Short-term spectroscopic variability of Plaskett's star [PDF]
Context. Plaskett's star (HD47129) is a very massive O-star binary in a post Roche-lobe overflow stage. CoRoT observations of this system revealed photometric variability with a number of frequencies. Aims. The aim of this paper is to characterize the variations in spectroscopy and investigate their origin. Methods. To sample its short-term variability,

What Good Are Strong Specifications? [PDF]
Experience with lightweight formal methods suggests that programmers are willing to write specification if it brings tangible benefits to their usual development activities. This paper considers stronger specifications and studies whether they can be deployed as an incremental practice that brings additional benefits without being unacceptably ...

Two Different Modeling Techniques for Fabrication and Application of Bone-Borne Symphysis Distractor
The aim of this study is to convert a simple, expansion screw used for rapid palatal expansion into a bone-borne symphysis distractor and to introduce two different modeling techniques for adapting of the screw to the anatomy of symphysis before surgery.

PRESLA: An original device to measure the mechanical interaction between tongue and teeth or palate during speech production [PDF]
An original experimental procedure is presented to measure the mechanical interaction between tongue and teeth and palate during speech production. It consists in using edentulous people as subjects and to insert pressure sensors in the structure of a replication of their dental prosthesis.

A non-invasive device to measure mechanical interaction between tongue, palate and teeth during speech production [PDF]
This paper describes an original experimental procedure to measure the mechanical interaction between the tongue and teeth and palate during speech production. It consists in using edentulous people as subjects and to insert pressure sensors in the structure of their complete dental prosthesis.

Wooden Spatula Sinusitis following Maxillary Expansion Surgery [PDF]
Sinusitis is a recognised rare complication of palatine expansion procedures and is usually caused by the presence of an oroantral fistula. We report the first case of unilateral sinusitis as a result of a retained foreign body (a wooden spatula ...
