We present alfonso, an open-source Matlab package for solving conic optimization problems over nonsymmetric convex cones. The implementation is based on the authors’ corrected analysis of a method Skajaa and Ye. It enables any cone as long logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier available or its dual. This includes many cones, example, hyperbolicity cones their duals (such sum-of-sq...

In this paper, firstly, we obtain some new results about bornological convergence in locally convex cones (which was studied in [1]) and then we introduce the concept of bornological completion for locally convex cones. Also, we prove that the completion of a bornological locally convex cone is bornological. We illustrate the main result by an example.

Background and Aim: Different methods have been proposed for rapid disinfection of gutta-percha (GP) cones. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of low-pressure radiofrequency cold plasma (LRFCP) in disinfection of GP cones compared to three chemical disinfectants. Materials and Methods: Seventy GP cones were allocated to seven groups of 10 each. All samples were initially sterilized with e...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare first accessory gutta-percha penetration after the use of nickel-titanium (ni-ti) or stainless-steel spreaders in curved resin blocks. materials and methods: forty resin blocks with 30º and 45º curvatures (20 blocks for each) were prepared and #30 master cones were placed in canals. in part one, under 20 newton pressure, ni-ti or stainless-...

background: stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. a dosimetry study was performed for elekta ‘synergy s ’ as a dedicated stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the beam/egs4...

In this work, the electronic properties of BP and CSi Nano cones have been investigated by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method in water solvent at B3PW91/6-31G (d,p) level of DFT theory for study of  for interactions of 5-Fluorouracil Anticancer Drug with theses Nano cones. The percent of change of energy gap (%ΔEg) shows that the complex formation of 5-Fluorouracil with BP ...

In this article we consider direct and inverse problems for ?-stable, elliptic nonlocal operators whose kernels are possibly only supported on cones which satisfy the structural condition of directional antilocality as introduced by Y. Ishikawa in 80s. We Dirichlet problem these respective “domain dependence operator” several, adapted function spaces. This formulation allows one to avoid natura...

This document is an introduction to the Matlab package SDLS (Semi-Definite Least-Squares) for solving least-squares problems over convex symmetric cones. The package is shortly presented through the addressed problem, a sketch of the implemented algorithm, the syntax and calling sequences, a simple numerical example and some more advanced features. The implemented method consists in solving the...

to compare the mechanical properties of resilon and gutta-percha cones after storing at three different temperatures.one-hundred standardized size 40/02 gutta-percha cones and 100 resilon cones were randomly divided into four groups. the first group of the materials were tested immediately after receipt as the control group. the other three were stored in their packages at -12°c, 4± 1°c and 22±...
