This study evaluated the influence of defined pressure application before light-curing on the tensile bond strength (TBS) of two adhesive systems to wet and perfused dentin. Bonding sites were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to assess morphological changes. Dentin discs from 120 human third molars were prepared in such a way to allow simulation of intrapulpal pressure. The specim...

This paper describes a new design of the multipurpose cryptographic primitive ARMADILLO3 and analyses its security. The ARMADILLO3 family is oriented on small hardware such as smart cards and RFID chips. The original design ARMADILLO and its variants were analyzed by Sepehrdad et al. at CARDIS’11, the recommended variant ARMADILLO2 was analyzed by Plasencia et al. at FSE’12 and by Abdelraheem e...

This is a description of a multipurpose simulation platform that includes numerous simulation engines and is intended for application in a variety of engineering domains. The platform supports modelbased software development and uses structural synthesis of programs for translation of declarative specification of simulation problems into executable code. The platform is being developed as open ...

A backtracking algorithm with element order selection is presented, and its efficiency discussed in relation both to standard examples and to examples concerning relation-preserving maps which the algorithm was derived to solve.
