The aim of this study was to (i) obtain the force-related interferometric patterns of loaded dental implant abutment assemblies differing in diameter and brand using digital holographic interferometry (DHI) and (ii) determine the influence of implant diameter on the extent of load-induced implant deformation by quantifying and comparing the obtained interferometric data.
The moment of load path (MLP) based fatigue damage parameter is formulated in a form of an equivalent stress or strain range that measures both the extent of load-path deviation from proportionality within a fatigue cycle and material sensitivity to load-path non-proportionality.
Therefore, this study proposes to reformulate an eigenvalue based objective function to improve the extent of loading before the HB could occur in the system.
A parametric study is then conducted which examines the effects of varying the circumferential width of the patch load, the vertical extent of the load, the point of application of the load and the pressure distribution within the load.
The aim of our study was to compare and quantify the extent of bacterial load and gross contamination of the peritoneal cavity in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) vs those undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).
The extent of initial load contributes to the increase and decrease in specific protein release in both cases.
A possible volume-sparing effect, assigned to colloids in general, is the main indication for its widespread use, although the extent of fluid load reduction may be overestimated.
It is felt the cognitive 'load' of dynamic video clips may encourage cognitive processing [ 40] and therefore methodologies to explore the extent of this load created by PVCs are welcome.
This so called 'bone hunger syndrome' is further confirmed by the finding that in the subgroup of blastic appearances CaCr diminished whereas both ICTP and PTH increased according to the extent of tumour load in the bone.
These observations may relate to the fact that the extent of osmotic load is relatively modest, not leading to more marked changes in volume or urinary output, with compensatory mechanisms contributing to maintaining normal volume.
Here we have additionally elevated the mutation rate by deleting MSH2, a gene involved in DNA mismatch repair [ 36], in an attempt to increase the extent of genetic load experience by these populations.
