BACKGROUND Many variations in the surgical technique for the placement of dental implants have been developed since the introduction of implant surgery into clinical practice. These include variations in the timing of implant placement in relation to the tooth removal, and variations in the way the recipient bone site is prepared, amongst others. OBJECTIVES To test the null hypothesis of no d...

The treatment of hydrocephalus is based on anatomical landmarks to guide the insertion an External Ventricular Drain (EVD). This procedure can benefit from adoption Mixed Reality (MR) technology. In this study, we assess feasibility a fully automatic MR and deep learning-based workflow support emergency EVD placement, for which CT images are available fast needed. proposed study provides tool a...

The placement of vegetation plays a central role in the realism virtual scenes. We introduce procedural models (PPMs) for urban layouts. PPMs are environmentally sensitive to city geometry and allow identifying plausible plant positions based on structural functional zones an layout. can either be directly used by defining their parameters or learned from satellite images land register data. Th...

The current study sought to explore the impact of SFL-oriented register instruction on Iranian EFL learner’ writing performance with a central focus on their English proficiency level. As its secondary aim, the study delved deeply into the learners’ perception of the register-based instruction. To these ends, 50 intermediate and 50 advanced Iranian EFL learners were selected randomly and assign...

Over the course of a decade in Victoria, Australia, this study considered how, for whom, under what circumstances, and with what consequences for a patient’s treatment career involuntary outpatient commitment was used to prevent psychiatric hospitalization. Records were obtained from the Victorian Psychiatric Case Register for patients with career hospitalizations, 8,879 exposed to outpatient o...

The RTL-to-GDSII tool suites are already being used in order to carry out the logical or register transfer level (RTL) design and synthesis, in tandem with floor planning, placement and routing, to expedite the process of ASIC design production. This paper proposes a novel EDA flow for SoC designs based on the block clustering and bus-partitioning techniques which starts at the design specifica...

The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to compare soft tissue aspects of immediate and delayed implant placement in esthetic areas. This review of literature was conducted in the following databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Lilacs, Scielo, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). For those studies that met the inclusion/exclusion...

recently many studies have been done on different issues of using multiple antennas at transmit and receive sides of a radar system in a mimo (multiple input multiple output) configuration. in addition, for the electronic warfare‟s purposes, the utilization of available signals of the environment to detect the targets has gained considerable attention in recent years. such passive radars use th...

many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. these ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. ant colony optim...
