Effect of cleft palate type and manufacturing method on feeding plate adaptation: A volumetric micro‐computed tomography analysis

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Feeding plates for cleft palate patients have been used by clinicians for many years to temporarily close the oro‐nasal communication until definitive treatment with surgical techniques. The current in vitro study aimed to evaluate the adaptation of the feeding plates manufactured by two different techniques for three cleft types ...

Improving in-home appliance identification using fuzzy-neighbors-preserving analysis based QR-decomposition [PDF]

Fifth International Congress on Information and Communication Technology (ICICT), London, UK, 2020, 2020
This paper proposes a new appliance identification scheme by introducing a novel approach for extracting highly discriminative characteristic sets that can considerably distinguish between various appliance footprints. In this context, a precise and powerful characteristic projection technique depending on fuzzy-neighbors-preserving analysis based QR ...

Why Smart Appliances May Result in a Stupid Energy Grid? [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
This article discusses unexpected consequences of idealistic conceptions about the modernization of power grids. We will focus our analysis on demand-response policies based on automatic decisions by the so-called smart home appliances. Following the usual design approach, each individual appliance has access to a universal signal (e.g.

Efficacy of different protocols of non‐surgical periodontal therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The study focused on the efficacy of different NSPT protocols in subjects with type 2 diabetes and periodontitis.NSPT was more efficacious than oral hygiene alone or associated with supra‐gingival scaling with regard to all periodontal clinical outcomes, including a small effect on HbA1c.

Prevalence of Altered Craniofacial Morphology in Children With OSA

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affect a significant percentage of children. Recent studies have suggested that altered craniofacial morphology may contribute to the multifactorial pathophysiology of OSA. This study aims to determine the prevalence of craniofacial abnormalities and malocclusion in children referred for ...
