Surgical resection of the lips is a relatively uncommon procedure, and it usually presents surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation challenges. The goals of prosthetic treatment include regaining favorable speech and restoration of esthetics. This clinical report described a method for fabricating a lip prosthesis that uses resin-bonded retentive elements bonded to the patient's teeth for rete...

We have, in the next place, to treat of Memory and Remembering, considering its nature, its cause, and the part of the soul to which this experience, as well as that of Recollecting, belongs. For the persons who possess a retentive memory are not identical with those who excel in power of recollection; indeed, as a rule, slow people have a good memory, whereas those who are quick-witted and cle...

To resist these forces, dentistry has developed a wide variety of mechanical attachments that include circumferential clasps, bar clasps, indirect retainers, ring clasps, reverse loop clasps, hybrid clasps; and an assortment of precision attachments that include springs, flanges, snaps, latches, plungers and retentive arms. Despite dramatic differences in design, virtually all of these retentio...

The Internet-of-Things requires end-nodes with ultra-low-power always-on capability for a long battery lifetime, as well high performance, energy efficiency, and extreme flexibility to deal complex fast-evolving near-sensor analytics algorithms (NSAAs). We present Vega, an IoT end-node SoC capable of scaling from 1.7 $\mathrm{\mu}$W fully retentive cognitive sleep mode up 32.2 GOPS (@ 49.4 mW) ...

sufficient to meet bacterial needs (let alone the needs of other consumers) to one in which bacterial needs are very much less than available carbon, thereby solving the budgetary problems discussed in the closing paragraphs of Scavia and Laird’s paper. Similarly, an explicit consideration of the recycling of organic carbon by consumers may help to explain apparently excessive demands of consum...

We address the problem of predicting the size of the search tree explored by Depth-First Branch and Bound (DFBnB) while solving optimization problems over graphical models. Building upon methodology introduced by Knuth and his student Chen, this paper presents a memory-efficient scheme called Retentive Stratified Sampling (RSS). Through empirical evaluation on probabilistic graphical models fro...
