Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the stress distribution in tooth supported 5-unit fixed partial denture (FPD) having tooth as pier abutment using rigid and nonrigid connectors respectively, under simultaneous and progressive loading. Material and Methods: The three-dimensional (3D) finite element program (ANSYS software) was used to construct the mathematical model. Two 5-unit FPD'S were simulated, one with rigid connector and another one with nonrigid connector. For analysis, each of these models were subjected to axial and oblique forces under progressive loading (180, 180, 120, 120, 80 N force on first and second molars, premolars and canine respectively) and simultaneous loading (100, 100, 100, 100, 100 N force on first and second molars, premolars and canine respectively). Results: The rigid and nonrigid connector design have effect on stress distribution in 5-unit FPDs with pier abutments. Conclusion: Oblique forces produce more stresses than vertical forces. Nonrigid connector resulted in decrease in stress at the level of prosthesis and increase in stress at the level of alveolar crest.

Abstract:

The conceptual design model for mechanical product and its computer aided design are the important and focus problems. A mechanical product design process of FPBS model, function-principle-behavior-structure model, was put forward and discussed. The semantic relationships between the elements of FPBS model were studied to make foundation for the application of FPBS model. The operational demand of knowledge system for FPBS model was analyzed, and indicates the ontology can be applied effectively to knowledge system operation of FPBS model. Then, an ontology based FPBS model was established and a FPBS ontology model system was constructed. The experimental results indicate the model can be used in computer aided conceptual design for mechanical product effectively.

Abstract:

The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs). The fractional derivatives are described by Caputo's sense. Series solutions of the fPDEs are obtained. A convergence theorem for the series solution is also given. The test examples, which include a variable coefficient, inhomogeneous and hyperbolic-type equations, demonstrate the capability of HAM for nonlinear fPDEs.

Abstract:

The goals of this research are: (1) to compare the survival and prosthetic success of metal-ceramic 3-unit tooth- versus implant-supported fixed dental prostheses; (2) to evaluate the influence of several risk factors on the prosthetic success of tooth- and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FPDs). A total of 68 patients with posterior short edentulous spaces (mean age 61.00 ± 1.325 years), were divided into two groups: 3-unit tooth-supported FPDs (40 patients; 52 FPD; mean follow-up 10.27 ± 0.496 years) and 3-unit implant-supported FPDs (28 patients; 32 FPD; mean follow-up 8.656 ± 0.718 years). Pearson-chi tests were used to highlight the risk factors for the prosthetic success of tooth- and implant-supported FPDs and multivariate analysis was used to determine significant risk predictors for the prosthetic success of the tooth-supported FPDs. The survival rates of 3-unit tooth- versus implant-supported FPDs were 100% and 87.5%, respectively, while the prosthetic success was 69.25% and 68.75%, respectively. The prosthetic success of tooth-supported FPDs was significantly higher for patients older than 60 years (83.3%) vs. 40–60 years old (57.1%) (p = 0.041). Periodontal disease history decreased the prosthetic success of tooth- versus implant-supported FPDs when compared with the absence of periodontal history (45.5% vs. 86.7%, p = 0.001; 33.3% vs. 90%, p = 0.002). The prosthetic success of 3-unit tooth- vs. implant-supported FPDs was not significantly influenced by gender, location, smoking, or oral hygiene in our study. In conclusion, similar rates of prosthetic success were recorded for both types of FPDs. In our study, prosthetic success of tooth- versus implant-supported FPDs was not significantly influenced by gender, location, smoking, or oral hygiene; however, history of periodontal disease is a significant negative predictor of success in both groups when compared with patients without periodontal history.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance (retention rate) of fiber-reinforced composite fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Polyethylene fiber (Ribbond®) was used combined with restorative composite during FPDs fabrication. FPDs were placed in thirteen patients in a private clinic. Nineteen FPDs were evaluated. The prosthetic space was filled with only one pontic using extracted teeth (2 cases), acrylic resin teeth (11 cases), or with composite resin (6 cases), combined with Polyethylene fiber. The clinical criterion used was based on retention rate of FPDs. If FPDs were in function in the mouth at the time of examination without previous repair they were classified as Complete Survival (CS) restorations. A classification of Survival with Rebonding (SR) was assigned in the event of an adhesive failure, but after rebonding the FPD still remained under evaluation. Treatment was classified as a Failure (F) if the FPD restoration was lost. The time of evaluation was 41.15 months (±15.13). The FPDs evaluated were retained (CS=94.75%), and no failure was found except for in one situation which required rebonding (SR=5.25%). According to the survival estimation method of Kaplan-Meyer the mean survival time was 42.3 months. At the time of evaluation investigated, polyethylene-reinforced FPDs showed a favorable retention rate in preliminary data.

