This study evaluated the effects of polishing on surface roughness, gloss, and color of regular, opaque, and enamel shades for each of three resin composites. Two-mm-thick resin disks made with Estelite Σ Quick, Clearfil Majesty, and Beautifil II were final polished with 180-, 1000-, and 3000-grit silicon carbide paper. Surface roughness, gloss, and color were measured one week after curing. Es...

By implementing a cached region selection scheme and automatic label completion, we extended an open-source audio editor to become a more convenient audio annotation tool for tasks such as ground-truth annotation for audio and music classification. A usability experiment was conducted with encouraging preliminary results.

This paper reconsiders the task of MRDbased word sense disambiguation, in extending the basic Lesk algorithm to investigate the impact onWSD performance of different tokenisation schemes, scoring mechanisms, methods of gloss extension and filtering methods. In experimentation over the Lexeed Sensebank and the Japanese Senseval2 dictionary task, we demonstrate that character bigrams with sense-s...

Opadry® II 1 Influence of Film Coating Process Parameters on the Gloss of Tablets Coated with Pigmented Aqueous Film Coating Formulations PURPOSE A common practice for enhancing the gloss of coated tablets is the application of a clear top-coat after applying a pigmented coating layer. In a recent study, substantial increases in tablet gloss were achieved using this multiple step approach.1 It ...

The approach of combining a multitude of audio features and also symbolic features (through transcription of audio to MIDI) for music classification proved useful, as shown previously. We extended the system submitted to MIREX 2008 by including temporal audio features, adding another audio analysis algorithm based on finding templates on music, enhancing the polyphonic audio to MIDI transcripti...
