Introduction. A legislative mandate to adopt digital textbooks in Florida provides an opportunity to identify concerns school librarians have regarding digital textbook implementation. Method. The stages of concern questionnaire was used to identify stages of concern among Florida school librarians about their potential role in this implementation. Analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to ...

introduction: this study was carried out to investigate calcific tissue formation against mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) after pulp capping. materials and methods: the pulps of six teeth from four dogs were exposed and capped with mta. after extraction each tooth was sectioned into halves. each half was then further sectioned in the mesiodistal or buccolingual direction. calcified tissue of t...

This paper discusses the theoretical limits for resolution (number of pixels) and maximum contrast for clipped Gaussian and Uniform profile beams in scanning display systems. The results are applicable to scanning microdisplays (e.g. Virtual Retinal Display™) and scanning projection displays.

The goal of the workshop "Linking Research and Education in Digital Libraries", held 27-28 September 2011 in Berlin, was to further a discussion begun at an earlier workshop in Parma in November 2010, on how to better exploit the results of research for education in Digital Libraries, or more generally, education for information workers. The theme was a review of the roles of information profes...

Background and Purpose:  Due to the important role of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment plan in orthodontics, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) images because of their three-dimensional nature, can minimize the disadvantages of two-dimensional images such as magnification, distortion, or superimposition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional cephalograms...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of measurements on digital models obtained by scanning impressions 5, 10, and 15 days after they were made from 2 soft putty polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) materials. METHODS Thirty volunteers were selected for making impressions of their dentitions with alginate to create a plaster model and with PVS impression ma...

BACKGROUND A clinical study was conducted to determine the intra and inter-rater reliability of digital scanning and the neutral suspension casting technique to measure six foot parameters. The neutral suspension casting technique is a commonly utilised method for obtaining a negative impression of the foot prior to orthotic fabrication. Digital scanning offers an alternative to the traditional...

The personalization in information retrieval has for goal to provide applicable information that corresponds precisely to the user’s needs. In this paper, we are interested in creating a “Personalized Information Retrieval System In a Digital Library” called PIRSIDIL in order to present to the current user relevant retrieved documents adapted to their centers of interests and their needs. To ac...
