AIM The aim of this report is to highlight the efficiency of implant restoration of a shortened dental arch (SDA) for a partially edentulous patient. BACKGROUND The SDA refers to a dentition with loss of posterior teeth. The goal of dental care is the maintenance of a natural dentition with regard to esthetics, speech, chewing, and oral comfort. In order to achieve this goal several issues we...

This study developed a device measuring the X-ray source-detector angle (SDA) and evaluated the imaging performance for diagnosing chest images. The SDA device consisted of Arduino, an accelerometer and gyro sensor, and a Bluetooth module. The SDA values were compared with the values of a digital angle meter. The performance of the portable digital radiography (PDR) was evaluated using the sign...

This paper proposes the use of collaborative secondary data analysis (SDA) as a tool for building capacity in engineering education research. We first characterise value SDA to help emerging researchers develop skills qualitative analysis. then describe an ongoing collaboration that involves series workshops well two pilot projects seek and test frameworks practices identify benefits practical ...

When using domain decomposition methods without overlapping, one can focus on displacements, such as primal approaches, [11] . . . , or on efforts, such as dual approaches, [6]. Since the latin approach used herein allows interfaces to play a major role, both displacements and efforts are the unknowns; it is a “mixed” approach. A general drawback with domain decomposition methods is the decreas...

When designing model-based fault-diagnosis systems, the use of consistency relations (also called e.g. parity relations) is a common choice. Different subsets are sensitive to different subsets of faults, and thereby isolation can be achieved. This paper presents an algorithm for finding a small set of submodels that can be used to derive consistency relations with highest possible diagnosis ca...

A novel mineral slurry assaying method combining visible and near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy and traditional X-ray fluorescence has recently been developed. The improved method is capable of high-frequency assaying of slurry grades in zinc and copper flotation, thus being able to reveal possible rapid oscillations in the grades. In this study, the new measurements are used to detect osci...
