PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of a computer-aided three-dimensional planning protocol in combination with previously inserted reference mini-implants and CAD/CAM technology to restore completely edentulous patients. The study evaluated implant and superstructure survival in a prospective clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS The plan protocol called for treatment of 35 patients who were...

Analytical seismic response of multi-story building supported on base isolation system is investigated under real earthquake motion. The superstructure is idealized as a shear type flexible building with lateral degree-of-freedom at each floor. The force-deformation behaviour of the isolation system is modelled by the bi-linear behaviour which can be effectively used to model all isolation syst...

The research described in this paper focuses on the application of modal strain techniques on a multi-girder bridge superstructure with the objectives of identifying the presence of damage and detecting false damage diagnosis for such structures. The case study is a one-third scale model of a slab-on-girder composite bridge superstructure, comprised of a steel-free concrete deck with FRP rebars...

background and aims. all-on-four technique involves the use of tilted implants to allow for shorter cantilevers. this finite element analysis aimed at investigating the amount and distribution of stress in maxillary bone surrounding the implants with all-on-four vs. frequently used method with six implants technique using different numbers and inclination angles. materials and methods. a 3d ede...

As part of the study, a control scheme with adaptation coefficients neuron-fuzzy regulator implemented. The area difference method used as training for network. It improved by adding rule base, which allows choosing optimal learning rate individual neurons neural network controller applied superstructure PID in process scheme. dynamic object can function different modes. This technological oper...

Inspired by the study of Rao et al. (2019), aerodynamics a simplified frigate is investigated experimentally. The natural wake flow dynamics shown to be bi-stable at zero yaw angles, both rear ship superstructure and stern. strongly weakened stern when lifted off ground in free-stream. Perimetric cavities sufficient depth are able suppress symmetrize air-wake base pressure increases with cavity...

There have been many observations of the solar and astrophysical spectra various ions. The diagnostics these require atomic data that include energy levels, oscillator strengths, transition rates, collision strengths. These calculated using Superstructure Distorted-wave codes. We describe calculations for calculate intensity ratios compare them with to infer electron densities temperatures plas...
