It is shown that a practical multichannel electroglottograph can be implemented by using synchronization of the RF signal sources of the various channels to limit interchannel interference. A multichannel electroglottograph can be used to determine the extent to which a given trace is generated primarily by the degree of vocal fold contact and not by noise or artifactual voice-synchronous disto...

Several different techniques for placing calcium hydroxide into root canals have been proposed, such as amalgam carriers, vertical pluggers, McSpadden compactors, Lentulo drills, files and special syringes. Because correct filling of the root canal is necessary for calcium hydroxide paste to act effectively, the aim of this research was to study different techniques of root canal filling with c...

According to the authors, a new marking design for vertical scar breast reduction avoids the tension at nipple level that may occur with the use of a mosque-shaped marking (Lejour technique). Furthermore, better symmetry may be achieved in placement of the areola and nipple.

Described is a module for the placement of items either on the same horizontal line or on top of each other. Alignment and separation of the items can be varied in horizontal and vertical direction as required. Titles can be added and their location, style and color speci ied.

BACKGROUND This paper deals with the fabrication of a three-dimensional stent which is simple in design but provides an accurate placement of a mini-implant in three planes of space, namely, sagittal (root proximity), vertical (attached gingiva/alveolar mucosa) and transverse (angulation). FINDINGS The stent is made of 0.018×0.025 in. stainless steel archwire which consists of a 'u loop' angu...

The aim of this narrative review is to describe treatment options for the posterior regions of the mandible and the maxilla, comparing short implants vs. longer implants in an augmented bone. The dental literature was screened for treatment options enabling the placement of dental implants in posterior sites with a reduced vertical bone height in the maxilla and the mandible. Short dental impla...

The impact of different assumptions concerning the source magnitude as well as the vertical placement of lightning-produced nitrogen oxides is studied using the global chemistry transport model MATCH-MPIC. The responses of NOx, O3, OH, HNO3 and peroxyacetyl-nitrate (PAN) are investigated. A marked sensitivity to both parameters is found. NOx burdens globally can be enhanced by up to 100% depend...

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:85-9) Objectives: This study was to evaluate the effect of vertical bone gain and success rate and analyze the failure cases using the hydrodynamic piezoelectric internal sinus elevation (HPISE) technique. Materials and Methods: Patients who had been operated in the three centers including Daegu Catholic University Medical Center were selected for thi...

Because of complexity in modern printed wiring board (PWB) designs which can consist of a large number of components, the placement of the components has become an extremely time consuming task and may involve tradeoffs of equally important weight. To help a design engineer, placement automation techniques have been developed. Most of them are developed for improving wireability [Che84, Got78, ...