Full text

Abstract:

Because electronics are becoming flexible, the demand for techniques to manufacture thin flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) has increased. Conventional FPCBs are fabricated by attaching a coverlay film (41 μm) onto copper patterns/polyimide (PI) film to produce the structure of coverlay/Cu patterns/PI film. Given that the conventional coverlay consists of two layers of polyimide film and adhesive, its thickness must be reduced to generate thinner FPCBs. In this study, we fabricated 25-μm-thick poly(amide-imide-urethane)/epoxy interpenetrating networks (IPNs) to replace the thick conventional coverlay. Poly(amide-imide-urethane) (PAIU) was synthesized by reacting isocyanate-capped polyurethane with trimellitic anhydride and then mixed with epoxy resin to produce PAIU/epoxy IPNs after curing. Thanks to the soft segments of polyurethane, the elongation of PAIU/epoxy IPNs increased with increasing PAIU content and reached over 200%. After confirming the excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance of the PAIU/epoxy IPNs, we fabricated FPCBs by equipping them as coverlays. The mechanical durability of the FPCBs was evaluated through an MIT folding test, and the FPCB fabricated with PAIU/ep-2 was stable up to 164 folding cycles because of the balanced mechanical properties.

Abstract:

A finite element method (FEM) for multiterm fractional partial differential equations (MT-FPDEs) is studied for obtaining a numerical solution effectively. The weak formulation for MT-FPDEs and the existence and uniqueness of the weak solutions are obtained by the well-known Lax-Milgram theorem. The Diethelm fractional backward difference method (DFBDM), based on quadrature for the time discretization, and FEM for the spatial discretization have been applied to MT-FPDEs. The stability and convergence for numerical methods are discussed. The numerical examples are given to match well with the main conclusions.

Abstract:

Objective. The introduction of CAD/CAM and the development of zirconia-based restorations have allowed clinicians to use less expensive materials and faster manufacturing procedures. The purpose of the study was to analyze the differences, in terms of mechanical and biological complication, in multiunit zirconia fixed dental prosthesis (FPDs) on posterior implants produced using a digital workflow. Method and Materials. This study was a retrospective investigation, and patients treated with screw-retained monolithic or partial veneer FPDs on dental implants were selected. Periapical radiographs were taken at baseline and at the 3-year follow-up. Complications were recorded and classified as technical and biological ones. Results. The study population included 25 patients. The occlusal and interproximal corrections were not clinically significant. In the study sample, the survival rate and success rate of the FPDs after 3 years were 100% and 96%, respectively. One implant failed immediately after placement. Conclusion. Monolithic zirconia FPDs and partial veneer FPDs showed a 100% survival rate, presenting an interesting alternative to metal ceramic restorations. The partial veneer FPDs had a higher technical complication rate than the monolithic FPDs; however, no statistically significant difference was found.

This work is related to reliability of strain measurement in flexible printed circuit boards (fPCBs) made with polyimide substrate. It was observed that the fPCBs are very sensitive to strain mounting stiffness. The indirect measurement method will be done employing High Speed Camera (HSP). The direct method will be formulated in two ways: 1) conventional strain gauge glued in an fPCBs; 2) printed strain gauge in a polyimide substrate. This paper will point out mistakes and show advantages when using different method to extract the deformation field of the selected area in a flexible thin film.

Abstract:

For pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants, in order to prevent the release of radioactive substances into environment, fission product barriers (FPBs) are constructed based on the concept of defense-in-depth, including fuel clad, reactor coolant system (RCS), and containment; the status of these FPBs is then acting as an important dimension to decision-making of emergency action levels (EALs). For CPR1000 nuclear power plants, state functions defined in state-oriented emergency operating procedure (SOP) are used to characterize postaccident physical conditions; their degradation substantially represents the challenges on fundamental safety functions and then on the integrity of FPBs in like manner, so degradation of these state functions is referred to as determining initial conditions of each FPB, by which the link between SOP and EALs is established. Then, an intelligent FPB monitoring system (FPBMS) aiming to automatically monitor states of FPBs is developed, verified, and validated. The pioneering work, by building bridges between state functions and initial conditions of FPBs and then computerizing them innovatively, proves that dynamical monitoring of states of FPBs during accident evolvement and real-time indication of loss or potential loss of FPBs can be achieved, which is most helpful in decision-making of EALs.

