Thanks for the wonderful item on the 1927 Mississippi River flood (1). I grew up in New Orleans and on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, hearing of storms and wading through floods all of my life, but no one had ever talked about the 1927 events, and this critical southern event was not taught in any history courses at my schools. Reading John Barry’s Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 19...

The physics potential of discovering and exploring supersymmetry at future ee linear colliders is reviewed. Such colliders are planned to start to operate at a center–of–mass energy of 500 GeV to 800 GeV, with a final energy of about 2 TeV expected. They are ideal facilities for the discovery of supersymmetric particles. High precision measurements of their properties and interactions will help...

The use of gutta-percha as a standard obturation material over more than 100 years has made little changes in the obturation technique. With the advent of bonding and composite resins as a routine restorative material, the concept of bonded obturation has come into picture. The Resilon-Epiphany system has brought about a paradigm shift in the conventional obturation technique. This article expl...

Abstract This chapter investigates the different ways in which Irish short story can be considered an art of silence. Taking Joyce’s Dubliners as example, it first provides overview strategies silence used modern story: ellipsis, eclipse and epiphany. While these are a corollary story’s brevity, they also reflect what Susan Sontag called aesthetics silence, art’s attempt to communicate unsayabl...

BACKGROUND As per many studies endodontically treated teeth are widely considered to be more susceptible to fracture than vital teeth. Obturation strains and post placement have been a major cause of vertical root fracture. Present study was conducted to compare in vitro fracture resistance after filling with either Gutta-percha or Resilon by lateral condensation techniques in root canals. This...

Common to a good deal of contemporary philosophical reflection on human identity is the conviction that we are systematically misled, even corrupted, by a picture of the human agent as divided into an outside and an inside— a ‘true self’, hidden, buried, to be excavated by one or another kind of therapy, ranging from the intellectual therapy of the post-Cartesian tradition (the modern ‘philosop...
