This paper explores the effect of the noise in the reinjection probability densities (RPD) for type-II and type-III intermittencies by using the temporal series of iterative maps. The RPD are calculated by means of a new method proposed in Refs. [1] and [2] and the results are compared with both, numerical simulations and analytical calculations. In addition, we provide an explanation for the g...

Recognition-primed decision making has been used to describe the behavior of experts in naturalistic environments. A significant body of research has led to the conclusion that RPD models describe decision making in environments characterized by time pressure, competing and/or changing goals and uncertainty. This paper compares the results of several new studies that investigated decision makin...

The main advantage of heuristic or metaheuristic algorithms compared to exact optimization methods is their ability in handling large-scale instances within a reasonable time, albeit at the expense of losing a guarantee for achieving the optimal solution. Therefore, metaheuristic techniques are appropriate choices for solving NP-hard problems to near optimality. Since the parameters of heuristi...

PURPOSE To study the ability of volumetric spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to perform quantitative measurement of the choroidal vasculature in vivo. METHODS Choroidal vascular density and vessel size were quantified using en face choroidal scans from various depths below the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in 58 eyes of 58 patients with either epiretinal membranes (ERM)...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of team-based learning (TBL) methodology on dental students' retention of knowledge regarding removable partial denture (RPD) treatment. The process of learning RPD treatment requires that students first acquire foundational knowledge and then use critical thinking skills to apply that knowledge to a variety of clinical situations. The tra...

Abstract—Multi-response parameter design problems have become increasingly important and have received considerable attention from both researchers and practitioners since there are usually several quality characteristics that must be optimized simultaneously in most modern products/processes. This study applies support vector regression (SVR), VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resen...

It is well established that the Removable Partial Denture (RPD) is an effective treatment prosthesis. The objectives of a successful RPD are: to preserve the health of remaining oral structure, restore function and restore esthetics. To achieve these objectives, an RPD framework must fit accurately to the supporting structures. This paper presents a method for measuring the gaps or spaces prese...
