The Root ZX has been introduced recently as a device capable of performing accurately in the presence of sodium hypochlorite, blood, water, local anesthetic, and pulpal tissues. The Root ZX was used to locate the apical foramen in 26 root canals of vital teeth. After extraction of the teeth, a stereomicroscope was used to confirm visually the relationship of the tip of the endodontic file to th...

Current statistical models for structured prediction make simplifying assumptions about the underlying output graph structure, such as assuming a low-order Markov chain, because exact inference becomes intractable as the tree-width of the underlying graph increases. Approximate inference algorithms, on the other hand, force one to trade off representational power with computational efficiency. ...

Three approaches have been taken to the study of submarine debris flows. 1) Measurements laterally constrained debris flow dynamics and pore pressure variation have been performed in the “Fish Tank” facility. 2) The dynamics of unconfined debris flows have been studied using the “Main Channel.” 3) A numerical model of muddy debris flows is being extended to a) sandy debris flows and b) the rewo...

Much attention has been paid to the theoretical explanation of the empirical success of AdaBoost. The most influential work is the margin theory, which is essentially an upper bound for the generalization error of any voting classifier in terms of the margin distribution over the training data. However, important questions were raised about the margin explanation. Breiman (1999) proved a bound ...

This paper deals with the design opportunities of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) for lower power Consumption and propagation delay .Here we have analyzed both read margin for read ability and write margin for SRAM write ability. Static Noise Margin affects both read margin and write margin. We have analyzed the Static Noise Margin using traditional butterfly method which requires the rotati...

The midline diastema is a space (or gap) between the maxillary central incisors . The space can be a normal growth characteristic during the primary and mixed dentition and generally is closed by the time the maxillary canines erupt. Researchers and clinicians now believe that multiple factors may contribute to a midline space including abnormal frenum, midline bony clefts ,oral habits, soft ti...

INTRODUCTION Among all prognostic factors, "margin status" is the only factor under clinician's control. Current guidelines describe histopathologic margin of >5 mm as "clear margin" and 1-5 mm as "close margin." Ambiguous description of positive margin in the published data resulted in comparison of microscopically "involved margin" and "close margin" together with "clear margin" in many publi...

This paper describes a study where an argon cold plasma jet, generated by dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD), is combined with nanosecond laser ablation (248 nm, 25 ns, 10 Hz) to deposit silver particle aerosols onto the substrate at atmospheric pressure. The deposition of examined using various microscopy techniques and absorption spectroscopy for jet produced operating DBD in normal reversed ...
