Abstract:

Misfit between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and business is widely recognized as the main cause of ERP system failure. Modification of the ERP system and adaptation of business processes have been hyped as the means to reduce misfits between ERP system and business organizations. Nevertheless, to date, very little empirical evidence exists to demonstrate that the potential has indeed been realized. Thus, the purpose of this study is to empirically examine to which extent the two misfit-reduction strategies, namely system modification and organizational adaptation mitigate the negative impacts of ERP misfits on ERP system performance, which is measured by information quality in this study. A total amount of 305 sets of questionnaire that collected from the ERP system users in manufacturing sector in Malaysia were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The findings of this study have revealed that the effects of the two misfit-reduction strategies vary based on the different characteristic of ERP misfits. Specifically, system modification is found to significantly reduce the negative impacts of deep-structure misfit such as process misfit, whereas organization adaptation is significant in mitigating surface-structure misfit such as data presentation and layout.

Abstract:

Misfit is unavoidable in dental implant-supported prostheses due to machining process or inappropriate assembling, and the definition of an admissible misfit is still a controversial issue. This work aims to understand the behavior of the screws in dental implant-supported prostheses to estimate an admissible vertical misfit value in terms of screw fatigue failure. For that purpose, a finite element model of a dental implant-supported prosthesis was created and analyzed. Vertical misfits were introduced in different positions, the lower and upper screws were tightened to the bolting force values recommended by the manufacturer, and two different occlusal loads were analyzed. In addition, two different prosthesis materials were studied. Screw load variations were reported and a fatigue analysis was performed. As a result, it was observed that the screw tightening sequence closed small vertical misfits (equal to or less than 40 µm), whereas larger misfits (more than 40 µm) remained open. If the vertical misfit is closed by the end of the tightening sequence, it may be considered equivalent to the ideal fit situation in regard to screw fatigue failure. The prosthesis material had no significant influence on the fatigue behavior.

Abstract:

The atomic structures of heterophase interfaces with large misfits (>14% in Ag/Ni and Au/Ni) and with small misfits (∼2% in Ag/NiO and Au/NiO) have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). It is found that all interfaces are strongly faceted on (111) planes. This indicates that (111) interfaces have the lowest interfacial energy in both metal/metal and metal/metal-oxide systems. For the metal interfaces, this also agrees with determinations of interfacial energies by lattice statics calculations. The large misfit of Ag/Ni and Au/Ni interfaces is accommodated by misfit dislocations. Observations of misfit localization by HREM are in good agreement with images derived from computer simulation, based on relaxed structures, obtained in embedded atom calculations. All misfit dislocations at the Ag/Ni and Au/Ni interfaces lie exactly in the plane of the interfaces, while the dislocations at Ag/NiO and Au/NiO interfaces reside at a stand-off distance, 3 to 4 (111)Ag or (111)Au interplanar spacings from the interfaces.

Abstract:

Manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) system which is the core information system that supports the operations of manufacturing organization, are often failed to meet estimated benefits, impeding operational performance and strategic advantages, due to the misfit between the structure modeled in the system and the actual structure of manufacturing environment it intended to represent. Furthermore, disputations upon whether organizational adaptation is always superseding other misfit resolving strategies have increasingly exposed. Hence, this paper presents an operational framework – taxonomy model of MRPII misfit to be applied in a case study which involves three small and medium manufacturing organizations in Malaysia, with the purpose of systematically classify MRPII misfits, and subsequently to identify appropriate misfit resolving strategy (system modification or organization adaptation) based on the specificity of the misfit. The implications of each type of MRPII misfit have been discussed from the perspectives of degree of misfit severity, risk of the MRPII system, organizational discretion on structural change, and most importantly the misfit resolving strategy. In addition, the planned methodology of the case study is presented, in details of selection of case companies and data analysis method. The findings of this proposed study is expected to serve as general guidelines or basics that can be referred by adopting organization to build their resolving strategy, according to the specificity of MRPII misfit situation which they encountered.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of misfit between competitive environment, business strategy and control structure on performance. We argue that the misfit between competitive environment, business strategy and control structure has significant negative implications on shareholder value creation associated with firms’ Joint Venture formation. Based on data of publicly-traded US manufacturing firms that announce a joint venture formation, we found that firms that have perfect fit are valued higher than those with both strategy and structural misfits and also those with structural misfit. Contradictory results were found when comparing firms with perfect fit with those that have strategy misfit. Further analyses indicate that all those strategy misfit firms operate in high entry barriers, where firms can compete effectively using either innovation or cost efficiency strategy due to the fact that they possess resources that are difficult to be imitated by their competitors.

