objective:  to assess whether non-surgical periodontal treatment is associated with changes in serological markers of systemic inflammation. materials and methods: thirty-five systemically healthy subjects with severe generalized periodontitis meeting the inclusion criteria participated in a four-month single blind interventional trial of which thirty-two completed the study. periodontal parame...

Although scaling and root planing is a cost-effective approach for initial treatment of chronic periodontitis, it fails to eliminate subgingival pathogens and halt progressive attachment loss in some patients. Adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics immediately after completion of scaling and root planing can enhance the degree of clinical attachment gain and probing depth reduction provided by ...

Interest in modular satellites has increased recently. In this paper, we present our approach for planing an OnOrbit-Servicing (OOS) task for a robotic servicer. One key challenge is the gap between the symbolic planing of action sequences and their execution in the continuous space. To bridge this gap, we propose a sampling based workspace description. It is queried by an Hierarchical Task Net...

The successful manufacturing of glulam from several important Australian commercial timbers is quite challenging due to difficulties in gluing. Improvements adhesive bond performance spotted gum, Darwin stringybark, and southern pine timber have been achieved using alternative pre-gluing surface machining methods, e.g., face milling sanding-post planing, when compared conventional planing metho...

Planing hulls, commonly used in many areas, have different hydrodynamic behavior than the displacement even calm water. Therefore, this makes calculation of maneuvering parameters these hulls appealing. In present study, a planing hull's numerical static drift analyses are performed using unsteady RANS approach to evaluate sway force and yaw moment at angles attack advance velocities. The resul...

In recent years, high-speed vessels such as passenger ships, fishing boats, and pleasure have been operated in various applications. Japan, the method of towing test, characteristics hydrodynamic forces acting on hull, kinetic during running waves studied many occasions particularly for planing semi-planing vessels. However, foreign countries, rectangular-shaped that a large flap at fore part E...
