In this paper we define S algebras and show that every finite group can be found in some S algebra.  We define and study the S degree of a finite group and determine the S degree of several classes of finite groups such as cyclic groups, elementary abelian $p$-groups, and dihedral groups $D_p$.

This study investigated the relationships of processing capacity and knowledge to memory measures that varied in retrieval difficulty and reliance on verbal knowledge in an adult life-span sample (N = 341). It was hypothesized that processing ability (speed and working memory) would have the strongest relationship to tasks requiring active retrieval and that knowledge (vocabulary ability) would...

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of conditions that show abnormalities in the neuroanatomy of multiple brain regions. The variability in the development of intelligence and language among individuals on the autism spectrum has long been acknowledged, but it remains unknown whether these differences impact on the neuropathology of ASD. In this study, we aimed to compare associations b...

background. this study evaluated the effect of two prophylaxis techniques on the marginal gap of ci v resin-modified glass-ionomer restorations. methods. standard cl v cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 48 sound bovine mandibular incisors in this in vitro study. after restoration of the cavities with gc fuji ii lc resin-modified glass-ionomer, the samples were randomly assigned to...

statement of the problem: although all-ceramic restorations are broadly used, there is a lack of information concerning how their fit is affected by fabrication procedure and marginal configuration. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal fit of zirconia cad/cam ceramic crowns before and after porcelain firing. the influence of finish line configuration on the marginal f...

INTRODUCTION Base metals have a wide use in casting methods. Sometimes they are reused in laboratories which may have an adverse effect on the restoration marginal integrity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of recasting of alloys on marginal integrity of restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Models with two types of finishing lines shoulder bevel 45° and shoulder 135° were produced a...
