Objectives The aim of the study is to define the relationship between the apical preparation diameter and the apical sealing ability to highlight the importance of the preservation of the diameter and the original position of the apical foramen. Materials and Methods 50 extracted maxillary incisors were randomly allocated into three groups of 15 teeth each (n = 15) according to the apical pre...

This paper tests for the e¤ects of increased trade and …nancial integration on business cycle co-movement. Using both quantitative theory and a reduced form empirical approach motivated by the theory, I measure and explain the channels from bilateral trade integration, …nancial integration, and industrial specialization to cyclical co-movement. The model is also used to measure the causal chann...

Rcclox potentials of mud cores from seven lakes, including acid bog, unproductive, and productive types, were measured with Mortimer’s multiple clect,rodc. A break existed below t,he surface, but variation in measurement was too great to characterize its depth within f30-50%. Accuracy of potential mcasuremcnt is limited by lack of poise, so that the scatter of units of the multiple electrode in...
