Life expectancy and functional performance of the cantilever bridges is determined by the length of the cantilever pontic(s) and by the number and localisation of the abutment teeth. No overall epidemiological survey covering this topic was found in the literature. 529 distally cantilevered bridges were evaluated by the authors. There were 310 upper and lower cases. The following parameters were recorded: length of the cantilever part (number of units), the relationship of the cantilevered pontics and the bridge, and the position of the fixed restoration in the dental arch. Previously the cantilevered bridge design was not accepted in Hungary but in spite of this fact a large number of distally cantilevered bridges were made in the country. Most of the examined cantilever bridges are properly designed: two abutments are supporting one pontic (342 cases, 65.56%). However some of the solutions are too risky: one abutment, one cantilevered pontic (110 cases, 20.45%), or two abutments, two cantilevered pontics (53 cases, 9.85%).

Study on the structural stability of partial cable-stayed bridges with multiple towers and high piers during construction.

To clarify the structural safety and stability of partial cable-stayed bridges with multiple towers and high piers during the construction stage, a finite element analysis model of the entire construction process was established using a five-tower, six-span, partial cable-stayed bridge in Shaanxi Province, China, as the engineering background. Linear elasticity and nonlinear stability analyses were carried out in the following key construction stages: bare tower construction, maximum cantilever construction without cables, maximum cantilever construction with cables, side-span closure, secondary mid-span closure, mid-span closure, and second-phase paving. A sensitivity analysis of the structural parameters (the main tower stiffness, main pier stiffness, and main beam stiffness) was conducted.

As the functional and aesthetical importance of the canine cannot be overstated, the management of a missing canine is challenging. This case report describes the treatment of an infra-occluded ankylosed maxillary canine in a patient with previously failed orthodontic treatment. A 20-year-old patient sought a second opinion for orthodontic treatment failure.

Bridges are vital assets of transport infrastructure, systems, and communities. Damage characterization is critical in ensuring safety and planning adaptation measures. Nondestructive methods offer an efficient means towards assessing the condition of bridges, without causing harm or disruption to transport services, and these can deploy measurable evidence of bridge deterioration, e.

Hollow-core 3D printing (HC3DP) proposes a new method for the production of lightweight, material-efficient thermoplastic 3D printed elements. This new fabrication approach promises material savings of 50-80%, while increasing the extrusion rate significantly (factor 10). This development pushes HC3DP to a similar fabrication speed as high-resolution concrete 3D printing.

Context: Airborne pathogens, defined as microscopic organisms, pose significant health risks and can potentially cause a variety of diseases. Given their ability to spread through diverse transmission routes from infected hosts, there is a critical need for accurate monitoring of these pathogens. This study aims to develop a sensor by investigating the vibrational responses of cantilever and bridged boundary-conditioned single-layer graphene (SLG) sheets with microorganisms, specifically SARS-CoV-2, attached at various positions on the sheet.