Abstract:

Fascial plane blocks (FPBs) are increasingly numerous and are often touted as effective solutions to many perioperative challenges facing anesthesiologists. As ‘new’ FPBs are being described, questions regarding their effectiveness remain unanswered as appropriate studies are lacking and publications are often limited to case discussions or technical reports. It is often unclear if newly named FPBs truly represent a novel intervention with new indications, or if these new publications describe mere ultrasound facilitated modifications of existing techniques. Here, we present broad concepts and potential mechanisms of FPB. In addition, we discuss major FPBs of (1) the extremities (2) the posterior torso and (3) the anterior torso. The characteristics, indications and a brief summary of the literature on these blocks is included. Finally, we provide an estimate of the overall level of evidence currently supporting individual approaches as FPBs continue to rapidly evolve.

Abstract:

A table lookup method for solving nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs) is proposed in this paper. Looking up the corresponding tables, we can quickly obtain the exact analytical solutions of fPDEs by using this method. To illustrate the validity of the method, we apply it to construct the exact analytical solutions of four nonlinear fPDEs, namely, the time fractional simplified MCH equation, the space-time fractional combined KdV-mKdV equation, the (2+1)-dimensional time fractional Zoomeron equation, and the space-time fractional ZKBBM equation. As a result, many new types of exact analytical solutions are obtained including triangular periodic solution, hyperbolic function solution, singular solution, multiple solitary wave solution, and Jacobi elliptic function solution.

Abstract:

Recently, because of the new developments in sustainable engineering and renewable energy, which are usually governed by a series of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs), the numerical modeling and simulation for fractional calculus are attracting more and more attention from researchers. The current dominant numerical method for modeling FPDE is finite difference method (FDM), which is based on a pre-defined grid leading to inherited issues or shortcomings including difficulty in simulation of problems with the complex problem domain and in using irregularly distributed nodes. Because of its distinguished advantages, the meshless method has good potential in simulation of FPDEs. This paper aims to develop an implicit meshless collocation technique for FPDE. The discrete system of FPDEs is obtained by using the meshless shape functions and the meshless collocation formulation. The stability and convergence of this meshless approach are investigated theoretically and numerically. The numerical examples with regular and irregular nodal distributions are used to validate and investigate accuracy and efficiency of the newly developed meshless formulation. It is concluded that the present meshless formulation is very effective for the modeling and simulation of FPDEs.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjectives: Computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) allows the milling of high strength zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPD), however bonding to an inert ZrO2 ceramic surface may effect the marginal integrity of the FPDs. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of zirconia FPDs at the interfaces between zirconia, cement, and tooth.Methods: Methods: 32 3-unit FPDs were fabricated of the CAD/CAM Y-TZP zirconia (Lava, 3M Espe, Germany) according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Resin cements with corresponding primer and bonding systems were used to lute the FPDs: Compolute/EBS multi (3M Espe, Germany), Panavia F/ED (Kuraray, Japan), Variolink 2/Syntac classic (Ivoclar-Vivadent, FL) and RelyX Unicem/without treatment (3M Espe, Germany). Au-alloy FPDs (BioPontostar, Bego, Germany) were cemented with RelyX Unicem and Harvard (Harvard, Germany) as the control. Marginal adaptation was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy using replica specimen before and after artificial aging. After aging, microleakage tests were performed with fuchsine solution. The interfaces between cement-tooth and cement-FPD were examined.Results: At the interfaces (cement-tooth and cement-FPD), the systems showed a 95% or higher perfect margin before and after aging. Only Variolink2/Syntac had a marginal adaptation, lower than a 70% perfect margin. Generally, the fuchsine penetration was below 20%, only BioPontstar/Harvard and Lava/Variolink2 showed penetration results between 80% and 100%.Conclusion: The success of the adhesive cementation of zirconia FPDs depends on the cement system. Under the conditions of this study, zirconia FPDs showed good to sufficient marginal integrity in combination with Panavia/ED, Compolute/EBS and RelyX Unicem. (Eur J Dent 2007;1:25-30)

Abstract:

A novelty configuration of tall building structure, so-called mega-sub controlled structure (MSCS) with friction pendulum bearings (FPBs), which is featured by the FPBs at the bottom of sub-structures, is studied. The seismic responses of the MSCS with FPBs are carried out. The effects of the radius of the sliding surface and friction coefficient on structural dynamic characteristic indices, i.e. energy, acceleration, story displacement, story shear force, are analyzed. A performance comparison is made with the conventional MSCS. The results show that the MSCS with FPBs exhibits a better vibration-control effect than conventional MSCS. The controlling effectiveness of structure with radius of 500mm and 1500mm is better than that with radius of 1000mm and 2000mm. As the friction coefficient increase, the dynamic behaviors of structure tend to increase.

