This paper introduces the algorithm that MatBase (an intelligent knowledge and database management system prototype) uses for enforcing acyclicities of binary Cartesian function products, characterizes it -proving is complete, sound, optimal, linear- and, besides its pseudocode embedding SQL, also provides an example implementation in standard ANSI-99 SQL MS VBA.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the radiopacity of 6 modern resin cements with that of human enamel and dentine using the Digora digital radiography system, to verify whether they meet the requirements of ANSI/ADA specification no. 27/1993 and the ISO 4049/2000 standard and assess whether their radiopacity is influenced by the thickness of the cement employed. MATERIALS AND METHO...

The basis for personal dosimetry performance testing in the United States is ANSI/HPS N13.11. Now in it's fourth edition, this standard has been in place since 1983. Testing under this standard is administered by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), and accreditation of dosimetry processors under this program is required by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) re...
