The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and behavior of dentists regarding toothbrush disinfection. This study included 147 dentists (88 women and 59 men) who were actively employed at a dental school in Ankara, Turkey. Participants were asked to fill out a standard questionnaire, which contained questions regarding their demographics, brushing habits, toothbrush storage and disinfe...

Knowledge management involves both the elicitation/creation of knowledge, and the storage/retrieval of meaningful knowledge in future states. In ill-defined, emerging situations, team members grope to make sense of the situation, react to stimuli from the external environment, and interact with each other and human artifacts to develop an interpretation of the environment. A general model of th...

Cloud platforms provide scalable processing and data storage and access services that can be exploited for implementing highperformance knowledge discovery systems and applications. This paper discusses the use of Clouds for the development of scalable distributed knowledge discovery applications. Service-oriented knowledge discovery concepts are introduced, and a framework for supporting highp...

Introduction: An appropriate emergency management and treatment plan are important for good prognosis of avulsed teeth. Extra alveolar dry time and the storage media used to transport the tooth are critical factors for successful and long-term outcomes. Knowledge of dentists for appropriate treatment plan and good prognosis is important. The Purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge o...

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is the lead federal agency for the development and deployment of carbon sequestration technologies. Its mission includes promoting scientific and technological innovations and transfer of knowledge for safe and permanent storage of CO(2) in the subsurface. To accomplish its mission, DOE is characterizing and classifying potential geologic storage res...

The main aim of the MIMA (Mining Information for Management and Acquisition) Search System is to achieve ‘structuring knowledge’ to accelerate knowledge exploitation in the domains of science and technology. This system integrates natural language processing including ontology development, information retrieval, visualization, and database technology. The ‘structuring knowledge’ that we define ...

DCSP (Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem) has been a very important research area in AI (Artificial Intelligence). There are many application problems in distributed AI that can be formalized as DSCPs. With the increasing complexity and problem size of the application problems in AI, the required storage place in searching and the average searching time are increasing too. Thus, to use...

BACKGROUND Improper handling has been identified as one of the major reasons for the decline in vaccine potency at the time of administration. Loss of potency becomes evident when immunised individuals contract the diseases the vaccines were meant to prevent. OBJECTIVE Assessing the factors associated with vaccine handling and storage practices. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. Thr...

There is a wealth of research on storage systems, focusing on the storage system architecture, intelligent use of storage resources, and mass storage systems. However, very little research looks at a key component of centralized storage systems, the physical fabric of the network that holds the storage system together. “Best practice” frameworks for the management of storage systems exist, but ...
