Link Prediction in Complex Networks Using Average Centrality-Based Similarity Score.

Link prediction plays a crucial role in identifying future connections within complex networks, facilitating the analysis of network evolution across various domains such as biological networks, social networks, recommender systems, and more. Researchers have proposed various centrality measures, such as degree, clustering coefficient, betweenness, and closeness centralities, to compute similarity scores for predicting links in these networks. These centrality measures leverage both the local and global information of nodes within the network.

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Cranial Deformity in Hyperostotic Convexity Meningioma.

Cranial defects lead to unesthetic appearance and are a constant source of apprehension to the patient. Meningioma with calvarial extension requires the excision of the involved bone for complete excision. Such total excision would leave behind a bony defect which would need reconstruction.

Effect of Time and Method of Drying on Bond Strength of Tray Adhesives with Vinyl Polysiloxanes.

Aim: To establish an effective combination of drying time and drying method of the tray adhesive so that maximum bond strength can be achieved between impression tray and impression material.

Materials And Methods: Cylindrical specimens of auto-polymerizing resin and addition silicone impression material were made. A total of 150 specimens were tested.

Comparison of dimensional accuracy of four different die materials before and after disinfection of the impression: an in vitro study.

Background: This study was conducted to compare the linear dimensional accuracy of die materials before and after disinfection of the impression. Type IV and V conventional dental stone, type IV-resin impregnated and copper-plated die materials were studied.

Materials And Methods: A stainless-steel master die analogs to a complete veneer crown preparation with three scribed lines (I: vertical, II and III: horizontal) was machined and measurements were made from these scribed reference lines.
