CLEANING OF CONCRETE-LINED CHANNELS WITH A LARGE CAPACITY ROTARY BUCKET

Capacity of Random Channels with Large Alphabets

We consider discrete memoryless channels with input alphabet size n and output alphabet size m, where m = ⌈γn⌉ for some constant γ > 0. The channel transition matrix consists of entries that, before being normalized, are independent and identically distributed nonnegative random variables V and such that E [ (V logV ) ] < ∞. We prove that in the limit as n → ∞ the capacity of such a channel con...

Critical stability number in rock lined channels

A cleaning protocol for rotary nickel-titanium endodontic instruments.

BACKGROUND The cleaning of endodontic and all dental instruments prior to sterilization is a prerequisite for their processing for re-use. This study aimed to develop a clinically practical cleaning protocol for rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) endodontic files prior to sterilization. METHODS Cleaning experiments were conducted on six different types of files that had been used on human teeth. T...

Comparison of Cleaning Efficacy and Instrumentation Time of Reciproc and Mtwo Rotary Systems in Primary Molars

Background and Aim: Pulpectomy of primary teeth is commonly performed with hand files and instruments. However, it is a time consuming procedure. Compared to hand files, rotary instrumentation has more advantages. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the cleaning efficacy and time taken for instrumentation of deciduous mo-lars using Reciproc and Mtwo rotary systems. Materials an...

Shear Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs Made with High-strength Concrete: A Numerical Study of the Effect of Size, Location, and Shape of the Opening (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Nowadays, concrete with strength higher than 50 MPa is utilized due to the ever increasing need for higher strength and prolonged healing properties. Despite the widespread use of high-strength concrete, only a few research projects have been conducted on the punching shear strength of high-strength concrete slabs. Reinforced concrete flat slabs are widely employed in structural systems. The lo...
