Cementum was first described by Denton GB in 1835 as a calcified, avascular mesenchymal tissue that covers the entire root surface. It approximately comprises of 50% of hydroxyappetite and 50% of organic matrix which consist of non collagenous and collagenous proteins. Protein extract of mature cementum promotes cell attachment, migration and stimulates protein synthesis of gingival fibroblast ...

Neuroblastoma, a disease of early childhood, may be present at birth (Wells, 1940; Potter and Parrish, 1942; Bodian, 1959; Gross, Farber and Martin, 1959; King, Storaasli and Bolande, 1961; Dargeon, 1962; Voorhess and Gardner 1962a). Such cases are more likely to undergo remission than those occurring later in life (Bodian, 1959). Since Isaacs, Medalie and Politzer (1959) first noted an increas...

OF THESIS ACCURATE SOFTWARE RELIABILITY ESTIMATION A large number of software reliability growth models are now available. It is widely known that none of these models performs well in all situations, and that choosing the appropriate model a priori is difficult. For this reason recent work has focused on how these models can be made more accurate, rather than trying to find a model which works...

As the chapters in this volume attest, the foundational premise that culture and person coconstitute one another, perhaps more than any other, characterizes contemporary cultural psychology (Cole, 1996; Kitayama, 2002; Miller, 1997; 1999; Piker, 1998; Shweder, 1990). Ironically, however, this very premise is most challenging for a cultural psychological view of personality, for “personality” ha...

Depending on the extent of aortic disease and surgical repair required, thoracic aortic surgery often involves periods of reduced cerebral perfusion. Historically, this resulted in detrimental neurological dysfunction, and high risk of mortality and morbidity. Over the last half century, rapid improvements have revolutionized aortic surgery. Among these, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHC...
