt method (used KCl salt). The diffractogram...
