introduction: oral diseases are the most prevalent diseases probable at any age. they are chronic in nature and expensive to care.  accurate, comprehensive, well-structured, well-managed data is required to control and prevent oral diseases, clinical audit, quality of patient care, and administrative, financial, research and legal goals fulfillment we need. in dentistry, data collection would p...

A lot of push-out tests of shear studs embedded in normal strength concrete were conducted. So current design code methods of the shear studs are based on the test results of studs embedded in normal strength concrete. It also appeared that the strength of connector and the concrete strength are the main factors affecting the behavior of shear connections. But push-out test data of studs embedd...

INTRODUCTION In the last few years much work has been conducted in creating systems that support clinical trials for example by utilizing electronic health record data. One of these endeavours is the Electronic Health Record for Clinical Research project (EHR4CR). An unanswered question that the project aims to answer is which data elements are most commonly required for patient recruitment. ...

In order to improve the bandwidth utilization of embedded system and the working efficiency of mobile system, we propose a crowd Petri network and bandwidth allocation scheme. These research results are suitable for mobile embedded system. On the one hand, we have established a mobile crowd network system based on crowd Petri net. The system can give full play to the advantages of the concurren...

In the paper the implementation aspects of mathematical morphology based on a new formalization of the window operation is presented. The proposed technique called the Reverse Window Operation (RWO) can also be applied to adaptive morphological operations. In order to reduce the control complexity an algorithm is proposed, which uses a region-based parameter modiication for the structuring elem...

We present an algorithm for intersecting finite-element meshes defined on parametric surface patches. The intersection curves are modeled precisely and both meshes are adjusted to the newly formed borders, without unwanted reparametrizations. The algorithm is part of an interactive shell modeling program that has been used in the design of large offshore oil structures. To achieve good interact...

This paper discusses the CRISTAL object lifecycle management system and its use in provenance data management and the traceability of system events. This software was initially used to capture the construction and calibration of the CMS ECAL detector at CERN for later use by physicists in their data analysis. Some further uses of CRISTAL in different projects (CMS, neuGRID and N4U) are presente...

Because life annuities can increase the level and decrease the volatility of lifetime consumption, economists have long been puzzled by the low demand for life annuities. One potential rational explanation is that adverse selection drives up life annuity prices, which drives down demand. We study the choice between life annuities and lump sums made by 32,000 retiring public employees. These uni...

This paper presents some weighted H-regularity estimates for a model Poisson problem with discontinuous coefficient at high contrast. The coefficient represents a random particle reinforced composite material, i.e., perfectly conducting circular particles are randomly distributed in some background material with low conductivity. Based on these regularity results we study the percolation of the...
