Many papers have been published by the scientific community on the development of techniques that use direct block scheduling (DBS) to solve open pit production scheduling problems, and have compared the results obtained ...

This study presents 53-year climatology of Southern Hemisphere (SH) blockings in the winter using daily 500-hPa geopotential height data from NCEP–NCAR reanalysis. The variability of SH blocking events and their relationships ...

Background: Worsening in clinical and cardiac status has been noted after chronic right ventricular pacing, but it is uncertain whether atriobiventricular (BiVP) is preferable to atrio-right ventricular pacing (RVP). ...

Characterized by the high heat generation, grinding has great difficulty in dry machining. As an alternative, it is proposed to apply abundant cutting fluid (conventional method) or a minimum amount of lubrication, which ...

Background: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of the cortical thickness on the primary stability of short and conventional-sized implants with two types of prosthetic connection. Material and ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the primary stability of short and conventional dental implants with different platform types at different site densities in vitro. One hundred twenty implants were placed in ...

Conventionality control can be regarded as a recent effort by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to enforce the application of human rights international protective norms in nations that abide by the American Convention ...

Abstract An efficient channel allocation algorithm is proposed for the Partial Block MCCDMA system. Partial channel state information is used for determining the signal-to-noise ratio of all frequency-block-bands. The ...
