OBJECTIVES Locally used doxycycline has been shown to concentrate in crevicular fluid and demonstrates a wide spectrum of activity against the periodontal pathogens. The aim of the present clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of doxycyline hyclate 10% as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS 60 systemically healthy, chron...

Planing properties of seven Australian plantation-grown eucalypts were evaluated to provide recommendations on how these species should be machined and considered for the manufacture of high quality furniture and furnishings. The surface quality produced for each species was evaluated using eight planing conditions. All species performed well producing equivalent or better results than mature t...

modeling and analysis of future prices has been hot topic for economic analysts in recent years. traditionally, the complex movements in the prices are usually taken as random or stochastic process. however, they may be produced by a deterministic nonlinear process. accuracy and efficiency of economic models in the short period forecasting is strategic and crucial for business world. nonlinear ...

one of the ways to manage human resources is performance management. with a systematic approach, this sort of management determines strategic goals, identifies indexes, collects, analyzes and reports data and ultimately improves the organization performance. performance management is a process that calls for the interaction of factors such as administrative goals, accountability standards and e...

Police patrols are used ubiquitously to deter crimes in urban areas. A distinctive feature of urban crimes is that criminals react opportunistically to patrol officers’ assignments. Compared to strategic attackers (such as terrorists) with a well-laid out plan, opportunistic criminals are less strategic in planning attacks and more flexible in executing them. In this paper, our goal is to recom...

While there has been an increasing focus on the use of game theoretic models for autonomous driving, empirical evidence shows that are still open questions around dealing with challenges common knowledge assumptions as well modeling bounded rationality. To address some these practical challenges, we develop a framework generalized dynamic cognitive hierarchy both modelling naturalistic human dr...
