Aim The Self-Adjusting File (SAF) system has been recommended for use in permanent teeth since it offers more conservative and effective root-canal preparation when compared to traditional rotary systems. However, no study had evaluated the usage of SAF in primary teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the use of SAF, K file (manual instrumentation) and Profile (traditional ro...

Operating systems and modern software systems get more complex and more difficult to understand every day. Instrumentation of a software system is a technique for inserting extra code into an application to observer its behavior[6]. It provides insights to a running system, and helps to understand even complex systems. The information provided by an instrumentation tool can be used do debug a r...

Feature location is a commonly occurring problem in software reuse and maintenance. In understanding large software systems, Software Engineers need to locate the different software components that work together to provide a specific end user feature. Because of its importance, this problem has generated much interest among software maintenance researchers and a number of different methods of a...

Feasibility studies on the application of multivariate statistical and mathematical algorithms to chemical problems have proliferated over the past 15 years. In contrast to this. most conunercia11y available computerized analytical instruments have used in the data systems only those algorithms which acquire, display, or massage raw data. These techniques would fall into the "preprocessing stag...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) consists of two 3.8 km circumference rings utilizing 396 superconducting dipoles and 492 superconducting quadrupoles. Each ring will accelerate approximately 60 bunches of 10 protons to 250 GeV, or 10 fully stripped gold ions to 100 GeV/nucleon. Commissioning is scheduled for early 1999 with detectors for some of the 6 intersection regions scheduled fo...
