It has been assumed that plaque enhancement by cationic polymers is due to their binding of sulfated polysaccharides in agar. However, viruses that are enhanced by cationic polymers, diethylaminoethyl-dextran, and protamine were found not to be inhibited by polyanions in agar under the usual overlay conditions. In the case of adenovirus, enhancement by protamine seems to be due to the protamine...

Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks such as CAN, Chord, Pastry, and Tapestry can be used to implement Internet-scale application-level multicast. There are two general approaches to accomplishing this: tree building and flooding. This paper evaluates these two approaches using two different types of structured overlay: 1) overlays which use a form of generalized hypercube routing, e.g., Ch...

© Adaptive Overlays for Shared Stream Processing Environments Olga Papaemmanouil, Sujoy Basu, Sujata Banerjee HP Laboratories HPL-2007-178(R.1) stream processing, overlay, quality-of-service Large-scale overlays has become a powerful paradigm for deploying stream processing applications in wide-area environments. The dynamic nature of these systems makes it difficult to guarantee the Quality of...

obviously, learning environment plays a crucial role in how second language or a foreign language is learned. in this regard, the importance of interaction for l2 learning has been emphasized. the current study investigated teachers' interactional moves (im) and learners' uptake in efl classrooms systematically. to meet this end, four efl contexts of speaking and listening courses for...

Coarse-grained FPGA overlays built around the runtime programmable DSP blocks in modern FPGAs can achieve high throughput and improved scalability compared to traditional without detailed consideration of architecture. These be mapped using higher level compilers, achieving fast compilation, software-like programmability run-time management, high-level design abstraction. OpenCL allows programs...

Virtual overlay networks, such as virtual private networks or peer-to-peer services, can be seen as a new paradigm for providing multi-service networks. Virtual overlay networks may offer customized services to a specified community while providing a high degree of flexibility in the usage of shared resources. This paper examines the requirements of operating dynamic overlays, in particular, fo...

This study evaluated the fracture strength of teeth restored with bonded ceramic inlays and overlays compared to sound teeth. Thirty sound human maxillary premolars were assigned to 3 groups: 1- sound/unprepared (control); 2- inlays and 3- overlays. The inlay cavity design was Class II MOD preparation with an occlusal width of 1/2 of the intercuspal distance. The overlay cavity design was simil...
