In this paper, a new microscopic traffic model based on forward and rearward driver response is proposed. Driver characterized using the distance time headways. Existing models such as Intelligent (ID) characterize flow constant acceleration exponent. This exponent reflects uniform behaviour during different conditions which unrealistic. slow with large headway quick short headway. Conversely, ...

One of the most efficient lighting technology is based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Common LED drivers with AC-input (50-60Hz) usually require a bulk electrolytic capacitor to decrease low-frequency ripple in the output. However, the critical element that limits the lifespan of the LED driver is the electrolytic capacitor. An isolated off-line LED driver is proposed in this paper, in which ...

Introduction: Some clinicians use a handheld screw driver instead of a torque wrench to definitively tighten abutment screws. The aim of this study was to compare the removal torque of one-piece and two-piece abutments tightened with a handheld driver and a torque control ratchet. Methods: 40 ITI implants were placed in acrylic blocks and divided into 4 groups. In groups one and two, 10 ITI one...

one of the complications during a routine dental implant placement is accidental ingestion of the implant instruments, which can happen when proper precautions are not taken. appropriate radiographs should be taken to locate the correct position of foreign body; usually the foreign body passes asymptomatically from gastrointestinal tract but sometimes it may lead to intestinal obstruction, perf...