Abstract:

Simulated ground motions have recently gained more attention in seismology and earthquake engineering. Since different characteristics of waveforms are expected to influence alternative structural response parameters, evaluation of simulations, for key components of seismological and engineering points of view is necessary. When seismological aspect is of concern, consideration of a representative set of ground motion parameters is imperative. Besides, to test the applicability of simulations in earthquake engineering, structural demand parameters should simultaneously cover a descriptive set. Herein, simulations are evaluated through comparison of seismological against engineering misfits, individually defined in terms of log-scale misfit and goodness-of-fit score. For numerical investigations, stochastically simulated records of three earthquakes are considered: The 1992 Erzincan-Turkey, 1999 Duzce-Turkey and 2009 L’Aquila-Italy events. For misfit evaluation, seismological parameters include amplitude, duration and frequency content, while engineering parameters contain spectral acceleration, velocity and seismic input energy. Overall, the same trend between both misfits is observed. All misfits for Erzincan and Duzce located on basins are larger than those corresponding to L’Aquila mostly placed on stiff sites. The engineering misfits, particularly in terms of input energy measures, are larger than seismological misfits. In summary, the proposed misfit evaluation methodology seems useful to evaluate simulations for engineering practice.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the neighborhood built environment (NBE) aspects of age-friendly cities and communities (AFCCs) and social capital in the Korean context. We described and compared age differences when analyzing misfits of AFCC NBE and impacts on social capital. We collected the data (N = 1246) from two Korean communities; our multiple and binary logistic regression outcomes show that AFCC NBE aspects such as outdoor spaces, transportation, and housing are significant predictors of different subcategories of social capital. For the older group, the outdoor spaces misfit was significant for all three subcategories of social capital, but transportation and housing misfits were significant for the social trust and reciprocity index scores. For the middle-aged group, the outdoor spaces misfit was significant for social networking and participation, and a transportation misfit was significant for participation and social trust and reciprocity. Fewer misfits or better fits of outdoor spaces and transportation encouraged more networking, participation, social trust, and reciprocity. Dwelling type was important to predict social capital, especially for the older group. The present study confirmed the importance of AFCC NBE in predicting social capital and unique factors in the Korean context.

Abstract:

Abstract Battlers poetry (dagong shige 打工詩歌), a genre whose name has mostly been rendered in English as “migrant worker poetry” to date, presents an important development in Chinese literature since the 2000s. Written by members of a new precariat that plays a key role in China's economic growth, this poetry speaks to the plight of its constituency. Xu Lizhi 許立志 (1990–2014) is one of its best-known authors, whose rise to fame was triggered if not caused by his suicide. While it is impossible to conduct a real discussion of Xu's work without referring to his suicide and the story of the migrant workers, his status as a figurehead of battlers poetry at large raises questions because what he wrote is arguably not very representative of the genre at all. These observations lead to a discussion of the way battlers poetry has been framed in Chinese critical discourse, where it is often said to have high social significance but low aesthetic value. This convenient dyad is unsatisfying in that it simplifies the text's relation to reality—which is more highly charged for battlers poetry than for many other literary genres.

