The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Architecture [1] discusses a way in which Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches may be used as Label Switching Routers. The ATM switches run network layer routing algorithms (such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), etc.), and their data forwarding is based on the results of these routing algorithms...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3D) finite element models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six 3D finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were...

PURPOSE To review published articles dealing with platform switched implants in order to assess survival rates and clarify their influence both on marginal bone loss around the cervical region of the implant and on soft tissue aesthetics. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed and GallileUM databases were used to identify any studies or clinical cases involving implant platform switching published betwe...

BACKGROUND The platform switching concept involves the reduction of the restoration abutment diameter with respect to the diameter of dental implant. Long-term follow up around these wide-platforms showed higher levels of bone preservation. AIM The aim of this article is to carry out a literature review of studies which deal with the influence of platform-switched implants in hard and soft or...

Objectives of the Study The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the switching costs while adopting a new mobile platform and examine the network effects on the user switching behavior of the mobile platforms. In addition, this thesis examines whether it is more difficult to shift to a new cloud service provider or mobile platform. Windows, Android and iOS are the three platforms that are anal...

This paper proposes a new peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction scheme for short packet communications in multiple transmit antenna environments. Instead of applying individual PAPR reduction on each antenna, a joint PAPR reduction technique is proposed. By applying a relevant unitary rotation over the transmit antennas, overall PAPR of the multiple transmit antenna system is reduced. Th...

OBJECTIVES This 1-year prospective study evaluated the implant success rate and marginal bone response of non-submerged implants with platform and non-platform switching abutments in posterior healed sites. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen patients (9 male, 10 female) with posterior partially edentulous spaces, between the ages of 23 and 76 (mean = 55.4 years), were included in this study. A tot...