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose Physician diversity is limited in ophthalmology and oculofacial plastic surgery. Determination of barriers within the application process for oculofacial plastic surgery may help target efforts to improve the recruitment of underrepresented groups. This study aimed to illuminate perceived barriers to increasing diversity in oculofacial plastic surgery trainees, according to the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) fellows and fellowship program directors (FPDs). Methods During the month of February 2021, we sent surveys out to 54 current oculofacial plastic surgery fellows and 56 FPDs at 56 oculofacial plastic surgery programs recognized by the ASOPRS nationwide using a 15-question Qualtrics survey. Results Sixty-three individuals (57%) responded to the survey: 34 fellows (63%) and 29 FPDs (52%). Eighty-eight percent of fellows and 68% of FPDs identified as non-underrepresented in medicine (UiM). Forty-four percent of fellows and 25% of FPDs identified as men. FPDs most commonly noted, “Not enough minorities applying to our program” and “The objective data (Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program score, United States Medical Licensing Examination Step scores, clinical honors, Alpha Omega Alpha status, letter of recommendation) for minority applicants often do not meet the threshold required to offer an interview or to be ranked to match” as barriers. Among fellows, the lowest-rated considerations when applying to oculofacial plastic surgery were “Racially/ethnically diverse faculty” and “Perceptions of minority candidates by fellowship programs,” whereas “Likelihood of matching in program of choice” was ranked highest in considerations. Fellows identifying as men indicated greater concern for “Financial factors related to fellowship (e.g., loans, salary, cost of living, or cost of interviewing)” compared to fellows identifying as women who noted greater concern for “Program or preceptor acceptance of starting or having a family during fellowship.” Conclusion Responses from FPDs suggest that efforts focused on recruiting and supporting diverse students to medicine and ophthalmology, mentoring applicants interested in oculofacial plastic surgery, and restructuring the application process to decrease bias, may improve diversity within the subspecialty. The lack of UiM representation in this study, 6% fellows and 7.4% FPDs identified as UiM, shows both the stark underrepresentation and the need for further research into this topic.

Looking at the results obtained, it is understood that the generalized Kudryashov method can yield important results in obtaining the exact solutions of FPDEs containing beta-derivatives.

The new technique with DARA-ST is efficient and accurate in examining exact solutions of FPDEs. In order to show the applicability of the presented method, some numerical examples and figures are illustrated. A symmetry analysis is used to verify the results.

Abstract:

The analysis of Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) for the solution of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) is presented. A unified convergence theorem is given. In order to validate the theory, the solution of fractional-order Burger-Poisson (FBP) equation is obtained. Furthermore, this work presents the method to find the solution of FPDEs, while the same partial differential equation (PDE) with ordinary derivative i.e., for α = 1 , is not defined in the given domain. Moreover, HPM is applied to a complicated obstacle boundary value problem (BVP) of fractional order.

Abstract:

Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is an established gold standard for postoperative pain control especially following laparotomy and thoracotomy. The safety and efficacy of TEA is well known when the attention to patient selection is upheld. Recently, the use of fascial plane blocks (FPBs) has evolved as an alternative to TEA most likely because these blocks avoid problems such as neurological comorbidity, coagulation disorders, epidural catheter failure and hypotension due to sympathetic denervation. However, if an FPB is performed, postoperative monitoring and adjuvant treatments are still necessary. Also, the true efficacy of FPBs is questioned. Thus, should we prioritize less efficient analgesic regimens with FPBs when preventive treatment strategies for epidural catheter failure and hypotension exist for TEA? It is time to promote and underscore the benefits of TEA provided to patients undergoing major open surgical procedures. In our mind, FPBs and landmark-guided techniques should be limited to less extensive surgery and when either neuraxial blockade is contraindicated or resources for optimal epidural catheter placement and maintenance are not available.