Abstract:

Misfit between Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII) system and the manufacturing environment of adopting organization are well known in contributing to the failure of the system implementation and jeopardizing the system performance. Hence, it is vital to have a better understanding of the system-context misfit problem. Nevertheless, limited studies have empirically examined the relationship between the misfit and the system outcome, especially at the dimensional level of the variables. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a Misfit-Inviability Model (MIM) to conceptualize of relationships between MRPII misfit, extent of organizational readiness, and MRPII system outcome, at the dimensional level of each variable and grounded on strong theoretical foundations. The MIM is an enhancement of existing Fit-Viability Model (FVM). In terms of implication, the new model manages to represent the system adoption as a dynamic process over time, by incorporating implementation contingencies. Additionally, the framework serves as a general model that can be adapted to assess the relationship between outcome of various information systems and the misfits. Future research may include more testing and validation of the dimensions and constructs used in the model.

Abstract:

This study investigated whether there is a direct correlation between the level of vertical misfit at the abutment/implant interface and torque losses (detorque) in abutment screws. A work model was obtained from a metal matrix with five 3.75 x 9 mm external hex implants with standard platform (4.1 mm). Four frameworks were waxed using UCLA type abutments and one-piece cast in commercially pure titanium. The misfit was analyzed with a comparator microscope after 20 Ncm torque. The highest value of misfit observed per abutment was used. The torque required to loose the screw was evaluated using a digital torque meter. The torque loss values, measured by the torque meter, were assumed as percentage of initial torque (100%) given to abutment screws. Pearson's correlation (α=0.05) between the misfit values (29.08 ± 8.78 µm) and the percentage of detorque (50.71 ± 11.37%) showed no statistically significant correlation (p=0.295). Within the limitations of this study, it may be concluded that great vertical misfits dot not necessarily implies in higher detorque values.

Abstract:

Structural interpretation of seismic images can be highly subjective, especially in complex geologic settings. A single seismic image will often support multiple geologically valid interpretations. However, it is usually difficult to determine which of those interpretations are more likely than others. We have referred to this problem as structural model appraisal. We have developed the use of misfit functions to rank and appraise multiple interpretations of a given seismic image. Given a set of possible interpretations, we compute synthetic data for each structural interpretation, and then we compare these synthetic data against observed seismic data; this allows us to assign a data-misfit value to each structural interpretation. Our aim is to find data-misfit functions that enable a ranking of interpretations. To do so, we formalize the problem of appraising structural interpretations using seismic data and we derive a set of conditions to be satisfied by the data-misfit function for a successful appraisal. We investigate vertical seismic profiling (VSP) and surface seismic configurations. An application of the proposed method to a realistic synthetic model shows promising results for appraising structural interpretations using VSP data, provided that the target region is well-illuminated. However, we find appraising structural interpretations using surface seismic data to be more challenging, mainly due to the difficulty of computing phase-shift data misfits.

Abstract:

The interfacial region at the substrate, the morphology of the interface and the surface were studied for a number of Si-on-saphire (SOS) samples using X-ray scattering techniques, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A strained interfacial layer is formed in this high misfit system. The dislocations created in this layer and at the interfacial steps accommodate the elastic strain buildup. The misfit relaxation is accompanied by the misorientation of the epilayer with respect to the substrate, which itself depends on the substrate miscut parameters and the thickness of the epilayer. The observed azimuthal rotation of the epilayer miscut is attributed to the effect of the anisotropic microtwinning evolving with the increasing epilayer thickness. This azimuthal rotation is reflected by the step morphology on the surface of the epilayers.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the effects on performance of two types of misfits (overfit vs underfit) as well as two types of fits (high-high fit vs low-low fit) between environmental uncertainty and supply chain flexibility. Design/methodology/approach The two asymmetry hypotheses have been tested with survey data from 212 Chinese manufacturing firms. Findings The results in general provided empirical evidences for the asymmetric effects in the fits and misfits between environmental uncertainty and supply chain flexibility. For the same degree of misfit, underfit deteriorates performance more than overfit. In addition, high supply chain flexibility fitting high environmental uncertainty (i.e. high-high fit) results in a higher performance than low supply chain flexibility fitting low environmental uncertainty (i.e. low-low fit). Practical implications It suggests that managers should strive to avoid the underfit of supply chain flexibility rather than the overfit, if the perfect fit is impossible to achieve. In addition, as it is beneficial to realize the fit of supply chain flexibility to high levels of environmental uncertainty, managers should probably embrace the highly uncertain environment and enhance the supply chain flexibility of their organizations to meet the increasing uncertainty of environment. Originality/value Fit and misfit are the core concepts to understand the relationships among environmental uncertainty, supply chain flexibility strategy, and performance. While the existing literature highlights the differential performance consequences of fit vs misfit between environmental uncertainty and supply chain flexibility strategy, the effects on performance are assumed to be the same for the two types of misfits, and two types of fits. The authors challenge these symmetry assumptions by arguing that overfit has a less negative effect on performance than underfit, and high-high fit has a stronger positive effect than low-low fit. The authors found empirical evidence in a large sample of Chinese manufacturing firms.

