Vacuum evaporated polycrystalline CdTe thin films were deposited on to glass substrates and optical parameters were determined by envelope technique. Thin films were characterized by optical transmission spectroscopy in the spectral range 290 - 1000 nm. The refractive index, extinction coefficient, optical conductivity and loss…

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine whether there is a relationship between third molar agenesis, and skeletal jaw morphology in sagittal and vertical planes. Materials and Methods: Records of 108 orthodontic patients were evaluated. Skeletal jaw variables (SNA, SNB and ANB angles,…

There are special considerations for intellectual property when considered in the context of cloud computing.  Innovations in the technological field of cloud computing are considered, with a focus on the availability of patent protection.  A claim drafting strategy is devised taking account of the characteristic…

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the balance of upper- and lower-lip-closing forces (LCF) during pursing-like lip-closing and lateral craniofacial morphology. Sixty-two females with malocclusion were subjected to lateral cephalography and divided into 3 groups (skeletal Classes I, II and III)…

This case report describes a fibrino-purulent necrotizing metritis in a two year old female French Bulldog that appeared after performing a caesarean section because of dystocia.
