When simulating a lattice system near its critical temperature, local algorithms for modeling the system’s evolution can introduce very large autocorrelation times into sampled data. This slowing down places restrictions on analysis that be completed in timely manner of behavior systems around point. Because it is often desirable to study such this point, new algorithm must introduced. Therefor...

The resin-bonded bridge is a relatively new clinical technique that has had favorable clinical reports. Recently, new materials and techniques have been developed which may improve the retention of resin-bonded bridges. This article reviews recent developments concerning resin-bonded bridges, present a case report, and give practical suggestions regarding the fabrication of resin-bonded bridges.

While the complexity of concept satisfiability in both ALCO, the basic description logic ALC enriched with nominals, and ALC(D), the extension of ALC with concrete domains, is known to be PSpace-complete, in this article we show that the combination ALCO(D) of these two logics can have a NExpTime-hard concept satisfiability problem (depending on the concrete domain D used). The proof is by a re...

We present a new Fortran code to calculate the scalar one-loop four-point integral with complex internal masses, based on the method of ’t Hooft and Veltman. The code is applicable when the external momenta fulfill a certain physical condition. In particular it holds if one of the external momenta or a sum of them is timelike or lightlike and therefore covers all physical processes at colliders...

Chinese medicine needs a new pan for a roast that has grown since ancient times in size and shape, a metaphorical roast that we call the industrial and information revolution. Man has not changed, but the forces that impinge on him have enormously, and the signs which had particular meanings at one time in history are no longer the same. The Tight pulse is no longer a sign of internal cold, in ...

We discuss branch points of a ne coverings and their e ects on Veech groups. In particular, this allows us to show that even if one polygon tiles another, the respective Veech groups are not necessarily commensurable. We also show that there is no universal bound on the number of Teichm uller disks passing through the same point of Teichm uller space and having incommensurable lattice Veech g...

4-META/MMA-TBB resin has clinically favorable mechanical and bonding properties and undergoes unique, moisture-insensitive polymerization. To explore the potential usefulness of 4-META/ MMA-TBB resin as a pulp capping material, this study examined its biological and biochemical properties. Rat dental pulp cells were cultured on 4-META/MMA-TBB resin, resin-modified glassionomer (RMGI) cement, an...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the shear bond strength of a new composite resin to polymer-based composite substrates using various surface roughnesses and two kinds of polymer matrices. MATERIALS AND METHODS Particulate filler composite resin with cross-linked polymer matrix and fiber-reinforced composite with semi-interpenetrating polymer matrix were used as bonding subs...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the surface hardness of a resin cement (RelyX ARC) photoactivated through indirect composite resin (Cristobal) disks of different thicknesses using either a light-emitting diode (LED) or quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) light source. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen resin cement specimens were prepared and divided into 6 groups according to the type of curing unit and...