Abstract:

Abstract In geophysical applications, solutions to ill‐posed inverse problems Ax=b are often obtained by analyzing the trade‐off between data residue ‖Ax−b‖2 and model norm ‖x‖2. In this study, we show that the traditional L‐curve analysis does not lead to solutions closest to the true models because the maximum curvature (or the corner of the L‐curve) depends on the relative scaling between data residue and model norm. A Bayes approach based on empirical risk function minimization using training datasets may be designed to find a statistically optimal solution, but its success depends on the true realization of the model. To overcome this limitation, we construct training models using eigenvectors of matrix ATA as well as spectral coefficients calculated from the correlation between observations and eigenvector projected data. This approach accounts for data noise level but does not require it as a priori knowledge. Using global tomography as an example, we show that the solutions are closest to true models.

Abstract:

Purpose Overseas work experiences have played a critical role in venture creation and success, yet the impact of overseas work experience on returnee entrepreneurs’ venture capital funding in the Chinese market remains understudied. This paper aims to explore the impact of returnee entrepreneurs’ overseas experiences on their opportunities of venture capital funding in China to help better understand the potential benefits that overseas work experiences bring to emerging markets. Design/methodology/approach The authors have conducted a two-year inductive field study to explore the impact of overseas experiences on Chinese returnee entrepreneurs’ funding in the Chinese market with in-depth interviews with returnee capital seekers (or the venture founders) and capital providers. Findings The results show that returnee entrepreneurs are more likely to succeed in acquiring financial resources for their new ventures if they skillfully present their overseas work experiences and international networks to manage the impression constructed by capital providers. Originality/value This research sheds light on how returnee entrepreneurs use impression management in external resource acquisition. It is clear that overseas experience has been regarded a symbol of personal capability closely associated with advanced knowledge and valuable human and social capital in the Chinese context. Resource holders appreciate such an association. The authors suggest that returnee entrepreneurs concerned about how to effectively acquire external resources should reflect upon the ways of presenting themselves to potential investors and fostering a positive image that encourages investors to commit to their ventures.

Abstract:

A phase field crystal (PFC) model is employed to study morphology evolution of nanoheteroepitaxy and misfit dislocation generation when applied with enhanced supercooling, lattice mismatch and substrate vicinal angle conditions. Misfit strain that rises due to lattice mismatch causes rough surfaces or misfit dislocations, deteriorates film properties, hence, efforts taken to reveal their microscopic mechanism are significant for film quality improvement. Uniform islands, instead of misfit dislocations, are developed in subcritical thickness film, serving as a way of strain relief by surface mechanism. Misfit dislocations generate when strain relief by surface mechanism is deficient in higher supercooling, multilayers of misfit dislocations dominate, but the number of layers reduces gradually when the supercooling is further enhanced. Rough surfaces like islands or cuspate pits are developed which is ascribed to lattice mismatch, multilayers of misfit dislocations generate to further enhance lattice mismatch. Layers of misfit dislocations generate at a thickening position at enhanced substrate vicinal angle, this further enhancing the angle leading to sporadic generation of misfit dislocations.

