this case series aims to comprehensively introduce intentional replantation with a focus on its indications and case selection in endodontics. in all represented cases, calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement is used for root-end filling. this case series demonstrates twenty cases of ir and extraoral root-end resection and filling with cem cement. all the selected teeth had a failed endodontic tr...

This paper considers an information theoretic min-max approach to the model selection problem. The aim of this approach is to select the member of a given parameterized family of probability models so as to minimize the worst-case KullbackLeibler divergence from an uncertain “truth” model. Uncertainty of the truth is specified by an upper-bound of the KL-divergence relative to a given reference...

This paper details the selection criteria which were used to choose CASE tools for use in Undergraduate and Postgraduate studies at Deakin University. While the objectives for the use of CASE tools in a tertiary education environment are different from the business world, the same process of evaluation should be applicable and the results of general interest. The study, which took place in 1990...

Designers of AI educational systems have largely ignored the problem of choosing what information to present and how to present it because systems to date have not been faced with a large space of possible presentations. This paper explains how a student model can provide the knowledge needed to make presentation decisions. Systems that use a student model for this purpose can make problems mor...

The mere existence of speciation and extinction make macroevolutionary processes possible. Speciation and extinction introduce discontinuities in the microevolutionary change 16 within lineages by initiating, disrupting, and terminating the continuity of species lineages. Within a clade, speciation and extinction become potent means of macroevolution in and of 18 themselves. This process, terme...

Capitalising useful knowledge for construction procurement selection (CPS) decisions would provide a valuable asset to client organisations, as the successful/unsuccessful experience would help decision-makers avoid the occurrence of similar errors and ensure the most suitable procurement system is employed for a construction project. As a result, there is a need to examine the potential for de...

selecting an appropriate manufacturing machine is a very important and complex problem for firms, which usually have to deal with both qualitative and quantitative criteria. taking into account the differences among machines in terms of cost, speed, quality and after sale services, type and number of machines are important parameters to consider. therefore, the goal of this paper is to propose ...

this paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (madm) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (erp) selection problem based on balanced score card method. this paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from grey theory (was proposed by j. deng). this numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

background  & aim: case-crossover  studies are the case-control  version of crossover studies. in these studies, cases and controls are the same subjects. the term crossover is applied for designs that all subjects pass through both treatment (exposure) and placebo (non-exposure) phases. in fact they are  crossover  of  subjects  between  periods  of  exposure  and  non-exposure.  this  design ...
