Minimal Intervention in Dentistry Put into Practice

The minimal intervention in dentistry (MID) is a response to traditional concepts of operative dentistry developed by Black, more than a century ago. The MID philosophy is based on the knowledge of caries disease process and adhesive dentistry. Its main goal is to maintain tooth in function for life. Some procedures/protocols that represent MID philosophy are caries risk assessment, early carie...

The SeniorGezond Recommender: Exploration Put into Practice

Recommender systems suggest objects to users navigating a web site. They observe the pages that a user visits and predict which other pages may be of interest. On the basis of these predictions recommenders select a number of pages that are suggested to the user. By far the most popular recommendation strategy is to select the pages of which the recommender believes they are the most interestin...

Scaling theory put into practice: first-principles modeling of transport in doped silicon nanowires.

We combine the ideas of scaling theory and universal conductance fluctuations with density-functional theory to analyze the conductance properties of doped silicon nanowires. Specifically, we study the crossover from ballistic to diffusive transport in boron or phosphorus doped Si nanowires by computing the mean free path, sample-averaged conductance G, and sample-to-sample variations std(G) as...
