Long-lived software products commonly have a large number of reported defects, some of which may not be fixed for a lengthy period of time, if ever. These so-called languishing bugs can incur various costs to project teams, such as wasted time in release planning and in defect analysis and inspection. They also result in an unrealistic view of the number of bugs still to be fixed at a given tim...

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) fixed with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) through an experimental and a clinical study. Unilateral upper second and third premolars of eight beagles were extracted. A mucoperiosteal flap was elevated around the extraction socket, and a bone defect was made using a surgical drill. Each DDM was fixed ...

purpose: to evaluate the diagnostic signs, intraoperative complications and postoperative outcomes in children with congenital cataract and pre-existing posterior capsule defect (ppcd). methods: this interventional case series was conducted on 14 eyes of 7 patients who underwent lensectomy-anterior vitrectomy for congenital cataract with ppcd. all children had bilateral cataract. preoperative d...

Perovskite ferroelectrics such as BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 provide various functions arising from spontaneous polarization. Here, the history, present status, future prospects of defect chemistry for are described. Even non-doped samples, unintentional impurities including Fe govern its related properties. By solving multiple nonlinear equations employing thermodynamic data set reported, majority/mino...

in this paper, we prove some approximate fixed point results for proximinal valued $beta$-contractive multifunctions on metric spaces. we show that our results generalize some old fixed point results in the literature.

We analyze the effect of adding quenched disorder along a defect line in the 2D conformal minimal models using replicas. The disorder is realized by a random applied magnetic field in the Ising model, by fluctuations in the ferromagnetic bond coupling in the Tricritical Ising model and Tricritical Three-state Potts model (the φ12 operator), etc.. We find that for the Ising model, the defect ren...

It has been known how to use computational fixed point theorems to verify existence and uniqueness of a true solution to a nonlinear system of equations within a small region about an approximate solution. This can be done in O n operations, where n is the number of equations and unknowns. However, these standard techniques are only valid if the Jacobi matrix for the system is nonsingular at th...

We investigate the solution landscape of a reduced Landau–de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) on two-dimensional hexagon at fixed temperature, as function ?—the edge length. This is generic example approaches regular polygons. apply high-index optimization-based shrinking dimer method to systematically construct consisting multiple solutions, with different defect configurations,...
