PURPOSE To report the application of an electrical mallet (magnetic mallet) in osteotome-assisted surgery for sinus floor elevation with implants placed in fresh sockets and 2-year follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 patients (70 implants, 36 in the molar and 34 in the premolar regions) requiring extractions of maxillary premolars and molars were included in this prospective study....

This paper presents a personalized event scheduling recommender system, PRESS, for a large conference setting with multiple parallel tracks. PRESS is a mobile application that gathers personalized information from a user and recommends talks/demos to be attend. The input from a user include a list of keyword preferences and (optionally) preferred talks. We use the MALLET topic model package to ...

The immediate goal of this study was to develop and validate a noninvasive, computational surface mapping approach for measuring scapular kinematics by using available motion capture technology in an innovative manner. The long-term goal is to facilitate clinical determination of the role of the scapula in children with brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP). The population for this study consisted...

Abstract The present study proposes an advanced force display control system for a surgical training simulator with virtual reality. In oral and orthopedic surgeries, surgeon uses chisel mallet chiseling cutting hard tissue. To enable the representation of sensation operation in simulator, device has been constructed ball-screw mechanism to obtain high stiffness. addition, two-degrees-of-freedo...

Methyl eugenol (ME) and cue-lure (C-L) traps with solid lure dispensers were deployed in areaswith low and high populations of oriental fruit ßy,Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and melonßy,Bactrocera cucurbitae(Coquillett), respectively. In low-density areas, standard Jackson traps or Hawaii Fruit Fly Areawide Pest Management (AWPM) traps with FT Mallet ME wafers impregnated with dimethyl dichlor...
