Objective: Different methods have been suggested to overcome the polymerization shrinkage of composite restorations. Changing the light curing protocol to improve polymerization by using new light curing units is among these methods. The new devices are more efficient, portable and durable and produce less heat. This study aimed to assess the marginal microleakage of class V composite restora...

The California population of Composite Cross V of barley was used as the source of three subpopulations that were started from generations 10, 20 and 30, respectively, and were grown in parallel environmental conditions in Cambridge for eight generations. Outcrossing rates (0.2%) were even lower than in the California material, and heterozygotes were correspondingly rare, so that the population...

First report on the production of protease through fed batch cultivation using co-culture of Pseudomonas putida and Staphylococcus aureus from a crude carbon source, banana peel. Batch production by using synthetic medium, impact of some of the process parameters on cell growth and alkaline protease activity was investigated and the optimized values were found to be inoculum size of 5 % (v/v), ...

This paper presents an image blending approach which combines optimal seam finding and transition smoothing for merging a set of aligned source images into a composite panoramic image seamlessly. In this approach, graph cut optimization is used for finding optimal seams in overlapping areas of the source images to create a composite image. If the seams in the composite image are still visible, ...

Source monitoring involves judgments regarding the origin of information (M. K. Johnson, S. Hashtroudi, & D. S. Lindsay, 1993). When participants cannot remember the source in a source-monitoring task, they may guess according to their prior schematic knowledge (U. J. Bayen, G. V. Nakamura, S. E. Dupuis, & C.-L. Yang, 2000). The present study aimed at specifying conditions under which schematic...
