Aim: Bone grafting plays a pivotal role in reconstruction of atrophic ridge in dental implants.This study made a comparison of the efficacy MARITIME PINE BARK of allogenic and autogenic (iliac) bone grafting using the same technique (interpositional bone grafting) in increasing the mandibular anterior height.Materials and Methods: Ten partially ede
A catastrophe identification method for rainfall time series coupled sequential Mann-Kendall algorithm and Bernaola Galvan algorithm: a case study of the Qinglong River watershed, China
The identification of rainfall catastrophe characteristics is important for rainfall consistency testing in hydrostatistical analysis.In this study, a new classification method (trend, mean and change-rate catastrophe) was proposed and applied to the Qinglong River watershed, Northern China.Two groups of algorithms were compared to obtain the optim
Segment-based Melody Matching for Query By Singing/Humming
Segment-based melody matching approaches are proposed to solve the problems of pitch instability, tempo inconsistency, and puff noise of singing/humming in Query By Singing/Humming system.Instead of comparing frame Mirror by frame from the beginning and trying different scaling ratio, our segment-based approaches reduce the computation complexity b
Sex differences in the epidemiology of spontaneous and traumatic cervical artery dissections
Background Recent studies show cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is equally common between sexes, and that the incidence of CeAD Childrens Tableware has risen at a greater rate in females than males.In this population-based study, we identify sex differences in patients diagnosed with spontaneous and traumatic CeAD.Methods 144 patients with spontan
