AIM The purpose of this clinical and radiographic investigation was to evaluate the treatment outcomes of endodontically treated teeth obturated with Soft-Core versus cold lateral compaction. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 98 teeth were endodontically prepared using the Quantec LX rotary system with a crown-down pressureless technique and obturated with either Soft-Core or cold lateral comp...

In this paper, we propose the design of low power level-converting retention flip-flop (RFF)using LSSR technique for Zigbee System-onchips (SoCs).The proposed retention flip-flop allows the voltage regulator which generates the core supply voltage (VDD, core) is turned off during the standby mode and thus reduces the standby power and dc current of the Zigbee SoCs. This method is the combinatio...

A brief description of each phase of the 1401 FORTRAN compiler is given to illustrate the general scheme. The IBM 1401 FORTRAN compiler' was designed as a set of phases that operate sequentially on the source program. The source program having been placed in core storage, the compiler phases enter core one at a time. Each phase overlays its predecessor, operates on the source program and, in tu...

A wide range of program analysis and optimization techniques rely on the knowledge of the programs cache behavior. Thus soundness and precision of the underlying cache behavior model is important for these client analyses. Soundness and precision of the cache behavior models are becoming even more important with the recent advent of multi-core and many-core architectures due to two reasons. Fir...

This paper presents the experimental realization of magnetic hollow microspheres. Starting from core-shell microspheres with an organic core and a shell composed of nanoparticles, we could remove the core using a plasma etching technique. An estimate of the magnetoelastic effects arising from the interplay of magnetic dipolar interactions and cohesive energy which can be expected in such struct...

Fingerprint recognition is a widely used biometric identification mechanism. In case of correlation based fingerprint recognition detection of a consistent registration point is a crucial issue; this point can be a core point of a fingerprint. Many techniques have been proposed but success rate is highly dependent on input used and accurate core point detection is still an open issue. Here we d...

In a complex processor landscape dominated by multiand many-core processors, simplifying programming plays a crucial role in enhancing developers’ productivity. One way is to use highly tuned library functions. In this paper we present fastsg, an optimized library for the sparse grid technique with support for dimensional truncation. With optimizations for best cache use and vectorization, we i...
