When studying large multiparametric databases with very heterogeneous parameters (microbiological, chemical, and physicochemical), covering a wide area, the probability of observing extreme values (Z-score > 2.5) is high. The information carried by these few samples monopolizes part conveyed entire database. study spatial structure data identification mechanisms responsible for water quality...

Although the central branches of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons do not spontaneously regenerate, a conditioning peripheral injury can promote their regeneration. A potential role of macrophages in axonal regeneration was proposed, but it has not been critically addressed whether macrophages play an essential role in the conditioning injury model. After sciatic nerve injury (SNI)...

In previous papers the authors showed that almost all d-regular graphs for d ≥ 3 are hamiltonian. In the present paper this result is generalized so that a set of j oriented root edges have been randomly specified for the cycle to contain. The Hamilton cycle must be orientable to agree with all of the orientations on the j root edges. It is shown that the requisite Hamilton cycle almost surely ...

We develop the Sparse Approximate Matrix Multiply (SpAMM) n-body solver for first order Newton Schulz iteration of the matrix square root and inverse square root. The solver performs recursive two-sided metric queries on a modified Cauchy-Schwarz criterion (octree-occlusion-culling in the ijkcube), yielding a bounded relative error in the matrix-matrix product and reduced complexity for problem...

Background: Being an autologous graft, a subepithelial connective tissue (SECT) graft shows more predictable root coverage better than other techniques. Hence, it is most likely to be widely used for recession treatment. During planing, smear layer forms on the surface that cannot removed by water or saline rinsing. To remove this layer, biomodification agents are used. The present study was co...

The aim of this in vitro study is to compare the microleakage of a root perforation sealed with MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) (group M) to that sealed with MTA following Er:YAG laser irradiation (group ML). Forty-two recently extracted human monoroot teeth were used. Two cavities were prepared on each root surface. Randomly, on each root, the exposed dentine of one cavity was irradiated prio...

The synaptic strength between primary afferent Ad-fibers, many of which convey pain-related information, and second order neurons in the spinal dorsal horn can be depressed for prolonged periods of time in a useand N-methyl-d-aspartate receptordependent fashion. Here, we have used a transverse spinal cord slice–dorsal root preparation of young rat to characterize the nature of this form of long...

A patient presented with chronic periapical periodontitis on tooth 45. The root canal was re-treated and a wide apical perforation was closed with MTA® as an apical plug. At reevaluation six month later, the tooth presented with increased mobility, bleeding on probing and probing pocket depths of 9 mm. Despite good periapical healing radio graphically, the tooth showed signs of localized margin...
