The commercial success of color sequential displays is limited by the fact that people perceive multiple color images during pursuit and saccadic eye movements. We conducted a psychophysical experiment to quantify visibility of these color artifacts for different saccadic speeds, display background brightness, and target size. An Infocus sequentialcolor projector was placed behind a projection ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of ormocer, nanofilled, nanoceramic, and microhybrid composite restorative systems on the fracture resistance of maxillary premolars with Class II mesio-occlusodistal (MOD) cavities. METHOD AND MATERIALS Eighty-four sound maxillary human premolars were divided into six groups of 14 teeth each. Teeth in the first group were left intact and tested as unprepared...

In recent years there has been great interest in the study of symmetric composite systems. Symmetric composite systems are systems composed of identical subsystems which are symmetrically interconnected. The motivation for studying this class of systems is due to its very diverse application areas, such as in electric power systems, industrial manipulators and computer networks (Lunze 1986, Sun...

Ensuring histocompatibility in the tissue engineering of bones is a complex issue. The aim of this study was to observe the feasibility of chitosan-β-tricalcium phosphate composite in repairing limb bone defects, and to evaluate the therapeutic effects on osteogenesis. Beagle mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were divided into an experimental group that was cultured with an injectable form of chito...

PURPOSE This in vitro study investigated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars restored using silorane- or methacrylate-based composite along with or without fiber or nano-ionomer base. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six intact maxillary premolars were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 12). G1 (negative control) was the intact teeth. In Groups 2-8, root canal treatme...

For the problem of vertical-moved and discontinuous stator resulting from disturbance, this paper proposes an dual mode composite control structure for permanent magnet linear motor to prevent stepping out. The composite controller is designed containing fuzzy control, neural network control and genetic algorithm. The mechanism of the control and parameter optimization method for fuzzy neural n...

Change operators are the building blocks of ontology evolution. Elementary, composite and complex change operators have been suggested. While lower-level change operators are useful in terms of finegranular representation of ontology changes, representing the intent of change requires higher-level change operators. Here, we focus on higherlevel composite change operators to perform an aggregate...

objective : application of sodium ascorbate as an antioxidant and calcium hydroxide as a buffering agent following intracoronal bleaching has been recommended. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using the mentioned materials on shear bond strength of composite resin to the bleached dentin. materials and methods: in this in vitro investigation, sixty human sound premolars wer...