Abstract:

PurposeThe growing instability of the labor market will almost certainly result in more employees whose values misfit with their organization’s. This paper draws from the exit-neglect-voice-loyalty model to examine a broader range of responses to misfit; explores sociopolitical resources as the mechanisms through which misfit transmits its effects and investigates job mobility as a boundary condition enhancing or constraining responses to misfit.Design/methodology/approachA novel model (N = 152 New Zealand employees) examined links from misfit to two sociopolitical resources (perceived influence and organizational responsiveness) and from these to exit-neglect-voice-loyalty moderated by job mobility. Supplemental analyses examine moderated-mediation.FindingsMisfit negatively predicted both sociopolitical resources, perceived influence and organizational responsiveness. Moderated-mediation analyses showed that the constructive reactions to misfit (voice and loyalty) were predicted conditionally at low levels of job mobility and indirectly via the respective sociopolitical resources. In contrast, destructive reactions to misfit (exit and neglect) were predicted directly, with neglect predicted at high levels of job mobility.Research limitations/implicationsImplications for human resource practitioners highlight the deleterious repercussions of misfit but also include the conditions under which misfit employees may attempt to constructively salvage their employment relationship.Originality/valueThis study integrates a broader set of concurrent responses to misfit using the exit-neglect-voice-loyalty typology, as well as introducing sociopolitical perspectives to the literature on misfit.

The article argues for theorizing and studying the significance of how so-called leaders and followers converge or diverge in their views and understandings of the leadership/followership relations they may be part of. Divergence or misfits may be common yet missed by the researcher who takes only one party’s view of leadership into account and/or assumes that people involved define the relationship in a similar way. The article identifies and illustrates four typical forms of shared/diverse meanings regarding leadership: high-alignment leadership (shared meanings), value misfit (diverse assessment), construction misfit (different views of what goes on), and multiple breakdowns (high level of confusion of what goes on and how to assess it). Given variations in views of leadership, this article makes a case for considering “divergent relationalities”—in some opposition to common ideas about “smooth” leadership/followership relations based on convergent meanings.

Abstract:

Full-waveform inversion has evolved into a powerful computational tool in seismic imaging. New misfit functions for matching simulated and measured data have recently been introduced to avoid the traditional lack of convergence due to cycle skipping. We have introduced the Wasserstein distance from optimal transport for computing the misfit, and several groups are currently further developing this technique. We evaluate three essential observations of this new metric with implication for future development. One is the discovery that trace-by-trace comparison with the quadratic Wasserstein metric works remarkably well together with the adjoint-state method. Another is the close connection between optimal transport-based misfits and integrated techniques with normalization as, for example, the normalized integration method. Finally, we study the convexity with respect to selected model parameters for different normalizations and remark on the effect of normalization on the convergence of the adjoint-state method.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study is to explore the “misfits” occurring between doctoral students and their supervisors. More precisely, we investigate the types of incongruences that occur, whether and how they are regulated and their consequences on students’ outcomes. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 former PhD students (8 completers and 13 non-completers). Results show that, when facing a misfit, PhD students either (1) learn to live with it and/or turn to alternate resources, (2) suffer from it without being able to address the problem with their supervisor, (3) address the issue with their supervisor and try to solve it in various ways, or (4) are unable to address the issue because it reached a point of no return. Further, types of misfit regulation are likely to have an influence on students’ motivation and engagement. These results are discussed in the light of person-environment fit, coping, emotional regulation, and conflict management frameworks.

