statement of problem: low- fusing compound (type 1) is used for border molding and impressions. flow and reproducibility of surface detail are two important characteristics of these materials. there are no valid data available comparing domestic and imported brands. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate these two properties of four different products including kerr (kerr manufactur...

Mutations in the Pak3 gene lead to nonsyndromic mental retardation characterized by selective deficits in cognition. However, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. We report here that the knock-out mice deficient in the expression of p21-activated kinase 3 (PAK3) exhibit significant abnormalities in synaptic plasticity, specifically hippocampal late-phase long-term potentiation, a...

Abstract We aim to enhance the stability of finite element models dynamic structural contact with multiphase granular soils which are described by advanced soil plasticity that can simulate monotonic and cyclic behaviour soils. Often, numerical oscillations cannot be avoided in these cause significantly overshoot stress, leading unrealistic discontinuities stress paths. This situation challenge...
