OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of implant body form (cylindrical and conical implants) on crestal bone levels during 6 months' follow-up after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 SPI implants (19 conical implants/13 cylindrical implants) were randomly placed in 12 male patients using a submerged approach. None of the patients had compromising ...

Keratoacanthoma is a benign skin tumour caused mainly by ultraviolet A radiation. It affects 150 out of every 100 000 people worldwide. The most common location the face, neck, and hands. usually middle-aged older men with fair phenotype. More importantly, this disease may be complication cutaneous cornification. described as circumscribed conical prominent hyperkeratotic lesion in literature, ...

A wideband high-gain circularly polarized (CP) shaped dielectric horn-lens antenna (SDHLA) operating in the frequency band between 6.7 and 18.2 GHz [fractional impedance bandwidth (FIBW) of 92.4%] with a 3-dB axial-ratio range from 8.1 to 16.3 (FARBW) 67.2%], is presented. The antenna, composed suitably horn, integrated super-ellipsoidal-axicon lens made out stacked thin disks, mounted on print...

The 440-Mcps conical-scan tracker at the Millstone Hill radar site has been converted to an L-band 12-horn monopulse tracker utilizing a Cassegrain optics reflector system. The amplitude sensing monopulse feed illuminates a 10-foot subreflector and thence an 84-foot-diameter paraboloid with linear or either sense of circular polarization. This system conversion increased the capabilities of the...

A cutaneous horn is a conical, dense, hyperkeratotic protrusion that often appears similar to the horn of an animal. It is a morphologic designation referring to an unusually cohesive keratinized material, not a true pathologic diagnosis. Cutaneous horns occur in association with, or as a response to, a wide variety of underlying benign, pre-malignant, and malignant cutaneous diseases. The most...

Plant cuticles are covered by epicuticular waxes with considerable ultrastructural and chemical diversity and have great systematic significance. Pinus elderica is a rare pine found naturally only in desert environment southeast of Tbilisi (Georgia). This tree have been probably introduced to Iran about 800 years ago and gradually altered in both shape and size in Nashtifan-Khaf, and changed in...

This project utilizes integral calculus to find the exact volume of a non-uniform cylindrical-shaped silo used store wheat and calculate cost material utilized build such silo. Due its shape, is divided into two sections each calculated. The final for with measurements provided approximately 2330.02 meters cubic surface area 1074.96 squared, which considered be large capacity With there are cos...

The chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily of type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) generate the backbones of a variety of plant secondary metabolites. An active bifunctional chalcone synthase/benzalacetone synthase (CHS/BAS) from Polygonum cuspidatum was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as a C-terminally polyhistidine-tagged fusion protein, purified to homogeneity and crystallized using polyethyl...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous horns (cornu cutaneum) are uncommon lesions consisting of keratotic material resembling that of an animal horn. Cutaneous horn may arise from a wide range of the epidermal lesions, which may be benign, premalignant or malignant. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this respective study, we describe our experience of eleven patients with cutaneous horn treated at our centre between Ja...

Penile cutaneous horn is a clinical term that describes protruding hyperkeratosis, usually conical in shape, located on penile glans. Penile localization of this lesion, predominantly located on sun-exposed areas, is very rare. The association with malignancy on the penis makes proper identification of these lesions essential. We present a 45-year-old man with a cutaneous horn, 25 mm in size, l...
