This work presents a 3D scanner able to reconstruct a complete object without occlusions, including its surface appearance.The technique presents a number of differences in relation to current scanners: it does not require mechanical handling like robot arms or spinning plates, it is free of occlusions since the scanned part is not resting on any s
Laser has been used efficiently for treatment of oral lichen planus, leukoplakia, aphthous ulcers and oral manifestations of HIV.Two cases of recalcitrant oral pemphigus vulgaris that were successfully treated with CO 2 laser are described.The patients had been treated by a dermatologist with pulse therapy of methyl prednisolone and cyclophosphamid
Lower motor neuron (LMN) damage results in denervation of the associated muscle targets and is a significant yet under-appreciated component of spinal cord injury (SCI).Denervated muscle undergoes a progressive degeneration and fibro-fatty infiltration that eventually renders the muscle non-viable unless reinnervated within a limited time window.Th
Ultraviolet fixed point functions of the functional renormalisation group equation for f(R)-gravity coupled to matter fields are discussed.The metric is split via the exponential parameterisation into a background metric and a fluctuating part, the former is chosen to be the one of a Girls Sweater four-sphere.Also when scalar, fermion and vector fi
In order to prevent future biological invasions, it is crucial to know non-native species distributions.We evaluated the potential global distribution of Azolla filiculoides, a free-floating macrophyte native to the Americas by using species distribution models and niche equivalency tests to analyze the degree of niche overlap between the native an
