From 1995 to 2005, the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) presented its School for Scanning conference eleven times in cities across the United States, serving a total of nearly four thousand professionals. The program addressed a seemingly insatiable need for training on building, managing, and preserving digital collections. Because the conference was presented by an organization ...

A digital search tree (DST) – one of the most fundamental data structures on words – is a digital tree in which keys (strings, words) are stored directly in (internal) nodes. The profile of a digital search tree is a parameter that counts the number of nodes at the same distance from the root. It is a function of the number of nodes and the distance from the root. Several tree parameters, such ...

BACKGROUND Robust hardware and software tools have been developed in digital microscopy during the past years for pathologists. Reports have been advocated the reliability of digital slides in routine diagnostics. We have designed a retrospective, comparative study to evaluate the scanning properties and digital slide based diagnostic accuracy. METHODS 8 pathologists reevaluated 306 randomly ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the shaping effectiveness rotary nickel-titanium (Profile .04 ISO), ultrasonic (K-Type/Satelec), and stainless-steel hand file (K-file/Maillefer) instrumentation and to assess tubular penetration of 2 gutta percha sealers (AH Plus and Sealite-Ultra) following 4 different final irrigation regimens in primary molar roots. METHODS Distal roots of extr...

In recent years a variety of 3D scanning technologies has been applied to the field of Heritage Preserve. The paper describes an operational 3D scanning system that has been set up at Kaohsiung Museum of History for digital archival of cultural artifacts. Also, an approach that refines resolution of stereo correspondence to improve model quality obtained by structured lighting is proposed. The ...

Picosecond photoconductivity in low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT GaAs) has been used to provide temporal resolution both in rigid probes and in scanning force microscope probes. This article reviews the fabrication and use of such probes. 2.5 ps temporal resolution and few microvolts sensitivity are obtained at arbitrary points on circuits with a spatial definition of 100 nm. Rigid probes are tes...