Abstract:

AbstractA series of compact filtering power dividers (FPDs) with simple layouts are proposed based on coupling topology. The structure of the presented FPD1 is composed of three resonators and one isolating resistor. These FPDs can be designed based on coupling matrix filter theory. A half-wave transmission line is employed in FPD2 to introduce a transmission zero (TZ) locating at 1.27f0. The FPD3 is designed by replacing quarter-wave transmission lines in FPD2 with quarter-wave coupled lines, which will produce a TZ locating at 1.96 f0 and extend upper stopband bandwidth. For verification, three FPDs centered at 2.45 GHz are fabricated and measured. All measured results are in good agreement with the full-wave simulation results.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Objectives: To evaluate the clinical behavior of one-piece complete-coverage crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs) on teeth with vertical preparation without finish line biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT). Methods and Materials: This prospective study included 52 patients requiring treatment with restorations in the esthetic region: 74 crowns and 27 FPDs. The sample included a total of 149 teeth that were prepared vertically without finish line. The sample was divided into two groups: one-piece crowns and FPDs, all with zirconia cores, feldspathic ceramic veneer, and a 0.5-mm prosthetic finish line of zirconia. All procedures were carried out at the University of Valencia from 2013 to 2014. The following parameters were evaluated over a two-year follow-up: oral hygiene, periodontal state, gingival thickening, gingival margin stability, the presence of complications, and restoration survival rate. Patient satisfaction with treatment was assessed by means of a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: Two years after treatment, 80.5% of treated teeth remained free of gingival inflammation and bleeding. Mean gingival thickening was 0.41 ± 0.28 mm for one-piece crowns and 0.38 ± 0.36 mm for FPDs. Gingival margin stability was 100%, but 2% of the sample presented biological complications. The VAS patient satisfaction scores were eight out of a maximum score of 10. Conclusions: Two years after treatment, vertical preparation without finish line produces gingival thickening, margin stability, and optimal esthetics. Neither crowns nor FPDs presented any mechanical complications.

Abstract:

Abstract In this article, the solutions of higher nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) with the Caputo operator are presented. The fractional PDEs are modern tools to model various phenomena more accurately. The residual power series method (RPSM) is used for the solution analysis of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs), which has direct implementation for the solutions of fractional partial differential equations. In this work, the solutions to a few nonlinear FPDEs are handled by the proposed technique. The general and particular schemes of RPSM are constructed and implemented successfully. The fractional solutions of PDEs have provided many useful dynamics of the targeted problems. The RPSM results for both integer and fractional-order FPDEs are further explained and elaborated by using graphs and tables. It is observed that the higher accuracy of RPSM is achieved with fewer calculations. Graphs and tables for fractional-order solutions are presented, which confirm the convergence phenomena of fractional solutions toward integer order solutions of each problem. The suggested method can be extended to the solutions of other nonlinear fractional partial differential equations.

Abstract:

This paper presents the manufacturing procedure and electrical properties of a microstrip line on flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) fabricated using the micro pattern transfer printing (MPTP) method for millimeter wave band application. The MPTP method presented herein is compared to the conventional FPCB process based on the degree of insertion loss as it pertains to the cross-sectional shape of the formed microstrip line. Electromagnetic field simulations were performed to confirm that the cross-sectional arch shape fabricated by the MPTP process reduces insertion loss in the high-frequency band. Based on the simulation, the microstrip transmission line was optimized to a width of 217 µm and a length of 30 cm, fabricated on a 50 µm thick poly-cyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate (PCT) substrate to measure the insertion loss. The insertion loss fabricated using the MPTP method is measured as 0.37 dB/cm at 10 GHz, while the conventional FPCB is measured as 0.66 dB/cm. Through the analysis, it was confirmed that the FPCBs manufactured by the MPTP process show lower insertion loss compared to the conventional FPCBs.

Abstract:

Abstract As the demand grows for high-density electronic components and highly integrated printed circuit boards, femtosecond laser micromachining provides unique opportunities for creating fine conductive tracks and patterns on flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) without the use of a mask. Here, the effects of femtosecond laser power and pulse frequency on micromachining depth, surface roughness and copper content of the machined zone were investigated, and optimum laser parameters, i.e., laser power 280 mW and pulse repetition frequency 39.5 kHz, were achieved with the help of a 3D optical profilometer and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). On this basis, a single conductive track with varying widths and two parallel conductive tracks with different widths/spacings were micromachined on FPCBs without noticeable substrate damage. The results indicate that a single conductive line with a feature width as small as 25 µm can be achieved, and two parallel copper tracks can be created with no evidence of the presence of copper residues between the tracks when the pre-defined spacing is no less than 45 µm . In order to achieve high micromachining accuracy, look-up tables that correlate measured widths/spacing of conductive tracks with the pre-defined ones were built.besides, machining conductive tracks with 135 degree corner is possible and by selecting optimized processing parameters. Finally, a driving circuit for a display panel was micromachined on FPCBs using femtosecond laser, and an average micromachining accuracy of 0.67 μm was achieved. This work will be quite useful for creating high density and precision patterns on FPCBs using femtosecond laser.

