Objectives.This study aimed to assess stress distribution in 5-unit fixed partial dentures (FPDs) with a pier abutment and rigid (RC) and nonrigid connectors (NRCs) with the canine rise and group function occlusal schemes by finite element analysis (FEA).Materials and Methods.In this FEA study, a geometrical model of the maxilla with natural teeth
Trace Element Supplementation of Livestock in New Zealand: Meeting the Challenges of Free-Range Grazing Systems
Managing the mineral nutrition of free-range grazing livestock can be challenging.On farms where grazing animals are infrequently yarded, there are limited opportunities to administer trace element new belial model supplements via feeds and concentrates.In New Zealand, where the majority of sheep, cattle, and deer graze pasture year round, inadequa
The vasotocinergic system in the hypothalamus and limbic region of the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)
We report a morphological and biochemical analysis on the presence, distribution and quantification of vasotocin in the hypothalamus and limbic region of the budgerigar Melopsittacus undulatus, using immunohistochemistry on serial sections and competitive enzyme linked immunoadsorbent assay measurements on tissue extracts.Analysis of the sections s
Development of Direct-Detection Doppler Wind Lidar for Vertical Atmospheric Motion
Wind is fundamental in many atmospheric phenomena.Global wind profile observation is important to improve numerical weather prediction (NWP) and various meteorological studies.Wind profile depileve easy clean observations are measured mainly by radiosonde networks.A Doppler Wind Lidar (DWL) is a useful remote sensing technique for wind measurement.
Study of combining ability effects in forage sorghum hybrids for yield and quality traits
Sorghum is a multipurpose crop being used as food, feed, fodder and fuel.The objective of the study was to investigate breeding values here of new F1 forage sorghum hybrids using line x tester crossing of six A1 cytoplasm type male sterile lines with five fertile local inbred lines and varieties, and 30 F1 hybrids were produced.Both parental lines
