BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to assess the value for money achieved by bar-retained implant overdentures based on six implants compared with four implants as treatment alternatives for the edentulous maxilla. METHODS A Markov decision tree model was constructed and populated with parameter estimates for implant and denture failure as well as patient-centred health outcomes ...

We find that a steady state bar induces transient features at low velocities in the solar neighborhood velocity distribution due to the initial response of the disk, following the growth of the bar. We associate these velocity streams with two quasi-periodic orbital families, librating around the stable x1(1) and x1(2) orbits near the bar’s outer Lindblad resonance (OLR). In a reference frame m...

The Lusin Separation Theorem is one of the fundamental early results of classical descriptive set theory. It states that if A1, A2 are disjoint analytic subsets of Baire space then they are Borel separable. Yiannis Moschovakis gives two proofs in his book, “Descriptive Set Theory”. One proof is obviously highly non-constructive. The other would appear to be constructive and uses Bar Induction a...

We discuss production of neutral $D$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC (fixed target mode) framework BJM recombination model. present rapidity and transverse momentum distributions compare contribution to dominant gluon-gluon fusion mechanism. Both direct production, as dictated by matrix element, fragmentation associated $c$ or $\bar c$ are included. The latter mechanism generates ...
