conclusions there was no statistically significant difference in the parotid absorbed dose between spiral tomography and a panoramic radiograph (p value = 0.18). the overall results of this study were similar to other studies. results for the tube side parotid, the average absorbed doses in spiral tomography of the anterior and posterior parts of the maxilla and mandible, with the 2 mm slice th...

We present an improved implementation of the Wagner-Whitin algorithm for economic lot-sizing problems based on the planning-horizon theorem and the Economic- Part-Period concept. The proposed method of this paper reduces the burden of the computations significantly in two different cases. We first assume there is no backlogging and inventory holding and set-up costs are fixed. The second model ...

A widespread myth asserts that all small universe models suppress the CMB quadrupole. In actual fact, some models suppress the quadrupole while others elevate it, according to whether their low-order modes are weak or strong relative to their high-order modes. Elementary geometrical reasoning shows that a model’s largest dimension determines the rough value lmin at which the CMB power spectrum ...

We present in this paper several asymptotic properties of constrained Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with a countable state space. We treat both the discounted and the expected average cost, with unbounded cost. We are interested in (1) the convergence of nite horizon MDPs to the innnite horizon MDP, (2) convergence of MDPs with a truncated state space to the problem with innnite state space,...

Miller and Modigliani (1961) consider valuation of innnite horizon rms that may not engage in purchasing their own shares. While their fundamental valuation approach applies also to rms that purchase their own shares, their stream of dividends approach does not. The latter approach is modiied so that it can be used for valuation of innnite horizon rms including those which may purchase their ow...

In this study, stability conditions of receding horizon control (RHC) based on a horizon size are proposed for linear discrete systems. The proposed stability conditions present a relevant horizon size which can guarantee the stability of RHC even though a final state weighting matrix does not satisfy non-increasing monotonicity of optimal cost. Therefore, the possible range of the final state ...

We study cosmological solutions of Einstein gravity with a positive cosmological constant and perfect fluid matter in diverse dimensions. These include big-bang models that re-collaspse, big-bang models that approach de Sitter acceleration at late times, and bounce models that are both past and future asymptotically de Sitter. The re-collapsing and the bounce geometries are all tall in the sens...

Abstract From any location outside the event horizon of a black hole there are an infinite number trajectories for light to observer. Each these paths differ in orbits revolved around and their proximity last photon orbit. With simple numerical perturbed analytical solution null-geodesic equation Schwarzschild we will reaffirm how each additional orbit is factor $$e^{2 \pi }$$ <mml:math xmlns:m...
