[Eight-year clinical results of SLA surface implant for dentition defect].

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effect of titanium implants with SLA surface preparation for partial prostheses.

Methods: One hundred and ninety-one implants with SLA surface preparation were implanted in 130 patients with dentition defect who required dental repair at Yantai Stomatologic Hospital Implant Center. Successful rate of the implant, changes of soft and hard tissue around the implants as well as the stability of the superstructure were recorded and evaluated by regular clinical and X-ray examinations.

GPU MrBayes V3.1: MrBayes on Graphics Processing Units for Protein Sequence Data.

We present a modified GPU (graphics processing unit) version of MrBayes, called ta(MC)(3) (GPU MrBayes V3.1), for Bayesian phylogenetic inference on protein data sets. Our main contributions are 1) utilizing 64-bit variables, thereby enabling ta(MC)(3) to process larger data sets than MrBayes; and 2) to use Kahan summation to improve accuracy, convergence rates, and consequently runtime.
