In an interactive multimedia environment that handles multiple sessions dynamically, a mechanism to control QOS among sessions is very important. As such a mechanism, the QOS-Control Server has been developed on RT-Mach. This paper gives the results of several experiments with this server, and describes the extensions of RT-Mach.

Traditionally, a stand-alone client application is rendered collaborative for members of a team either by sharing its view or by rewriting it as a collaborative client. However, it may not be possible to anticipate in advance all preferences for collaboration, hence such a client may appear confusing to some of the team members. We propose a novel client/server architecture for tk-based applica...

objectives : the aim of this study was to assess the effect of artificial accelerated aging (aaa) on color change of direct and indirect fiber-reinforced composite (frc) restorations. materials and methods: direct (z250) and indirect (gradia) composite resins were reinforced with glass (gf) and polyethylene fibers (pf) based on the manufacturers’ instructions. forty samples were fabricated and ...

objectives: composite restorations must have tooth-like optical properties namely color and translucency and maintain them for a long time. this study aimed to compare the effect of accelerated artificial aging (aaa) on the translucency of three methacrylate-based composites (filtek z250, filtek z250xt and filtek z350xt) and one silorane-based composite resin (filtek p90). materials and methods...

Synopsis This document gives a short overview of the FABEL project.

Background:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is widely considered as the disease of elderly white men. Inflammation is one of the most well-known mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of AAA. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body with established anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of Mg loading following AAA surgery on two inflamma...
