INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were (1) to investigate the relationship between chronologic age and maturation of cervical vertebrae, (2) to identify the relationship between chronologic age and maturation stage evaluated by hand-wrist radiographs, and (3) to determine whether the maturation of cervical vertebrae correlates with maturation indicated by hand-wrist radiographs in a Turkish p...

Spatial distribution or how abundances vary through space is an important trait of insect populations. Knowledge of the spatial distribution provides a basis for understanding various aspects of population biology including resource exploitation, intraspecific competition or the dynamics of predators and parasitoids. For insect pests, information on the spatial structure of populations may help...

P4 allows a new level of dynamism for routers beyond OpenFlow 1.4 by allowing headers and tables to be modified by software in the field. Without care, P4 can unleash a new wave of software bugs. Existing tools (e.g., VeriFlow, NetPlumber, Hassel, NoD) cannot model changes to forwarding behaviors without reprogramming tool internals or having users manually add new forwarding models. Further, a...

In his seminal 1976 paper on \Stochastic Climate Models", K. Hassel-mann proposed to improve deterministic models for the \climate" (slow variables) by incorporating the innuence of the \weather" (fast variables) in the form of random noise. We will recast this program in the language of modern probability theory as follows: While the transition from a GCM (general circulation model) to an SDM ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of chronological age with cervical vertebrae skeletal maturation, frontal sinus width and antegonial notch depth and a correlation, if any, among the three variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS The samples were derived from lateral cephalometric radiographs of 80 subjects (40 males, 40 females; age range: 10 to 19 years). Cervical v...

The Covid-19 pandemic has raised significant challenges for universities. Digital inclusion “of all learners regardless of their circumstances, learning prerequisites and needs” is a major challenge (Walgenbach, Compes & Lambrich 2019: 9, authors’ translation). Starting with accessibility related concepts such as digital divide, we intend to create wider view barriers in the context teachin...

Recent research by Liu and Thomas (2000) and Dechow et al. (1999) suggest that analysts’ forecasts are important in explaining contemporaneous prices/returns and they strengthen the estimated returnearnings relation. This study investigates the role of the analysts’ earnings forecasts in explaining returns in Sweden where the analyst profession has considerably developed during the last two dec...

Advective ocean{atmosphere interaction: an analytical stochastic model with implications for decadal variability Abstract Atmospheric variability on timescales of a month or longer is dominated by a small number of large-scale spatial patterns (\teleconnections"), whose time evolution has a signiicant stochastic component because of weather excitation. One may expect these patterns to play an i...
