The products of graphic design applications leave behind traces of digital information which can be used during a digital forensic investigation in cases where counterfeit documents have been created. This paper analyzes the digital forensics involved in the creation of counterfeit documents. This is achieved by first recognizing the digital forensic artifacts left behind from the use of graphi...

background and aims. the manufacturing process of rotary ni-ti file can influence its resistance to fracture. the rotary profile (dentsply-maillefer, baillagues, switzerland) is manufactured by grinding mechanism whereas twisted file (sybron endo, usa) is manufactured with a twisting method. the purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate the effect of manufacturing process on distortio...

Introduction. Biologic, physioliogic and mechanical principles need to be considered and carefully coordinated in the establishment of the total denture design and occlusion. The aim of the authors is to share their experience with total denture treatment by patients, edentulous more than 6 years, using the method of intraoral registration of the position of the lower jaw by Gerber and arrangin...

Springer Preface These notes were developed whilst giving a graduate lecture course (Nachdiplomvor-lesung) in the fall of 2012 at the Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik (FIM), ETH Zürich, Switzerland. The same course was given in the spring of 2013 at Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT), Guanajuato, Mexico and, simultaneously by video-link, at the Instituto de Mathemáticas, UNAM in Me...