Abstract:

A numerical method is presented to obtain the approximate solutions of the fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs). The basic idea of this method is to achieve the approximate solutions in a generalized expansion form of two-dimensional fractional-order Legendre functions (2D-FLFs). The operational matrices of integration and derivative for 2D-FLFs are first derived. Then, by these matrices, a system of algebraic equations is obtained from FPDEs. Hence, by solving this system, the unknown 2D-FLFs coefficients can be computed. Three examples are discussed to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Metal-ceramics restorations were considered a preferable option for fabrication fixed partial dentures (FPDs) that have an acceptable durability, but they are not able to provide the same beauty as the entire ceramic material. Full-contour zirconia, such as Zolid, does not have problems with chipping of layered zirconia, along with translucency and staining capabilities. AIM: This study aimed to assess the fatigue fracture strength of three-unit implant-supported full-contour zirconia and metal-ceramics posterior FPDs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this in vitro study, 24 posterior three-unit implant-supported FPDs were fabricated of full-contour zirconia and metal-ceramics and were cemented on implant abutments. To simulate the oral environment, FPDs were subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles between 5 and 55°C for 30 s and were then transferred to a chewing simulator (100,000 cycles, 50 N, 0.5 Hz). Afterward, fatigue fracture strength was measured using a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test. RESULTS: The obtained results showed that the mean and standard deviation of fatigue fracture strength was higher for the metal-ceramics group (2567.8 ± 689.7 N) compared to those for the full-coverage zirconia group (2108.6 ± 455.2 N). However, the difference was not statistically significant (p ˃ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Fracture resistance due to fatigue in the metal-ceramics group was not significantly different from full-coverage zirconia group. Full-coverage zirconia seems promising as a metal-ceramics material for the fabrication of posterior three-unit FPDs.

Abstract:

Background: Modern zirconia blanks for the fabrication of dental CAD/CAM restorations provide a layer structure with color and strength transitions. Variation in the yttria content has a particular effect on the characteristics of the materials. The properties of dental restorations may vary depending on the milling position within the blank. Especially for wide-span fixed partial dentures (FPDs), relevant effects on clinical performance might result. This study investigated if the application of high-translucent zirconia and positioning within multilayer zirconia blanks affect the in vitro performance of 4-unit FPDs. Methods: 4-unit FPDs were fabricated from monolayer 3Y-TZP-A, 3Y-TZP, 4Y-TZP, 5Y-TZP, 4Y/5Y-TZP, and different positions within multilayer zirconia blanks (3Y-TZP/5Y-TZP). The FPDs were adhesively luted to resin abutment teeth, divided into groups (n = 8 each): “baseline” (24 h water-storage)/“TCML” (chewing simulation by means of thermalcycling and mechanical loading), and loaded to fracture. The statistics included mean and standard deviation, one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni post hoc test, and Pearson correlation (α = 0.05). Results: The mean fracture force values varied between 803.8 ± 171.7 N (5Y) and 1474.1 ± 193.0 N (3Y) (baseline) and 713.5 ± 190.9 N (5Y) and 1337.4 ± 205.6 N (3Y) (TCML). Significantly different (p = 0.000) results between the groups and individual significant differences (p ≤ 0.039) were found. Conclusions: Positioning within multilayer blanks affected the fracture force only slightly. Multilayer, 3Y-TZP-A, 3Y-TZP, and 4Y-TZP seem appropriate for the clinical application with 4-unit molar FPDs. Application of 5Y-TZP is critical.

Abstract:

This paper presents the mechanical behaviors of different types of polyimide feedthroughs that are frequently used for implantable polymer encapsulation. Implantable packages of electronic devices often comprise circuits mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs) encapsulated in a biocompatible polymer material, with input/output feedthroughs for electrical interconnections. The feedthroughs are regarded as essential elements of the reliability of the package since they create inevitable interfaces with the encapsulation materials. Flexible materials are frequently used for feedthroughs owing to their ease of manufacturing; thus, their mechanical properties are crucial as they directly interact with parts of the human body, such as the brain and neurons. For this purpose, tensile tests were performed to characterize the mechanical properties of flexible PCBs (FPCBs) and photosensitive polyimides (PSPIs). Commercial FPCBs and homemade PSPIs of two different thicknesses were subjected to tensile tests for mechanical characterization. The FPCBs showed typical stress–strain curves, while the PSPIs showed brittleness or strain hardening depending on the thickness. The material properties extracted from the tensile tests were used for explicit modeling using the finite element method (FEM) and simulations to assess mechanical behaviors, such as necking and strain hardening.

