Background and Aim: Maintaining the original central canal path during cleaning and shaping of the root canal system plays an important role in the success of endodontic treatment. This study sought to compare canal transportation and centering ability of WaveOne and SafeSider rotary files using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This in-vitro, experimental study was ...

This paper looks at the way in which industrial pharmacists rank the fundamental competences for pharmacy practice. European industrial pharmacists (n = 135) ranked 68 competences for practice, arranged into 13 clusters of two types (personal and patient care). Results show that, compared to community pharmacists (n = 258), industrial pharmacists rank competences centering on research, developm...

This paper describes an implemented system which uses centering theory for planning of coherent texts and choice of referring expressions. We argue that text and sentence planning need to be driven in part by the goal of maintaining referential continuity and thereby facilitating pronoun resolution: obtaining a favourable ordering of clauses, and of arguments within clauses, is likely to increa...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of establishing glide path on the centering ability and preparation time of two single-file reciprocating systems in mesial root canals of mandibular molars. methods and materials: sixty extracted mandibular molars with curvatures of 25-39 degrees and separate foramina for the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals, were divi...

Short title: Centered random walks Abstract: we extend the Carne-Varopoulos upper bound on the probability transitions of a Markov chain to a certain class of non-reversible processes by introducing the definition of a ‘centering measure’. In the case of random walks on a group, we study the connections between different notions of centering.

PURPOSE One difficulty with Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is air management during surgery and donor endothelial lamella centering. We evaluated the no-touch technique for donor centering and the use of a newly developed DSAEK donor adjuster. METHODS We evaluated the records of 12 consecutive patients (mean age 75.3 years) with bullous keratopathy who had und...

Centrosome positioning is actively regulated by forces acting on microtubules radiating from the centrosomes. Two mechanisms, center-directed and polarized cortical pulling, are major contributors to the successive centering and posteriorly displacing migrations of the centrosomes in single-cell-stage Caenorhabditis elegans. In this study, we analyze the spatial distribution of the forces actin...

This article focuses on droidial bodies in children’s literature to explore how speculative literacies foster necessary spaces for thinking about (non)human and more-than-human connectivity. Specifically, we share what was produced when applied a framework underpinned by posthumanist concepts three books centering robots. Using Jackson Mazzei’s with theory plug into these books, this raises (re...
