Improving the adaptation of resin composites during placement is necessary to increase durability and reduce microleakage. Flowable resin liners have been introduced to improve adaptation in composite restorations. In addition, a device that lowers the viscosity of regular dental composites has been introduced (Calset, AdDent Inc, Danbury, CT, USA). This device lowers the viscosity of composite...

Combining with a static random-access memory (SRAM) and resistive (RRAM), an improved 8T2R nonvolatile SRAM (nvSRAM) cell is proposed in this study. With differential mode, pair of 1T1R RRAM added to 6T storage node. By optimizing the connection layout scheme, power consumption reduced data stability improved. The nvSRAM realized UMC CMOS 28 nm 1p9m process. When supply voltage 0.9 V, noise/rea...

Typical bounds on generalization of Support Vector Machines are based on the minimum distance between training examples and the separating hyperplane. There has been some debate as to whether a more robust function of the margin distribution could provide generalization bounds. Freund and Schapire (1998) have shown how a diierent function of the margin distribution can be used to bound the numb...

conclusions the most common cause of restoration replacement in patients referred to the babol university of dentistry during years 2013 and 2014 was secondary caries that were found in class ii restorations. patients and methods age, sex, type of occlusion, dmf, existing parafunction, type of tooth, class and reason of composite restoration replacement was recorded for patients who had referre...

This brief presents a new contribution in the problem of computing the stability margin of two-dimensional (2-D) discrete systems. The method, using the “resultant technique” instead of a typical minimization procedure , is actually an improvement of the method of .

I this paper, we investigate the integrated information and pricing strategy for a seller who can take customer preorders before the release of a product. The preorder option enables the seller to sell a product at an early stage when consumers are less certain about their valuations. We find that the optimal pricing strategy may be highly dependent on the amount of information available at pre...

Previous surveys have shown that subgingival restoration margins generally lead to significant inflammation of the marginal periodontium 6, 13, 16, 17 and, inter alai, trauma of the “biological width”. This term is defined as the area of the coronal periodontium of the limbus aleovaris, which consists of the connective tissue and epithelial attachment as well as the gingival sulcus (Figure 1a)....

Mobile robots often rely upon systems that render sensor data and perceptual features into costs that can be used in a planner. The behavior that a designer wishes the planner to execute is often clear, while specifying costs that engender this behavior is a much more difficult task. This is particularly apparent when attempting to simultaneously tune many parameters that define the mapping fro...
