Abstract Background This research assessed three materials to be used in the fabrication of fixed free fixed dental prosthesis using finite element analysis.Total deformation, Von Mises stress maximum amounts and sites on both the bone, and the fixed dental prosthesis body were compared.Methods 3D finite element model was made for the tested fixed
The article presents the results of the research and pedagogical project on the care practices implemented by the families of children and adolescents (NNA, for its abbreviation in Spanish) with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) in three health institutions in Medellin, Colombia.This qualitative research, from an interpretative perspective an
This paper estimated the effects of tort law and insurer investment returns on physician malpractice insurance premiums.Data were collected on tort law from 1991 through 2004, and multivariate regression models, including fixed effects for state and year, were used to estimate the effect of changes in tort law on medical malpractice premiums.The pr
This article discusses approaches to simultaneously increase grain yield and resource use efficiency in rice.Breeding nitrogen efficient cultivars without sacrificing rice yield potential, improving grain fill in later-flowering inferior spikelets and Resistance enhancing harvest index are three important approaches to achieving the dual goal of hi
In this post-genomic era, genome-wide functional analysis is indispensable.The recent development of RNA interference techniques has enabled researchers to easily analyze gene function even in non-model organisms.On the other hand, little progress has been made in the identification and functional analyses of cis-regulatory elements in non-model or
