Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Speech Processing Strategies in Cochlear ImplantsKouachi Rouiha, Djedou Bachir, Bouchaala AliCochlear implants can restore partial hearing to profoundly deaf people; the main function of these prostheses is to electrically stimulate the auditory nerve using an electrode array inserted in the cochlea. The acoustic signal is picked up by a microphone and analyzed. Then the extracted parameters of the signal are coded to generate electrical signals reconstituting the original signal. Currently … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleResidual Defects in Silicon Implanted with Boron and Phosphorous IonsM. JadanAccumulation of radiation defects in Si implanted with B+ or P+ ions, and formation of the residual extended defects (dislocation loops, rod-like defects) in the process of successive thermal treatment have been studied. The anomalies observed in the formation of the extended defects are associated with the elastic stresses in the damaged regions affecting the process of radiation defects clustering. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLocalization of Implanted Impurities in SiliconM. Jadan, Jihad S.M. AddasiLocalization of implanted boron impurities at the nodes and interstitial of silicon depending on the implantation current density has been studied by the X-ray diffraction and astrophysical methods. A shares of the impurity at the lattice sites increases with growing current density due to the instantaneous vacancy concentration and suppression of the impurity displacement from the sites by silicon interstitial. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite

Sales, Gislaine Santos, Jordan H. Souza, Ana StephanA portion of the origin-destination matrix of freight transport in Brazil corresponds to the railway mode; however, a small part of the matrix of passengers is represented by the modalities that use railway lines. The country has an extensive railway network, mainly in the southeast, but some parts are deactivated. This article aims to present a study of the possibility … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2017 · 8,334 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCytocompatibility and Antimicrobial Properties of Silver Nanoparticles-Loaded AMPs in the Oral CavityYanli Lv, Weikai ZhangPostoperative infection following oral metal implantation is a key factor that affects the success rate of surgery. This infection is mainly caused by bacterial biofilms. Traditional single antibacterial coatings have limitations, including a narrow antibacterial spectrum and poor cytotoxicity or stability. This study combined silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the synthetic antimicrobial peptide GL13K using electrostatic self-assembly technology to create a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2026 · 1,685 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsEarly Management of Non-Syndromic Hypodontia in a Child: Three-Year Follow-UpRoula Berbari, Nahla NassifHypodontia is the congenital absence of few teeth. The early multidisciplinary management of hypodontia assures the reestablishment of the disturbed psychological, aesthetic and oral functions. In this study, the clinical case of a child presenting a non-syndromic hypodontia with three agenesis teeth was described. No evidence of maxillary and mandibular third molars bud formation was noted on the orthopantomograph. To … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2021 · 6,474 accessesView PDFCite
