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...

background and aim: an important criterion for success assessment of implant-supported prostheses is marginal fit. vertical and horizontal discrepancy can result in loosening of the prosthetic screw, crestal bone resorption, peri-implantitis and loss of osseointegration. despite careful attention to waxing, investing, and casting, marginal discrepancies are inevitable. the aim of this study was...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats promised Thursday to speed an economic recovery package through Congress, but vowed to rearrange President Bush’s budget proposal to ben­ efit m iddle-income Americans, not the rich. “ Democrats w ill not obstruct, but we w ill try to improve the p re s id e n t’s p acka ge ,” sa id House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., as the Budget Committee began hearings...

We adopted a person–organization (P–O) fit framework to examine applicant attraction to an organization in the context of Web-based recruitment. A total of 121 undergraduate business students participated in a two-stage study first by completing a paper-and-pencil survey and second, by visiting a fictitious recruitment Web site in which the researchers manipulated the fit feedback information p...

1 Anscombe’s term for such knowledge in Intention is “practical knowledge”. However, I have avoided that term as I wish to defend the idea that agents have a distinctive non-observational knowledge of their actions without being committed to her claims about the existence of a kind of knowledge with a reverse direction of fit from ordinary knowledge. 2 The idea originates in English speaking ph...

The KM3NeT collaboration is constructing two large neutrino detectors in the Mediterranean Sea: ARCA, located near Sicily and aiming at astronomy, ORCA, Toulon designed for oscillation studies. detectors, together, will have hundreds of Detection Units (DUs) with 18 Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) maintained vertical by buoyancy, forming a 3D optical array detecting Cherenkov light produced afte...

It has recently been widely argued that all consciousness is perceptual, including the conscious experience of action. This paper argues that there can be a conscious component of the experience of action that is not perceptual. The argument is based on Searle’s concept of “direction of fit” and the conditions of satisfaction of an intention. The conditions of satisfaction of an intention diffe...