In this paper, we consider a time-fractional coupled KdV equations describing the interaction of equatorial and midlatitude Rossby waves. From the application of Lie group analysis, the governing system of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) is reduced to a system of fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs). Further, we construct the group-invariant solution as well as the power series solution for the given coupled equations. Next, the evolutionary behavior of the waves under the influence of the fractional order derivative [Formula: see text] is studied graphically through the group-invariant solution. Finally, the conservation laws for the given system of FPDEs are obtained.

This paper focuses on the application of backstepping control scheme for fractional order partial differential equations (FPDEs) of order with . Therefore to obtain highly accurate approximations for this derivative is of great importance. Here the discretised approach for the space variable is used to transform the FPDEs into a system of differential equations. These approximations arise mainly from the Caputo definition and the Grünwald-Letnikov definition. A Lyapunov function is defined at each stage and the negativity of an overall Lyapunov function is ensured by proper selection of the control law. Illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

The aim of this work is to represent the solutions of one-dimensional fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) of order (α∈ℝ+\ℕ) in both quasi-probabilistic and probabilistic ways. The canonical processes used are generalizations of stable Lévy processes. The fundamental solutions of the fractional equations are given as functionals of stable subordinators. The functions used generalize the functions given by the Airy integral of Sirovich (1971). As a consequence of this representation, an explicit form is given to the density of the 3/2-stable law and to the density of escaping island vicinity in vortex medium. Other connected FPDEs are also considered.

Abstract:

With the popularity of mobile devices, using the traditional client-server model to handle a large number of requests is very challenging. Wireless data broadcasting can be used to provide services to many users at the same time, so reducing the average access time has become a popular research topic. For example, some location-based services (LBS) consider using multiple channels to disseminate information to reduce access time. However, data conflicts may occur when multiple channels are used, where multiple data items associated with the request are broadcasted at about the same time. In this article, we consider the channel switching time and identify the data conflict issue in an on-demand multichannel dissemination system. We model the considered problem as a data broadcast with conflict avoidance (DBCA) problem and prove it is NP-complete. We hence propose the frequent-pattern-based broadcast scheduling (FPBS), which provides a new variant of the frequent pattern tree, FP ∗ -tree, to schedule the requested data. Using FPBS, the system can avoid data conflicts when assigning data items to time slots in the channels. In the simulation, we discussed two modes of FPBS: online and offline. The results show that, compared with the existing heuristic methods, FPBS can shorten the average access time by 30%.

Abstract:

Owing to quite different features and hysteretic behavior of friction pendulum bearings (FPBs) and sloped rolling-type bearings (SRBs), their control performances might not be readily compared without some rules. In this study, first, on the premise of retaining the same horizontal acceleration control performance, the effects arising from different sloping angles and damping forces on the horizontal maximum and residual displacement responses of SRBs are numerically examined. For objective comparison of passive control performances of FPBs and SRBs, then, some criteria are considered to design FPBs with the same horizontal acceleration control performance by referring to the designed damping force and the maximum horizontal displacement response of SRBs under a given seismic demand. Based on the considered criteria, the passive control performances of FPBs and SRBs under a large number of far-field and pulse-like near-fault ground motions are quantitatively compared. The numerical comparison results indicate that the FPB models might potentially have better horizontal acceleration and isolation displacement control performances than the SRB models regardless of whether they are subjected to far-field or near-fault ground motions, while the opposite tendency is observed for their self-centering performances, especially when the SRB model designed with a larger sloping angle or a smaller damping force.

A new method proposed and coined by the authors as the homo-separation of variables method is utilized to solve systems of linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs).

When compared to existing analytical and numerical methods, the method resulting from our approach shows that it is capable of simplifying the target problem at hand and reducing the computational load that is required to solve it, considerably. The efficiency and usefulness of this new general-purpose method is verified by several examples, where different systems of linear and nonlinear FPDEs are solved.

Abstract:

Fracture of dental all-ceramic restoration is often observed in clinic. And the fracture mechanisms and processes of three-unit all-ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPDs) are still not clear. In this paper, the fracture mechanism and process of a three unit zirconia ceramic FPDs framework under simulated mechanical loading are calculated by using a self-developed numerical modeling code, the RFPA2D code. Acoustic emission showed that the fracture mechanism was tensile failure and the crack started at the lower boundary of the framework. The result revealed that the framework fracture pattern obtained by using the numerical simulation agreed with that observed in a previous laboratory test. The fracture process could be followed both in step-by-step and step-in-step. The RFPA2D code is suitable for the use as a complement to other tests and clinical observations in studying stress distribution, fracture mechanism and fracture process in ceramic FPDs framework.

