Structural Behaviour of Textile and Steel Reinforced Ceramic Composite Slabs
2014-09-30
Lubell, Adam S., Tassew, Samson T.
Magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MPPC) is an innovative chemically bonded cement formed by the reaction of magnesium oxide and monopotassium phosphate. Concrete produced using a MPPC binder can exhibit faster strength gain and results in lower overall environmental impacts from greenhouse...

The Effects of Axial Loading on the Disc and Motion Segment Relative to Disc Degeneration and Pain Using Novel MRI Biomarkers
DownloadSpring 2017
The underlying pathology of low back pain (LBP) is poorly understood. Although MRI is often used as a sensitive modality for depicting pathoanatomical abnormalities, it is often clinically inconclusive due to a lack of specificity. While most patients experience symptoms when the spine is loaded,...

Tooth length measurement accuracy and reliability with cone-beam CT and panoramic radiography
DownloadSpring 2010
This study assessed the accuracy and reliability of tooth length measurements through axial, coronal and sagittal serial slices of CBCT volumes; conventional panoramic radiographs; and CBCT panoramic reconstructions to that of a digital caliper gold standard. Samples consisted of maxillary...
