OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To review long-term hearing results after intact canal wall mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty for treatment of cholesteatoma and to identify factors associated with improved hearing outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of all cases of cholesteatoma treated with intact canal wall mastoidectomy at a single institution by the senior author over a period of 9 years...

High-pressure air enters the air-turbine of the dental handpiece and strikes the blades to drive the impeller. The air-turbine has impeller and the air tube is connected to the air-turbine housing. The flowfield of the air-turbine were investigated for the optimum air-turbine design using ANSYS CFX. The objective of the research was to find an optimum design variables for the air-turbine to inc...

introduction: even though modern technology progresses so rapidly, annals of otology are replete with so many challenging article, which often compare various types of prosthesis. since there has not been a prospective randomized clinical trial study which compares the hearing result of total ossicular replacement prosthesis made of titanium with omega connector and polycel in the literature, w...

Introduction: Micro perforated panel (MPP) absorbents promise the next generation of sound absorbers as they have significant advantages over other porous adsorbents. In this study, we will investigate the acoustic performance of MPP absorbents made of biodegradable polylactic acid composite reinforced with natural corkwood fibers (PLA/Corkwood) by 3D printing technology. Material and Methods:...

Electrical breakdown of an axisymmetric, atmospheric pressure air gap between a wire and a plane has been investigated for a gap length of 0.5 mm. 0and 02have been identified as the negative ions affecting the discharge development in air, besides electrons and positive ions, and have been included in the electrical breakdown model. Five coupled two-dimensional transient partial differential eq...

Investigations are carried out to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine consisting of different versions such as ceramic coated cylinder head engine-LHR-1; Air gap insulated piston and air gap insulated linerLHR-2; and Ceramic coated cylinder head, air gap insulated piston and air gap insulated liner –LHR-3 with normal temperature condition of linseed oil with var...

Microstrip antennas (MAS) are very useful antenna where low profile antennas are required. They are most popular due to their small size, low cost, light weight. The first aperture coupled microstrip antenna was introduced in 1985 by D M Pozar. Aperture coupled antenna is a particular antenna with high gain and wide bandwidth. This paper presents aperture coupled stacked patch antenna using air...

Multiphase induction machine; Rectangular air–gap flux; Third harmonic injection; Eleven-phase Abstract This paper presents a modified V/f control strategy using neural network with an improved flux pattern using third harmonic injection for multiphase induction machines. The control objective is to generate a nearly rectangular air–gap flux, resulting in an improved machine power density for t...