Abstract:

We have proposed a misfit function based on adaptive matching filtering (AMF) to tackle challenges associated with cycle skipping and local minima in full-waveform inversion (FWI). This AMF is designed to measure time-varying phase differences between observations and predictions. Compared with classical least-squares waveform differences, our misfit function behaves as a smooth, quadratic function with a broad basin of attraction. These characters are important because local gradient-based optimization approaches used in most FWI schemes cannot guarantee convergence toward true models if misfit functions include local minima or if the starting model is far away from the global minimum. The 1D and 2D synthetic experiments illustrate the advantages of the proposed misfit function compared with the classical least-squares waveform misfit. Furthermore, we have derived adjoint sources associated with the proposed misfit function and applied them in several 2D time-domain acoustic FWI experiments. Numerical results found that the proposed misfit function can provide good starting models for FWI, particularly when low-frequency signals are absent in recorded data.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of fabrication techniques on the surface micro-roughness (Ra) and marginal misfit of cobalt chromium (CoCr) copings. A mandibular first molar was prepared for a metal ceramic crown. Forty metal copings were prepared and divided into groups (n = 10). Group 1, Casting-Lost wax technique (Cast-LWT), Group 2, CAD-CAM, Group 3, Selective laser melting (SLM), and Group 4, Digital light processing-Cast (DLP-Cast). Ra was measured using laser profilometry and marginal misfit was analyzed with Micro-CT. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey multiple comparison, and correlation coefficient tests were applied (p < 0.05). SLM technique showed the highest Ra (2.251 ± 0.310 μm) and the Cast-LWT group presented the lowest Ra (1.055 ± 0.184 μm). CAD-CAM copings showed statistically lower Ra compared with SLM samples (p = 0.028), but comparable Ra to DLP-Cast (p > 0.05). CoCr copings fabricated from the DLP-Cast technique demonstrated the highest marginal misfit (147.746 ± 30.306 μm) and the lowest misfit was established by SLM copings (27.193 ± 8.519 μm). The SLM technique displayed lower marginal misfit than DLP-Cast and CAD-CAM (p = 0.001), but comparable misfit to Cast-LWT copings. Ra influenced the marginal misfit in CAD-CAM, SLM, and DLP-Cast technique-fabricated copings. (p < 0.01). Marginal misfit and Ra of CoCr copings are contingent on the different fabrication techniques.

Abstract:

Determination of lattice misfit and microstructural parameters of the coherent precipitates in Ni based alloy Inconel-625 is a challenging problem as the diffraction peaks of the precipitate and the matrix are completely overlapping. X-ray Diffraction Line Profile Analysis (XRDLPA) has been used to characterize the bulk samples of Inconel 625 at different heat-treated conditions to determine the lattice parameters of the parent phase and also the coherent precipitates by the separation of the overlapping peaks. The lattice misfits of the coherent precipitates with the matrix and their microstructural parameters like size and strain have also been determined.

Abstract:

Misfit layer compounds are structures that consist of two sublattices differing in at least one of their lattice constants. The two different layers are stacked either an alternating or in a more complex series resulting in mono- or multi-layer misfit compounds. To date, planar and bent misfit structures, such as tubes, scrolls or nanoparticles, have been synthesized and interesting magnetic and physical properties have been observed as a result of their special structures. Based on these observations, we present an overview of such misfit systems and summarize and discuss their electronic structure as well as the interlayer bonding behaviour, which is not completely understood yet. Furthermore, a more detailed insight into the SnS–SnS2 system is given, which was the first tubular misfit compound that has been synthesized and extensively investigated.

Abstract:

Elastic interactions, arising from a difference of lattice spacing between two coherent phases in eutectic alloys with misfit stresses, can have an influence on microstructural pattern formation of eutectic colonies during solidification process. From a thermodynamic point of view the elastic energy contributes to the free energy of the phases and modifies their mutual stability. Therefore, the elastic stresses will have an effect on stability of lamellae, lamellae spacing and growth modes. In this paper, a phase-field model is employed to investigate the influence of elastic misfits in eutectic growth. The model reduces to the traditional sharp-interface model in a thin-interface limit, where the microscopic interface width is small but finite. An elastic model is designed, based on linear microelasticity theory, to incorporate the elastic energy in the phase-field model. Theoretical and numerical approaches, required to model elastic effects, are formulated and the stress distributions in eutectic solidification structures are evaluated. The two-dimensional simulations are performed for directed eutectic growth and the simulation results for different values of the misfit stresses are illustrated.

