PURPOSE Aerosol deposition is a technology for coating ceramics with impact consolidation at room temperature. The aim of the present study was to investigate the thickness and the microstructure of the aluminium oxide layer on different three dental resin composite materials created by means of aerosol deposition. METHODS Disk-shaped specimens were fabricated with three resin composites (Est...

We investigate the problem of deciding whether a given preference profile is close to having a certain nice structure, as for instance single-peaked, single-caved, singlecrossing, value-restricted, best-restricted, worst-restricted, medium-restricted, or groupseparable profiles. We measure this distance by the number of voters or alternatives that have to be deleted to make the profile a nicely...

and file many suits alleging inadequate medical care. (Inadequate care is cruel and unusual punishment thatviolates the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution.) Inmates are manipulative and use the threat of suit to get the doctor to order controlled drugs and other things they want. It would have been impossible to function had I shook, quaked, and caved in at every threat. Although not empha...

Comprehensive assessments of the need for additional methane control capacity beyond ventilation often require both an empirical and theoretical approach for an adequate or timely control of increased methane emission levels. Thus, the prediction of methane emissions and optimization of methane control systems prior to starting a new mining operation will be a major improvement towards eliminat...

In the past twenty years evidence has accumulated that liquorice and related compounds accelerate the rate of healing of gastric ulcers. Powdered succus liquiritiae (Revers, 1948) and glycyrrhiza extract (Schulze, Franke, and Keller, 1954; Ferenbach, 1954; Ohrt, 1955) were shown to be beneficial in patients with gastric ulcer but adequately controlled clinical trials of liquorice extracts were ...
