OBJECTIVES This study investigated the shear bond strength (SBS) and the tensile bond strength (TBS) of the zirconia-to-resin interface using different cement bonding concepts. METHODS Coplanar zirconia specimens were bonded to CoCr-cylinders measuring 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height. All bonding areas were first sandblasted with 110 μm Al(2)O(3) (0.28 MPa, 10 s). SBS and TBS were determi...

We examined if the micro-blog comments given by people after reading a web document could be exploited to improve the accuracy of a web document summarization system. We examined the effect of social information (i.e. tweets) on the accuracy of the generated summaries by comparing the user preference of TBS (TweetBiased Summary) with GS (Generic Summary) in a crowdsourcing-based evaluation. Com...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether different exercise loading is associated with lumbar vertebral texture as assessed with Trabecular Bone Score (TBS). METHODS Data from 88 Finnish female athletes and 19 habitually active women (reference group) were analyzed. Participants' mean age was 24.3 years (range 17-40 years). Athletes were divided into five specific exercise loading groups according to spo...

Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) can be a non-invasive technique to modulate cognitive functions, with promising therapeutic potential, but with some contradictory results. Event related potentials are used as a marker of brain deterioration and can be used to evaluate TBS-related cognitive performance, but its use remains scant. This study aimed to study bilateral inhibitory and excitatory TBS ef...

Using a drone as an aerial base station (ABS) to provide coverage to users on the ground is envisaged as a promising solution for beyond fifth generation (beyond-5G) wireless networks. While the literature to date has examined downlink cellular networks with ABSs, we consider an uplink cellular network with an ABS. Specifically, we analyze the use of an underlay ABS to provide coverage for a te...

It is a known fact that there is a relationship between magnitude of bonded area and laboratory tensile test results. This relationship has been described for a range of areas between 1 and 10 mm(2), in extracted, nonperfused teeth. The aim of this study is to test this relationship in perfused teeth, with bonded areas ranging from 0.7 to 110.9 mm(2). Dentin of 92 sound third human molars was e...

1. Field potential recordings were used in rat motor cortex (MI) slice preparations to investigate the potential for activity-dependent modifications in the effectiveness of synaptic connections formed by layer II/III horizontal projections. 2. Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic efficacy in MI horizontal pathways could be produced at short (0.5 mm) and long (1.0 mm) distances by theta bur...

p150(Glued) is the major subunit of dynactin, a complex that functions with dynein in minus-end-directed microtubule transport. Mutations within the p150(Glued) CAP-Gly microtubule-binding domain cause neurodegenerative diseases through an unclear mechanism. A p150(Glued) motor neuron degenerative disease-associated mutation introduced into the Drosophila Glued locus generates a partial loss-of...

(243 words) 21 Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a form of synaptic plasticity thought to underlie 22 memory; thus, knowing its developmental profile is fundamental to understanding 23 function. Like memory, LTP has multiple phases with distinct timing and mechanisms. 24 The late phase of LTP (L-LTP), lasting longer than 3 hours, is protein synthesis-25 dependent and involves changes in the struc...

Hama tikus masih menjadi musuh petani dalam budidaya padi, sementara itu teknologi pengendalian yang digunakan belum efektif untuk mengatasi hama tikus. Kajian ini bertujuan mengetahui perilaku dengan Trap Barrier System (TBS) pada tanaman padi sawah meliputi pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan petani. menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, dianalisis secara deskriptif. Waktu pelaksanaan kajian s...
