Conflicting data exist on the combined use of grafting materials and barrier membranes in comparison to guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with membrane alone. The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes of GTR with collagen membrane (CM) alone (control group) or CM combined with autogenous bone graft (test group 1) or autogenous bone mixed with bioactive glass (test group 2...

Intervention Participants were allocated to 1 of three 30 minute exposure conditions: GTR (n=13); SBU (n=17); and exposure alone (n=12). Exposure consisted of 2 BATs: a claustrophobia chamber (BAT 1) and a tall filing cabinet (BAT 2). All participants were told that claustrophobia is driven by concerns about lack of fresh air or being trapped. The GTR group was told of the efficacy of eliminati...

The research on human cognition has recently benefited from the use of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space. However, cognitive situations exist which indicate that the Hilbert space structure, and the associated Born rule, would be insufficient to provide a satisfactory modeling of the collected data, so that one needs to go beyond Hilbert space. In Part I of this pape...

Barrier membranes that are used for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) therapy usually lack bioactivity and the capability to promote new bone tissue formation. However, the incorporation of an osteogenic agent into polymeric membranes seems to be the most assertive strategy to enhance their regenerative potential. Here, the manufacturing of composite electrospun membranes made of poly (ε-caprola...

This document explores the links between the proposed “grand unified theory (GTU)” based on a SU(5) model and the theory involving extended Lie products (ELP). A special focus is given to some EM fields obtained via a Cartan-like procedure rebuilding the general theory of relativity (GTR) with the variations of the basis vectors up to the second order (the so-called GTR2 – see link in the bibli...

Inference of evolutionary trees and rates from biological sequences is commonly performed using continuous-time Markov models of character change. The Markov process evolves along an unknown tree while observations arise only from the tips of the tree. Rate heterogeneity is present in most real data sets and is accounted for by the use of flexible mixture models where each site is allowed its o...

This paper presents the first laboratory study of four materials (three lateritic soils and one sandy soil) mainly used in road construction French Guiana. The analysis macroscopic behaviour by physical tests, following standards, made it possible to classify group samples with respect rules specified Guide des Terrassements Routiers (GTR). According GTR, these raw could only be as backfill und...

The use of waste materials to make eco-friendly wood-polymer composites has been explored by many researchers for academic and industrial purposes due the low cost, biodegradability, availability wood flour. Polypropylene (PP)/ground tyre rubber (GTR)/wood flour (WF) were prepared using an internal batch mixer at a temperature 165 °C 8 min, samples injection-moulded 190 with pressure 6 MPa. des...
