OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the influence of bone mineral density on the primary stability of dental implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search of health science databases (Cochrane Library, MEDLINE-PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, LILACS) and grey literature was performed, including papers published until January 2011. The main key words used were "bone d...

Introduction: Wark-Lovering (WL) rims [1] surrounding many refractory inclusions represent marker events in the early evolution of the Solar System in which many inclusions were exposed to changes in pressure [2], temperature [3], and isotopic reservoirs [4-7]. The effects of these events can be complex, not only producing mineralogical variability of WL rims [2], but also leading to mineralogi...

The source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. The source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the Storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (Middle Jurassic Great Oolite Formation, Weald Basin, onshore UK) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...

Abstract Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in Earth crust and therefore quartz inclusions garnet are great interest for elastic geobarometry, an approach that exploits properties mineral pair to back-calculate conditions inclusion entrapment. However, high-temperature behavior close $$\alpha$$ α – $...

The objective of this study was to determine if supplement withdrawal (omission of dietary vitamin and trace mineral premixes and 2/3 of inorganic P) 28-d preslaughter and the feeding of wheat middlings (dietary concentrations of 5, 15, or 30% from weaning to 16 kg, 16 to 28 kg, and 28 kg to slaughter, respectively) affect bone metabolism, bone strength, bone density, and the incidence of bone ...
