Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention for the treatment of pathogenic biofilm associated with peridontitis and peri-implantitis. However, data from randomized controlled clinical studies (RCTs) are limited and, to some extent, controversial, making it difficult to provide appropriate recommendations. Therefore, the aims of the present study were (a) to provide an...

This paper presents the main characteristics of the 3axis milling machine retrofitted with the Linux-based CNC open architecture control system. It is developed on the basis of a technologically outdated industrial planing machine, which was redesigned for the purpose of the technological project “Intelligent Monitoring of a Machine Tool Main Spindle”. The new machine is intended to be used for...

Drag is one of the main factors in improving fuel efficiency. Various study regards to improve drag performance a planing hull amongst them stern flap. The parameters design flap are span length and angle works by changing pressure distribution over ship's bottom creating lift force on transom part. This aims analyze behavior variations towards Fridsma form. Finite Volume Method (FVM) Reynolds-...
