ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the body mass index (BMI) and the weight loss (WL) in patients with dentofacial deformities who underwent monomaxillary versus bimaxillary orthognathic surgery.Materials and Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included 69 patients with dentofacial deformities who underwent surgical surface awaken protein mous
Polysubstance use is common among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD).However, the underlying neurobiology of the complex interactions between different drug classes is understudied.Further, drug associations can serve as relapse factors, but current behavioral paradigms commonly used to assess these learned associations are not as easily
In wireless sensor networks, the reliability of communication can be greatly cassis crista improved by applying low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes.Algorithms based on progressive-edge-growth (PEG) pattern and quasi-cyclic (QC) pattern are the mainstream approaches to constructing LDPC codes with good performance.However, these algorithms are not
The present paper aims to provide a contribution in the study of the seismic analysis of existing masonry structures in presence of uncertain parameters described by following both probabilistic and non-probabilistic models.By posing the attention on the local out-of-plane failure mechanisms, the non-deterministic analysis is conducted on the omni
