Improving Antimicrobial Activity of Dental Restorative Materials

Mechanical performance of encapsulated restorative glass-ionomer cements for use with Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART)

UNLABELLED The Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach was suggested to be a suitable method to treat enamel and dentine carious lesions in patients with disabilities. The use of a restorative glass-ionomer with optimal mechanical properties is, therefore, very important. OBJECTIVE To test the null-hypotheses that no difference in diametral tensile, compressive and flexural strengths ...

Improving Performance With Serialisation

In our excitement over the amount of the MIPS and MFLOPS that are now at our disposal, we must not forget the powerful beneets of good software engineering. Parallelism simpliies and clariies the development of complex systems (even if it does not make them go faster!), and clearly therefore should be exploited. However, to conngure our design to a particular architecture, we have sometimes to ...

Improving Blue InGaN Laser Diodes Performance with Waveguide Structure Engineering

To enhance lasers’ power and improve their performance, a model wasapplied for the waveguide design of 400 nm InGaN/InGaN semiconductor laser, whichis much easier to implement. The conventional and new laser structures weretheoretically investigated using simulation software PICS3D, which self-consistentlycombines 3D simulation of carrier transport, self-heating, and opt...

Improving Maintenance through Development Experiences

An empirical comparison is made between present approaches/tools of software maintenance and development. The conclusion is that development technology is more mature in many aspects, such as automation, formalism, conndence, understanding of original systems and application domain. Aims to improve the weakness of maintenance, a uniied re-engineering approach is proposed which is based on a wid...
