Purpose: The objective of this study was radiographic assessment of the premolar teeth abutments alveolar bone resorption in mandibular Kennedy Class I removable partial denture (RPD) utilizing the broad stress distribution philosophy, either designed with multiple circlet clasp or compound Aker clasp.Materials and Methods: Twelve patients were enr
Orthotropic decks are composed of deck plate, ribs, and cross-beams and are frequently used in industry to span long distances, due to their light structures and load carrying capacities.Trapezoidal ribs are broadly preferred as longitudinal stiffeners in design of orthotropic decks.They supply the required stiffness to the Electrodes orthotropic d
The war in Ukraine triggered a big energy crisis, which particularly escalated in the winter of 2023 throughout all Europe.The crisis was a good opportunity for policymakers to encourage people to save electricity in the household.The aim of this paper is to analyse the changes in electricity saving behaviour and electricity consumption in Lithuani
Signaling networks that convert graded stimuli into binary, all-or-none cellular responses are critical in processes ranging from cell-cycle control to lineage commitment.To exhaustively enumerate topologies that exhibit this switch-like behavior, we simulated all possible two- and three-component networks on random parameter sets, and assessed the
A two-dimensional numerical fluid model was developed to study the effects of initial discharge conditions on the discharge dynamics and characteristics of atmospheric cascade glow discharge including dielectric barrier pulsed discharge and radio frequency (RF) discharge burst.In the dielectric barrier pulsed discharge, the second discharge in the
