ackground and aim: it is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. material and methods: the orthopantomogram (opg) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3d modeled. the stress-deformation analysis ...

At Asiacrypt 2014, Hanser and Slamanig presented a new cryptographic primitive called structure-preserving signature scheme on equivalence classes in the message space (G1), where G1 is some additive cyclic group. Based on the signature scheme, they constructed an efficient multi-show attribute-based anonymous credential system that allows to encode an arbitrary number of attributes. The signat...

A graph G with vertex set V is said to be n-existentially closed if, for every S ⊂ V with |S| = n and every T ⊆ S, there exists a vertex x ∈ V − S such that x is adjacent to each vertex of T but is adjacent to no vertex of S − T . Given a combinatorial design D with block set B, its block-intersection graph GD is the graph having vertex set B such that two vertices b1 and b2 are adjacent if and...

This paper explores seemingly puzzling subject-verb agreement patterns with Finnish numeral noun constructions (NNCs, e.g. three birds) in subject position, which can occur singular or plural verbs. alternation is not predicted by current theories. Building on properties of independent NNCs, I argue that the data be reconciled prior analyses if we analyze verb number marking as dependent refere...

This study was designed to examine the metabolic fate of exogenous lauric acid in cultured rat hepatocytes, in terms of both lipid metabolism and acylation of proteins. Radiolabeled [14C]-lauric acid at 0.1 mM in the culture medium was rapidly taken up by the cells (94.8 +/- 2.2% of the initial radioactivity was cleared from the medium after a 4 h incubation) but its incorporation into cellular...

myiasis caused by the larvae of c.bezziana has been reported in man, cattle, cats, water buffalo, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, dogs, camels and elephants from asia and africa. although human infestation o with this parasite is commonly found in cattle-raising areas, cases of urogenital myiasis are rarely reported. this is the first cases report of urogenital infestation with the larvae of c. ...
