The influence of the physical state and habitual mastication on the glycaemic response and satiety
… state (liquid-sold nature) of food and habitual mastication (ingested particle size). The first study investigated the effects of the physical state and showed that it affected the shape and amplitude of the GR and insulin response (IR) curves but not the total metabolic response. The response …

Long-term Fuel and Vegetation Responses to Mechanical Mastication in northern California and southern Oregon
… common fuels treatment is mechanical mastication. Mastication does not remove fuels, but instead rearranges live and dead vertical woody fuels into a compacted layer on the forest floor. While mastication reduces potential fire intensity, these compacted fuels are flammable and capable …

The relationship between masticatory stress and prognathism : a finite element and morphometric study
Mechanical forces, such as mastication, influence morphological characteristics of the cranium. With varying degrees of prognathism found within and between populations, the ability to accommodate masticatory stress may vary, and this will have profound effects on final craniofacial form. The …

Network defects in vulcanised rubber
… rubber is very high and must be reduced by mastication so that it has sufficient plasticity to enable the incorporation of compounding ingredients. Such a reduction in molecular weight increases the number of elastically ineffective chain ends which reduces the physical properties of …

The Incidence of the Immediate Side Shift in Clinically Determined Eccentric Bruxers
… occlusal interference is usually avoided during mastication. This conforms to the general "convenience" principle of maximum intercuspation with avoidance of pain. | Frequently the pattern of mastication will be such that little or no irritation is placed on the involved tissues. In such …

ΜΑΣΗΤΙΚΗ ΙΚΑΝΟΤΗΤΑ ΣΕ ΟΛΙΚΕΣ ΟΔΟΝΤΟΣΤΟΙΧΙΕΣ
… LOOS-TEST. WE USED MIDDLE SIZE PEANUTS, AFTER MASTICATION, 10, 20, AND 30'' WERE MEASURED AND LISTED THE SIZE OF THE MASTICATORY-PIECES. THE VALUES WERE TABULATED AND STATISTICALLY ANALYSED WITH THE X2.

Effects of dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) and Na:K on dairy cows in early lactation, and the interaction of particle size reduction via mastication and rumination with digestion and passage in cattle
… between animal and microbial effects; i.e., mastication during eating enhances microbial fermentation, which increases the effectiveness of comminution during rumination. Significant amounts of variation in the particle size distributions of boluses entering the reticulorumen can now be …

IMPIANTI POST ESTRATTIVI IN SITI INFETTI: PROPOSTA DI UNA NUOVA METODICA DI TRATTAMENTO
… 1 year of function. Patient satisfaction for mastication function, phonetics, and esthetics was assessed using a questionnaire. Results: Of the 61 implants, 1 had failed 2 months after insertion because of infection. No additional complications were recorded. The overall implant success and …

Investigation of frictional resistance on orthodontic brackets when subjected to variable moments
… the influence of a variable moment, simulating mastication, placed at the bracket-archwire interface to determine its effects on friction. Friction of self-ligating brackets were also compared to stainless steel and ceramic brackets. Six archwires were combined with four brackets. Friction …

An In-Vitro Study of the Temporomandibular Reaction Forces through Motion-Capturing and Robotics
… since the mandible moves with more muscles of mastication than the number of degrees of freedom of the mandible with respect to the maxilla. A mandibular motion-capturing system along with a chewing RAPR capable of mimicking the human mandibular motion and measuring the real-time TMJs loading …

The demography of Balanites maughamii : an elephant-dispersed tree
… and to provide a germination cue through mastication. In the absence of elephants, the population experiences a recruitment bottleneck, but root suckers functionally replace seedlings and fill the "recruitment gap", so over the short term, the population is resilient. In all populations, …

Seasonal responses of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling to woodland reduction and different organic matter additions in the semiarid Great Basin
… We used two common fuel reduction treatments - mastication and cut-and-lop - in piñon-juniper encroached sagebrush ecosystems in the semiarid Great Basin to quantify how organic matter additions affect pools and fluxes of C, N, and P. We found that organic matter additions from woodland …

A selection of biomechanical research problems : from modeling to experimentation
… teeth and some processed food products during mastication, which is a routine but crucial daily activity of a human being. Chapter 4 looks at a problem within the field of surgery. In this chapter the stability and reliability of two different suturing techniques are explored. Chapters 5 and 6 …

A Literature Review of The Influence of The Stomatognathic System on Body Posture
… activities such as phonation, deglutition, mastication, and respiration. The aim of this literature review was to determine the impact of functional activities of the stomatognathic system on overall body posture based on available research studies. RESOURCES: A thorough literature review of …

Development and Characterization of a Mechanically Induced Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
… can result in injury to the TMJ or muscles of mastication. The goal of our study was to develop a clinically relevant model of TMD caused by prolonged jaw opening since mechanical overloading of the TMJ is a known causative factor in the onset of osteoarthritis and related orofacial pain …

Combining foods, combining tools: Understanding in vivo aroma release and sensory perception of composite foods
… do not consider food oral processing during mastication and are performed on single or model foods. A multidisciplinary approach integrating in vivo aroma release, oral processing behaviour, and dynamic sensory methods is needed to have a better understanding of how the release, evolution, …

Estimation of the proportions of grass and legume in extrusa of esophageallly-fistulated animals
… Calcium was not affected by salivation and mastication and was more reliable than NDF. Lignin was not an accurate predictor.