Abstract:

A numerical method for solving fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs) of the diffusion and reaction–diffusion type, subject to Dirichlet boundary data, in three dimensions is developed. Such fPDEs may describe fluid flows through porous media better than classical diffusion equations. This is a new, fractional version of the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method, where the source term is balanced, in that its effect is split in the three space directions, and it may be relevant, especially in the case of anisotropy. The method is unconditionally stable, second-order in space, and third-order in time. A strategy is devised in order to improve its speed of convergence by means of an extrapolation method that is coupled to the PageRank algorithm. Some numerical examples are given.

Abstract:

Flat-panel displays (FPDs) will soon become ubiquitous products in our homes, workplaces, and a number of places in between. Familiar display applications pioneered by the venerable cathode-ray tube (CRT) will progressively utilize a number of different FPDs. Flat-panel displays will also initiate and pioneer new applications, as was the case with notebook computers and personal digital assistants.The future proliferation of FPDs can no longer be doubted for two simple reasons. First, such devices help us cope with this already information-saturated society. Second, the technological momentum and financial commitment needed for FPDs to take hold are already irreversibly set in place. It is the insatiable current and near-future demand that are pulling the field, and that are fueling a flurry of research and development activities. The display market has grown in size from tens of millions of dollars only a decade ago to a nearly ten-billion-dollar industry. This market growth is expected to continue at a brisk pace during the next decade.This of course is in no way bad news for materials scientists and engineers. We nearly always benefit from development of new and complex products. It is in regard to these rather incipient but advanced manufacturing technologies where we often encounter challenging, relevant, and interesting materials problems. The better we address these obstacles during these early and therefore critical times, the more successful the FPD technology will be in fulfilling the potential opportunities that lie ahead.

Abstract:

The aim was to investigate the marginal fit, internal adaptation and compressive strength of SLA provisionals (SLA) in comparison to CAD-CAM and conventional (CONV) interim fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Thirty interim FPDs were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology (CAD-CAM blocks Ceramill TEMP, PMMA), conventional molding technique (CONV) (TrimPlus, PMMA) and Stereolithography (SLA) method (Form 2, Formlabs, PMMA) (n = 10). Internal adaptation (occlusal, coronal, middle and cervical) and marginal integrity (inner and outer edge) was assessed using micro-computerized tomography (Micro-CT). The failure and compressive strength was assessed by application of a static load at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until fracture. Data was analysed using ANOVA and multiple comparisons test. The maximum and minimum marginal mis-fit was for CONV (283.3± 98.6 nm) and CAD-CAM (68.2± 18.1 m) groups. CAD-CAM (68.2± 18.1 m) and SLA (84.7± 27.5 m) provisionals showed comparable marginal mis-fit (p > 0.05). The mean failure load was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in CAD-CAM (687.86± 46.72 N), compared to SLA (534.8± 46.1 N) and CONV (492.7± 61.8 N) samples. Compressive strength for CAD-CAM (2.44± 0.27 MPa) samples was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than SLA (1.80± 0.15 MPa) and CONV (1.65± 0.20 MPa) groups. Marginal fit and internal adaptation of SLA printed FPDs was comparable to CAD-CAM interims. Compressive strength of the SLA interims FPDs can withstand intra-oral loads.

Abstract:

This research was intended to analyze the effect of mind mapping towards students writing skill at the second semester students of FPBS IKIP Mataram in academic year 2015/2016. This study was quasi experimental research, where the sample was cluster randomly selected with the total number of sample was 65 students which were divided into 2 classes; 29 students were in the control group and there were 36 students belong to experimental group. In order to collect the research data, the writer used writing test to comprehend the students’ ability in managing text based on mind mapping concept. After the data was obtained, then it was analyzed by applying descriptive statistical analysis and inferential analysis. Regarding to the data analysis it was found that the students’ ability before treatment was 69.72 in the significant level 95%. On post-test data analysis, the students mean writing ability increased into 77.22. The inferential analysis or hypothesis testing also proved that the t-test was higher than t-table in the significant level 95% (α =0.05) and degree of freedom 63 (4.158 > 2.000) with ρ value (sig.) 0.00 < 0.05. It was clearly claimed that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) which stated that mind-mapping was effective towards students writing at second semester students of FPBS IKIP Mataram in academic year 2015/2016 was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) that said main-mapping is not effective toward students writing at second semester students of FPBS IKIP Mataram in academic year 2015/2016 was rejected. Those data evidently proved that mind mapping was effective towards students writing especially at second semester students of FPBS IKIP Mataram in academic year 2015/2016.
