This study aimed to evaluate, in vitro, the cutting efficiency and time spent for instrumentation of three different heat-treated reciprocating systems simulated straight canals. Forty-five acrylic blocks with a root canal 21 millimeters length were initially weighed (P1). After weighing divided into groups (n = 15) each group prepared following systems: ProDesign R 25.06 (Bassi/Easy, Belo Hori...

The R6K gamma origin core contains the P2 promoter, whose -10 and -35 hexamers overlap two of the seven binding sites for the R6K-encoded pi protein. Two mutations, P2-201 and P2-203, which lie within the -35 region of P2, are shown to confer a promoter-down phenotype. We demonstrate here that these mutations prevent replication of a gamma origin core plasmid. To determine whether or not the re...

BACKGROUND The protamine 1-to-protamine 2 ratio (P1/P2) is altered in the sperm cells of some infertile patients. Also, evidence for increased protamine 2 precursors (pre-P2) in a few patients has been reported. But so far, there have been no studies measuring simultaneously these two variables in a large number of patients. METHODS We measured the P1/P2 ratio and the presence of pre-P2 using...

Bacteriophage P2 requires several host proteins for lytic replication, including helicase DnaB but not the helicase loader, DnaC. Some genetic studies have suggested that the loading is done by a phage-encoded protein, P2 B. However, a P2 minichromosome containing only the P2 initiator gene A and a marker gene can be established as a plasmid without requiring the P2 B gene. Here we demonstrate ...

One can prove the following four propositions: (1) For all points p, q of E2 T and for every subset P of E2 T such that P is an arc from p to q holds P is compact. (2) For every real number r holds 0 ¬ r and r ¬ 1 iff r ∈ the carrier of I. (3) For all points p1, p2 of E 2 T and for all real numbers r1, r2 such that (1 − r1) · p1 + r1 · p2 = (1 − r2) · p1 + r2 · p2 holds r1 = r2 or p1 = p2. (4) ...

For simplicity, we use the following convention: Y is a non empty set, P1, P2 are partitions of Y , A, B are subsets of Y , i is a natural number, x, y, x1, x2, z0 are sets, and X, V , d, t, S1, S2 are sets. The following proposition is true (1) If X ∈ P1 and V ∈ P1 and X ⊆ V, then X = V. Let us consider S1, S2. We introduce S1 ⋐ S2 and S2 ⋑ S1 as synonyms of S1 is finer than S2. We now state s...

We consider the question whether two queries to SAT are as powerful as one query. We show that if PNP[1] = PNP[2] then Locally either NP = coNP or NP has polynomial-size circuits. PNP = PNP[1]. p2 p2=1. p2 = UPNP[1] \RPNP[1]. PH = BPPNP[1]. Moreover we extend work of Hemaspaandra, Hemaspaandra and Hempel to show that if P p2 [1] = P p2 [2] then p2 = p2 . We also give a relativized world where P...
