a layer of stable Fe3O4phase can only be formed in alkaline environments, but this is only true for its metallic form. In reality we do not know how thick and stable the oxide layer was when the pin was first applied. Moreover, we do not have enough information ...
The level of dental anxiety was higher amongst first-year BDS students over those of final-year ones (Fig. 1). These results are consistent with previous studies performed elsewhere.10,18,22,29,30,31,32 A probable reason for this is that final-year students are more acclimatized with ...
The two-fold decrease in linear amplitude is a change of −6 dB. The example of measurement recording, made in the same method for mastoid is included in the Supplementary Materials. 4. Discussion Currently, a direct translation of bone cochlear vibrations levels into auditory impressions is ...
The achieved images were assessed and annotated into three different classes: “No Surface Change (NSC)”; “Visually Non-Cavitated (VNC)”; and “Cavitated” (C). An automated two-step SVM classification system was developed for caries detection. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were ...
