In this paper, we present the first non-trivial property tester for joint probability distributions in the recently introduced conditional sampling model. The conditional sampling framework provides an oracle for a distribution μ that takes as input a subset S of the domain Ω and returns a sample from the distribution μ conditioned on S.For a joint distribution of dimension n, we give a Õ(n3)-q...

Property testers are algorithms whose goal is distinguishing between inputs that have a certain property and inputs which are far from all instances with this property. We show that for a wide variety of properties, there exists no deterministic tester that queries only a sublinear number of input entries. Therefore, most sublinear property testers must be probabilistic algorithms. Nevertheless...

Paper sheets from Iranian olive tree produced by soda, sulphite and kraft pulping.Then the influence of pulp beating on properties of paper sheets was studied. Kraft pulp exhibited the highest holocellulose/yield -cellulose/yield ratios and the sulphite pulp the soda pulp the highest lignin/yield ratio. Paper sheets from kraft with the breaking length 5851 m, stretch 4.61%, Burst index 4.48 KN/...

Dental preparation sometimes causes transient congestion, edema, and necrosis of the pulp. We hypothesized that nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the pathophysiological changes in pulp after preparation. The mRNA and protein expression of the inducible isoform of NO synthase (iNOS) was examined in murine pulp after dental preparation. The effects of NO on the proliferation, mineralization, and a...

AIM To review the literature on pulp chamber and root canal obliteration in anterior teeth and to establish a clear protocol for managing teeth with fine, tortuous canal systems. SUMMARY Pulp canal obliteration (PCO) occurs commonly following traumatic injuries to teeth. Approximately 4-24% of traumatized teeth develop varying degrees of pulpal obliteration that is characterized by the appare...

BACKGROUND Pulp stones (PS) are discrete calcified masses found in the dental pulp, in the pulp tissue or become attached to or embedded into the dentine. The formation of pulp stones is still something of an enigma, leading to existence of some epidemiological gaps. AIM To determine the prevalence and distribution of pulp stones in posterior tooth group by using panoramic radiograph. MATER...

The aim of this study was to compare the morbidity of permanent teeth associated with mandibular fractures treated with plates with those treated with interdental wiring. Fractures involving third molars were excluded. Sixty-three teeth in the line of fractures in 40 patients were investigated clinically (tooth vitality; periodontal status) and with periapical radiographs. Of these, 34 teeth we...

• If the pulp chamber of a tooth is penetrated, either by dental caries, or by a dental drill, inflammation and eventual death of the pulp tissue usually follows. While a long interval may elapse before degeneration is complete, necrosis is an almost inevitable consequence of pulpal penetration. A current explanation in the dental literature for this phenomenon is as follows. The application of...

Bodhe, Shraddha G. M.S.E.C.E., Purdue University, August 2014. A lightweight N-cover algorithm for diagnostic fail data minimization. Major Professor: Irith Pomeranz. The increasing design complexity of modern ICs has made it extremely difficult and expensive to test them comprehensively. As the transistor count and density of circuits increase, a large volume of fail data is collected by the t...
