OBJECTIVES The aim of this review was to compare conventional against early/immediate loading protocols of implant-retained overdentures (IOD) in the edentulous mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medline search via Ovid to extract prospective comparative studies on trials comparing the effect of timing of loading initiation on the success of mandibular IOD. The outcome of major interest was margi...

The aim of the study was to determine optimal hydrolysis time for the Feulgen DNA staining of archival formalin fixed paraffin-embedded surgical samples, prepared as single cell suspensions for image cytometric measurements. The nuclear texture features along with the IOD (integrated optical density) of the tumor nuclei were analysed by an automated high resolution image cytometer as a function...

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Integrated optimal design and sensitivity analysis of a stand alone wind turbine system with storage for rural electrification. Keywords: Passive wind turbine Systemic optimization Integrated Optimal Design Battery cycles Total cost of ownership Sensitivit...

Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is one of the well-known immuno-osseous dysplasias (IOD), which are a combination of skeletal dysplasia and immunodeficiency. It is characterized by disproportionate short stature, fine sparse hair, ligamentous laxity, hematological abnormalities with anemia, a predisposition to malignant tumors, and recurrent infections usually due to cellular and/or humoral imm...

Internet of drones (IoD) has gained significant importance in recent times due to its applications several critical domains ranging from commercial defense and rescue operations. With flying different zones carry out specified tasks, the IoD can be beneficial gather real time data for interpretation by users. However, access is carried through an open channel battery operated drones. Therefore,...

The effects of large tropical volcanic eruptions on Indo-Pacific tropical variability are investigated using 122 historical ensemble members from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5. Radiative forcing due to volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere is found to increase the likelihood of a model climatic response that projects onto both the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean ...

In this paper; we present an intelligent on-demand multicast routing protocol (IOD-MRP) which is suited in rapidly changing network environments, such as ad hoc networks. This protocol simplifies and enhances the existing coreassisted mesh protocol (CAMP). The main difference between our protocol and CAMP is eliminating the cores from CAMP. We remove the cores from CAMP and apply an ondemand re...

The aim of this study was to confirm the existence of specific nuclear texture feature alterations of histologically normal epithelial borders nearby invasive laryngeal cancer (NC). Paraffin sections of NC and of chronic inflammations unrelated to cancer (CI) were analysed for nuclear texture and for integrated optical density (IOD-index) and were compared to normal epithelium of patients witho...

Abstract High resolution mean surface velocity field of the Arabian Sea was derived by combining sea level anomalies based on satellite altimetry data with drifter data. The current exhibits western boundary Somali Current, weak westward North Equatorial West Indian Coastal Current. Besides strong currents, mesoscale eddy activity in side. seasonal circulation changes and variability associated...
