statement of problem: surface disinfection is an important aspect of infection control in dentistry. a new generation of quaternary ammonium components (qacs) is gaining popularity as high-level disinfectants. two types of qac sprays, uniseptaquick and solarsept, are being widely used by iranian dentists. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of unisepta quick a...

ABSTRACT Sensitive glaciomarine clays, often referred to as ‘quick clay’, commonly occur in many countries at high, northerly latitudes, causing frequent and occasionally devastating landslides. The salt content of quick clay is strongly correlated both its shear strength electrical resistivity. Hence, it can be mapped using electromagnetic methods more efficiently than traditional intrusive me...

In recent years, Pillared InterLayered Clays (PILCs) have been widely used in several applications; in particular in adsorption and catalysis. The research interest in this family of solids has increased considerably. Clay minerals provide distinct nanometer-scaled layers and interlayers for engineering them as active catalysts. As such, strategic design and preparation has led to a variety of ...

We analyze data from the legislative bargaining experiments reported in Frechette, Kagel, and Lehrer (2003), Frechette, Kagel, and Morelli (2005a,b), and Drouvelis, Montero, and Sefton (2010) in order to investigate the extent to which the observed deviations from the theoretical predictions can be explained by imperfect best response, in combination with different assumptions about correct (QR...

In this interesting paper Professor Nikiforov reviewed the current state of quickest change detection/isolation problem. In our discussion of his paper we focus on the concerns and the opportunities of the subfield of quickest change detection, or more generally, sequential methodologies, in the modern
