Introduction: The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based composite resins on temperature rise during polymerization of composite resins. Materials &Methods: In this in vitro study, ninety composite samples with two types of composite resin - methacrylate-based and a low-shrinkage silorane-based were prepared, in...

As the Intelligence Community migrates from a paradigm of using disjoint, data and application stovepipes to a paradigm of shared knowledge and networkeded component services, the cost of developing appropriate domain ontologies becomes a concern. In this paper, we present a methodology for rapidly developing composite domain ontologies by linking and reusing existing ontologies. We will compar...

Creating new applications by integrating user interface and application components is a relatively new idea which is currently of wide interest. A significant part of this problem is clearly defining the separation between user interface and application components. This paper proposes a new design methodology based on the concept of an abstract data view (ADV), a structuring method which cleanl...

We describe our work on information extraction from multiple sources for the Multimedia Indexing and Searching Environment, a project aiming at developing technology to produce formal annotations about essential events in multimedia programme material. The creation of a composite index from multiple and multi-lingual sources is a unique aspect of this project. The domain chosen for tuning the s...

Case based learning CBL algorithms are CBR systems that focus on the topic of learning This paper notes why CBL algorithms are good choices for many supervised learning tasks describes a framework for CBL algorithms outlines a progression of CBL algorithms for tackling learning applications characterized by challenging problems i e noisy cases poor similarity functions contextual importance of ...

We present RBC heavy-light meson spectroscopy with quenched DBW2 gauge configurations at lattice cutoff a−1 of about 3 GeV. Both heavy and light quarks are described by domain-wall fermions (DWF). The heavy quark mass ranges between 0.1 and 0.4 lattice units, covering charm. The light quark mass ranges between 0.008 and 0.04, covering strange. In particular, we discuss charmed (D and D) and cha...

Presented paper describes the development of comprehensive approach for knowledge processing within e-Sceince tasks. Considering the task solving within a simulation-driven approach a set of knowledge-based procedures for task definition and composite application processing can be identified. This procedures could be supported by the use of domain-specific knowledge being formalized and used fo...
