Μελέτη της πιθανής μεταβολής της θέσης ανάπαυσης της κάτω γνάθου μετά την εξαγωγή των δοντιών και την τοποθέτηση ολικών οδοντοστοιχιών
… is the determination of the «correct» vertical dimension of occlusion. Although many methods have been suggested over the years for that purpose the most clinically reliable seems to be that which relates the occlusal vertical dimension to the rest position of the mandible. The primary …

Infants' Reasoning About Objects in the Physical World
… revealed that 9-month-olds attended to both verticality and object width. Furthermore, with the addition of width, verticality was elaborated to take width into account. Thus, for 9-month-olds: (1) objects that were wide were perceived as immovable; (2) objects that had a salient vertical …

A Shield in the Sky: The Vertical Geopolitics of Transcontinental Air Defense
… forced military theorists to contend with a new, vertical, dimension of conflict. In America, the United States Air Force assumed an important role in this vertical dimension as the country's delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons. However, at the same time that politicians, academics, and …

Designing High-Performance Microprocessors in 3-Dimensional Integration Technology
… technology stacks active devices in the vertical dimension in addition to the conventional horizontal dimension. The additional degree of connectivity in the vertical dimension enables circuit designers to replace long horizontal wires with short vertical interconnects, thus reducing …

The static and fatigue behavior of low profile precast concrete sleepers
… Profile precast concrete sleepers have the same vertical dimension as traditional wooden sleepers and thus offer a promising alternative to replace wooden sleepers on tracks where maintaining vertical alignment is necessary. The structural response of Low Profile precast concrete sleepers was …

The Wear of Acrylic Resin and Composite Resin Teeth against Polished and Glazed Zirconia
… poor esthetics and leads to reduced the occlusal vertical dimension which could lead to the development of temporomandibular disorders, consequently, further compromise function. Very few studies have been performed on the wear resistance of zirconia against artificial denture teeth and human …

Acoustic investigation of the shoaling dynamics of sardine sardinops sagax populations : implications for acoustic surveys
… at various scales in both the horizontal and vertical dimension in an attempt to ascertain whether these surveys are adequate to characterise the occupation of space by sardine. Hydro-acoustic data collected during 5 meso-scale surveys in 1994 and 1995 was used to study the shoaling dynamics …

Urban in the sky: a vertical transition
… there have been a variety of reasons for vertical expansion, thus resulting in an image which defines the particular aspirations during that period of time and place. This thesis attempts to explore the image of the skyscraper through vertical transitions. Architectural transitions may be …

Estimating centre of mass trajectory and subject-specific body segment parameters using optimisation approaches
… jumping activities were also demonstrated. The vertical dimension methods were all appropriate for determining transient jump performance parameters commonly calculated in jumping assessments (Hatze, 1998), including CM jump height, work and power. The final experiment presented methods of …

Mandibular Resting Posture : An Electromyographic Evaluation
<p>Mandibular resting posture is the positional expression of cranial-facial morphology and the myotatic reflex of its contiguous musculature.</p> <p>Alteration of sensory input to the main sensory, mesencephalic and motor nucleus of the Fifth nerve in a myotalic reflex system, theoretically should …

Characterization of bonded copper interconnects for three-dimensional integrated circuits
… cost and power dissipation. As the critical dimensions in ULSI design continue to shrink, system performance of integrated circuits will be increasingly dominated by interconnect delay. Three-dimensional (3-D) ICs can reduce interconnect delay problems by offering flexibility in system …

Craniofacial Changes Following Nonextraction Orthodontic Treatment: A Long-Term Cephalometric Analysis
… by 4.3 mm, making the total increase in the vertical dimension of the anterior face greater than 7 mm.</p> <p>Dentally, the upper and lower incisors experienced significant uprighting after treatment, which was confirmed by decreases in U1‑SN, U1‑NA, IMPA, and L1‑NB angles. Overbite and …

System-level performance evaluation of three-dimensional integrated circuits
As the critical dimensions in VLSI design continue to shrink, system performance of integrated circuits (ICs) will be increasingly dominated by interconnect delay [1]. For the technology generations approaching 50 nm and beyond, innovative system architectures and interconnect technologies will be …

The occlusal plane inclination relative to craniofacial form: A cephalometric investigation
… occlusal plane inclination varies relative to vertical and sagittal skeletal discrepencies. The Six Elements of Orofacial Harmony does not address the occlusal plane inclination as a parameter in diagnosis and treatment planning despite its spatial influence on the position of the chin. The …

Testing of Orthodontic Springs Using Geometric Variables
… cavity. This study demonstrates how altering the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the T- and L-loops affects their force characteristics. The vertical dimensions were 6 mm and 7 mm for the T- and L-loop. The horizontal dimensions were 6 mm, 7 mm, and 8 mm for the T-loop and 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 …

Weighing the Milky Way While Exploring Dynamical Disequilibrium
… velocity and mean azimuthal velocity in the vertical phase space. Under such a context, while baryonic-dark decomposition remains a fundamental problem, understanding the Milky Way’s disequilibrium also becomes important. In this thesis, we developed new algorithms to simultaneously fit the …

A Reference Model and Architecture for Future Computer Networks
… bottom-up approach along two main dimensions: a vertical dimension addressing structure and configuration of network building blocks; and a horizontal dimension addressing communication and interactions among the previously formulated building blocks. For each network dimension, …

Modulation transfer function measurements, image quality metrics, and subjective image quality for soft-copy color images
… of four pictorial color scenes in the horizontal dimension, the vertical dimension, and in a combined two dimensional format. The same spatial frequency filters also were applied in a circular format. Thirty-two subjects, 24 college students and 8 Eastman Kodak employees, participated in a paired …

INTERACTION BETWEEN TIME AND VERBAL FLUENCY: A BEHAVIORAL MODEL FOR REDUCING AGGRESSIVE
… design with four levels of time forming the vertical dimension and the two levels of client verbal fluency forming the horizontal dimension. The level of significance was set at .05, a level at which all four hypotheses were tested. Since specific questions were raised prior to the initiation …
