aown to the skull, situated 3i in. above the outer extremity of the right eyebrow. The frontal bone was fractured, the line of fracture being continuous with the line of fracture mentioned under injury No. 2. 4A lacerated wound directed transversely on the back of the head, 3 in. above the nape of the neck. 5. An abrasion on the right shoulder. 6. An abrasion on the right knee cap. 7. An abrasi...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of a filled sealant with a drying agent (UltraSeal XT plus), a filled sealant (Prismashield) and an unfilled sealant (Delton), after conventional, bur, and air-abrasion tooth preparation techniques. SETTING The study was completed in a clinical setting at the Simulated Practice Environment Clinic, School of Dentistry, University...

Abrasion susceptibility of highway pavements has a great impact on the skid resistance, and consequently accident rate. A rotational abrasion device is introduced, providing the advantage of field simulation of wheel passage, in comparison with existing standard methods. The device was used to measure abrasion susceptibility of concrete pavements with different textures. The obtained results we...

According to abrasion process of machine equipment parts of overhead line system for traction power supply and characters of wear-out failures, considering on factor changes of all kinds of production conditions in practical operation, set permit of abrasion loss in coordinating with normal distribution, and abrasion loss of parts as random variables, and then establish the relation between mai...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Despite of many studies conducted on toothbrushes and toothpaste to find out the culprit for abrasion, there is no clear cut evidence to pin point the real cause for abrasion. PURPOSE An in vitro assessment of the role of different types of toothbrushes (soft/ medium/hard) in abrasion process when used in conjunction with and without a dentifrice. MATERIALS AND METH...

OBJECTIVE To investigate eye injuries resulting from frontal automobile crashes and to determine the effects of frontal air bags. METHODS The National Automotive Sampling System database files from January 1, 1993, through December 31, 1999, were examined in a 3-part study that included an investigation of 22 236 individual crashes that occurred in the United States. A new 4-level eye injury ...
