BACKGROUND The current study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the methods of Moyers and of Tanaka and Johnston to estimate the mesiodistal widths of permanent canines and premolars in Syrian individuals, to determine whether the predicting equations differ by sex, and to develop more accurate regression equations using various teeth groups as predictors. METHODS A total of 670 pretreatm...

We give two examples of nonmonotonic behavior in symmetric systems, exhibiting more than one critical point at which spontaneous symmetry-breaking appears or disappears. The two systems are the hard-core model and the Widom{Rowlinson model, and both examples take place on a variation of the Cayley tree (Bethe lattice) devised by Schonmann and Tanaka. We obtain similar, though less constructive,...

in this paper, the nonlinear conjugate map based on the conjugate hasofer-lind and rackwitz- fiessler (chl-rf) method is applied to evaluate the reliability index using first order reliability method of the embedded noanocompsite beam, which is made from polymer reinforced with carbon nanotubs (cnts). the structure is simulated with timoshenko beam model. the mori-tanaka model is applied for ca...

INTRODUCTION The aims of the study were; to evaluate the applicability of the Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston Methods to individuals with a Spanish ancestry, to propose new regression equations using the lower four permanent incisors as predictors for the sum of the widths of the lower permanent canine and premolars, and to compare the new data to those from other populations. METHODS A total of 3...

As is known, lens fibers have not only various forms of protoplasmic processes at each edge but also wall spines on the surface of the lens fiber, and they interdigitate tightly with the adjacent lens fibers in fixed manners of interdigitation (FUTAGAMI, 1962; TANAKA and IINO, 1967; MATSUURA and WATANABE, 1968). Moreover, it has been suggested that each species has some similar characteristics ...

In this work, we consider the long-standing open question of constructing constant-round concurrent zero-knowledge protocols in the plain model. Resolving this question is known to require non-black-box techniques. We consider non-black-box techniques for zero-knowledge based on knowledge assumptions, a line of thinking initiated by the work of Hada and Tanaka (CRYPTO 1998). Prior to our work, ...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the reliability of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) obtained image over plaster model for the assessment of mixed dentition analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty CBCT-derived images and thirty plaster models were derived from the dental archives, and Moyer's and Tanaka-Johnston analyses were performed. The data obtained were interpr...

A continuum-based elastic micromechanics model is developed for silica nanoparticle/polyimide composites with various nanoparticle/polyimide interfacial treatments. The model incorporates the molecular structures of the nanoparticle, polyimide, and interfacial regions, which are determined using a molecular modeling method that involves coarse-grained and reversemapping techniques. The micromec...
