The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms defines the physiologic rest position (PRP) as “the mandibular position assumed when the head is in an upright positi...

We have modified one of the most useful methods of protein separation; namely, two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). This modified version of 2-DE is not only simpler and easier but also faster than all the currently available methods. In this method, isoelectric focusing is carried out in the first dimension using a vertical sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrop...

the rehabilitation of heavily abraded occlusion in patients with parafunctional habits is a restorative challenge to the dentist. use of all-ceramic systems in such cases is widely considered, but uncertainty over their resistance hinders their broad use. the authors would like to illustrate a possible approach by mixing two all-ceramic systems based on zirconium dioxide and lithium disilicate....

BACKGROUND Morphometric measurements of the corpus callosum (CC) are important to have normative values according to sex, age and race/ethnicity. OBJECTIVES This study was done to measure the size of CC and to identify its gender- and age-related differences in the North of Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS The size of CC on midsagittal section was measured in 100 (45 males, 55 females) normal sub...

In the present paper, we focus on how irrelevant implicit spatial information is processed. By irrelevant we mean information that is not required to fulfill the task and by implicit we mean information that is not directly available in the external stimulus. A good example of a task in which such information exists is the SNARC task [Dehaene, S., Bossini, S., & Giraux, P. (1993). The mental re...

Recent research on spatial number representations suggests that the number space is not necessarily horizontally organized and might also be affected by acquired associations between magnitude and sensory experiences in vertical space. Evidence for this claim is, however, controversial. The present study now aims to compare vertical and horizontal spatial associations in mental arithmetic. In E...

In the Simon task, participants respond faster when the task-irrelevant stimulus position and the response position are corresponding, for example on the same side, compared to when they have a non-corresponding relation. Interestingly, this Simon effect is reduced after non-corresponding trials. Such sequential effects can be explained in terms of a more focused processing of the relevant stim...

We present results using WRF Version 3.1 with modifications to allow for nesting with vertical grid refinement. A new switch that controls the vertical refinement factor is added to the namelist. The program ndown is modified so that when this switch is greater than 1, a high order monotonic interpolation is activated in the vertical. The fields are rebalanced to minimize the generation of tran...