Abstract:

Summary In seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI), the choice of misfit function determines what information in data is used and ultimately affects the resolution of the inverted images of the Earth's structure. Misfit functions based on traveltime have been successfully applied in global and regional tomographic studies. However, wave propagation through the upper mantle results in multiple phases arriving at a given receiver in a narrow time interval resulting in complicated waveforms that evolve with distance. To extract waveform information as well as traveltime, we use a misfit function based on the normalized correlation coefficient (CC). This misfit function is able to capture the waveform complexities in both phase and relative amplitude within the measurement window. It is also insensitive to absolute amplitude differences between modeled and recorded data, which avoids problems due to uncertainties in source magnitude, radiation pattern, receiver site effects or even miscalibrated instruments. These features make the misfit function based on normalized CC a good candidate to achieve high-resolution images of complex geological structures when interfering phases coexist in the measurement window, such as triplication waveforms. From synthetic tests, we show the advantages of this misfit function over the cross-correlation traveltime misfit function. Preliminary inversion of data from an earthquake in Northeast China images a sharper and stronger amplitude slab stagnant in the middle of the transition zone than FWI of cross-correlation traveltime.

Abstract:

An important parameter for the characterization of microstructural changes in nickel base superalloys is the misfit - the relative difference between lattice parameters ofγmatrix andγ′precipitates. The misfit in IN738LC superalloy was examined at POLDI time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffractometer both at room temperature and in situ at elevated temperatures using a high-temperature furnace. A careful out-of-furnace measurement yielded the lattice parameters of bothγandγ′phase at room temperature (aγ=3.58611(10) Å,aγ′=3.58857(17) Å) as well as the misfit (equal to6.9(6)×10-4). The in situ measurement at elevated temperatures provided the temperature dependence of the lattice parameters ofγ(up to 1120°C) andγ′(up to 1000°C). Using these data, the evolution of the misfit with temperature was calculated. The misfit decreases with increasing temperature until it reaches zero value at a temperature around 800°C. Above 800°C, it becomes negative.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to perform an integrative review of the literature on the clinically usual prosthesis-abutment misfit over implant-supported structures manufactured by conventional casting technique. The present integrative review used the PRISMA methodology. A bibliographical search was conducted on the following electronic databases: MEDLINE/PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Scopus (Elsevier), ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Web of Science (Thomson Reuters Scientific), Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME), and Virtual Health Library (BVS). A total of 11 relevant studies were selected for qualitative analysis. The prosthetic-abutment vertical misfit considered clinically usual ranged from 50 to 160 μm. The vertical misfit depends on several steps during technical manufacturing techniques, which includes the materials and technical procedures. Lower values in misfit are recorded when precious metal or titanium alloys are utilized. Although a vertical misfit mean value of 100 μm has been considered clinically usual, most of the previous studies included in this revision showed lower mean values.

Abstract:

Misfit dislocations are known to accommodate disregistry at interfaces which separate crystals of different orientation and/or lattice parameter. Most studies of misfit dislocations have addressed epitaxial bicrystals in ‘parallel’ orientation relationships (OR), e.g, cube-on-cube in fee systems. Recent work, though, has demonstrated that non-parallel epitaxial ORs are energetically favored in some systems, e.g, (111)/(001) in fee systems of large misfit (∼12%). In these systems coexistence of equivalent variants of the same OR gives rise to ‘multivariant epitaxy’ wherein a film grows in a special polycrystalline form on a monocrystalline substrate. In this study we examine the accommodation of misfit in the special structures produced by multivariant epitaxy of (111)Ag on (001)Cu.
