Congenital fusion of the maxilla and the mandible is a rare condition. The extent of the problem ranges from simple mucosal adhesion (synechia) to severe bony fusion (syngnathia). Here we present a patient with zygomatico-mandibular fusion who was treated at neonatal and infancy periods at three different stages without tracheostomy. Having had recurrence for two times, porcine grafting was per...

service availability is important for any organization. this has become more important with the increase of dos attacks. it is therefore essential to assess the threat on service availability. we have proposed a new model for threat assessment on service availability with a data fusion approach. we have selected three more important criteria for evaluating the threat on service availability and...

background:   after cervical discectomy, autogenetic bone is packed into the cage to increase the rate of :union: between adjacent vertebral bodies, but donor site–related complications can still occur. in this study we evaluate the use   of hydroxyapatite granules as a substitute for autograft for interbody fusion.     methods:   from november 2008 to november 2011, 236 patients participated i...

The purpose of multi-focus image fusion is gathering the essential information and the focused parts from the input multi-focus images into a single image. These multi-focus images are captured with different depths of focus of cameras. A lot of multi-focus image fusion techniques have been introduced using considering the focus measurement in the spatial domain. However, the multi-focus image ...

The involvement of skeletal muscle in the process of palatal development in mammals is an example of Waddingtonian epigenetics. Our earlier study showed that the cleft palate develops in the complete absence of skeletal musculature during embryonic development in mice. This contrasts with previous beliefs that tongue obstruction prevents the elevation and fusion of the palatal shelves. We argue...

in this paper, we first show that the tensor product of a finite number of standard g-frames (resp. fusion frames, frames) is a standard g-frame (resp. fusion frame, frame) for the tensor product of hilbert $c^ast-$ modules and vice versa, then we consider tensor products of g-bessel multipliers, bessel multipliers and bessel fusion multipliers in hilbert $c^ast-$modules. moreover, we obtain so...
