ANDRILL completed its first season in 2006-07 drilling AND-1B through the McMurdo Ice Shelf (MIS) to a depth of 1,285m below the sea floor, a record for Antarctic margin drilling, with 99% recovery. The alternating glacial-interglacial sediment packages interbedded with volcanics provide a uniquely detailed record of Antarctic glacial and climatic change through the Neogene. This paper summariz...

In [4] an algorithm is presented for analytic phase margin control design. Without special care, however, the compensator computed with this algorithm may not be a real rational function. The problem is evident when the plant has real unstable poles. In this case the algorithm in [4] requires a mapping of real points into complex values, and it is not clear that the resulting compensator has re...

This study used data from 220 adults to examine the relations among 3 inhibition-related functions. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested that Prepotent Response Inhibition and Resistance to Distractor Interference were closely related, but both were unrelated to Resistance to Proactive Interference. Structural equation modeling, which combined Prepotent Response Inhibition and Resistance to D...

In this document we give a short overview of the reasons why Rijndael should be selected as the AES. We have divided our arguments into four categories: • Security: Rijndael has the same objective security level as the other finalists, and can easily be implemented in a secure way. • Efficiency: Rijndael has a large "performance margin" compared to the other candidates. • Design philosophy: The...

1 The central problem in the case of face detectors is to build a face class model. We present a method for face class modeling in the eigenfaces space using a large-margin classifier like SVM. Two main issues are addressed: what is the required number of eigenfaces to achieve a good classification rate and how to train the SVM for a good generalization. As the experimental evidence show, gener...

Sauer’s Lemma is extended to classes HN of binary-valued functions h on [n] = {1, . . . , n} which have a margin less than or equal to N on all x ∈ [n] with h(x) = 1, where the margin μh(x) of h at x ∈ [n] is defined as the largest non-negative integer a such that h is constant on the interval Ia(x) = [x− a, x+ a] ⊆ [n]. Estimates are obtained for the cardinality of classes of binary valued fun...

high and increasing beef marketing margin leads one to controversy about factors affecting it. this study using the monthly data for the 1998-2005 period to investigate the market power and to estimate how farm and marketing services supplies and retail demand determinants can affect beef marketing margin. the results show that farm, marketing services and retail level prices and thereby ma...

The aim of this study is to present the Cloninger’s psychobiological model and student procrastinating behaviour. The analysis shows the relationship of the results of Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and procrastinating behaviour. The sample included 110 students from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Our expectation were confirmed: the personality features like sel...

CASE REPORT Root canal treatment was performed in a mandibular right second premolar with a periapical lesion and apical resorption. The root canal was prepared with K-files using the step-back technique and 3% NaOCl as an irrigant; during obturation gross overfilling of gutta-percha occurred. The tooth was permanently restored with a post and core along with a crown. Although healing of the pe...
