Background Marital status is a robust sociodemographic predictor of sleep. Having to live apart from spouse may have different implications than those cohabitants or singles, especially in military personnel. Further research on this group will help provide knowledge advance and facilitate early targeted interventions. Methods An online questionnaire study was conducted July November 2021. A to...

Multi-tenant database systems have a component called the Resource Manager, or RM that is responsible for allocating resources to tenants. RMs today do not provide direct support for performance objectives such as: “Average job response time of tenant A must be less than two minutes”, or “No more than 5% of tenant B’s jobs can miss the deadline of 1 hour.” Thus, DBAs have to tinker with the RM’...

A wide array of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) mechanisms have recently been proposed for improving bandwidth utilization and reducing idle times and packet delays in passive optical networks (PONs). The DBA evaluation studies commonly assumed that the report message for communicating the bandwidth demands of the distributed optical network units (ONUs) to the central optical line terminal ...

This study compared differences in both maladaptive beliefs and attitudes about sleep between African American (heareafter referred to as black) men at risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and those without OSA risk. METHODS A convenience sample of 120 community-dwelling men provided sociodemographic, health and sleep data. A validated questionnaire was used to identify men at high risk for...

Background Immediate dentin sealing implies applying an adhesive system to directly after tooth preparation, before impression. The technique is universal (inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns) and well documented clinically experimentally. Different types of bonding agents (DBAs) are available on the market. Major differences lie in thickness hybrid layer overlaying resin (filled vs. unfilled/light...

The development of low-traumatic surgical drains aimed at maximum possible separation blood and air, is an important trend in modern medicine. objective this work to create inexpensive, user-friendly dynamic aspiration system (DBAS). allows effective air when drawing from a wound under vacuum conditions required for aspiration. operating principle the separate liquid gas fractions blood-air mix...

Deterministic Büchi automata (DBA) are useful to (probabilistic) model checking and synthesis. We survey techniques used to obtain and minimize DBAs for different classes of properties. We extend these techniques to support DBA that have generalized and transitionbased acceptance (DTGBA) as they can be even smaller. Our minimization technique—a reduction to a SAT problem—synthesizes a DTGBA equ...

This study evaluated the thickness of Dentin Bonding Agent (DBA) used for "immediate dentin sealing" of onlay preparations prior to final impression making for indirect restorations. In addition, the amount of DBA that is removed when the adhesive surface is cleaned with polishing or air abrasion prior to final cementation was evaluated. For this purpose, a standardized onlay preparation was pr...

It is quite evident nowadays that designing a database is too complicated a task for a single database administrator (DBA). There is definitely a need for more succesful methodologies, supporting distribution of the design task among various designers (whether users or local DBAs). Cooperative design is used here to denote design techniques based upon coordinated activities of several partners....

Inspired by the dynamics phenomenon occurred in social networks, the WJJLGS model is modified to imitate the clustering dynamics of signed social networks. Analyses show that the clustering dynamics of the model can be applied to partition signed social networks. Traditionally, blockmodel is applied to partition signed networks. In this paper, a detailed dynamics-based algorithm for signed soci...
