PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare tooth surface characteristics in extracted human molars after cervical enamel projections (CEPs) were removed with the use of three rotating instruments. METHODS We classified 60 extracted molars due to periodontal lesion with CEPs into grade I, II, or III, according to the Masters and Hoskins' criteria. Each group contained 20 specime...

Mixed-Ligand Complexes, Stacking Interactions, 2,2'-Bipyridyl, 3-Phenylpropionate, Carboxymethyl Aryl Sulfides The stability constants of ternary Cu2+ and Zn2+ complexes, each of which contains 2,2'-bipyridyl and a carboxymethyl aryl sulfide, were determined in 50% aqueous dioxane. A comparison of the stability of these ternary complexes with those formed with simple carboxylates demonstrates a...

The NK homeodomain factor Tinman is a crucial regulator of early mesoderm patterning and, together with the GATA factor Pannier and the Dorsocross T-box factors, serves as one of the key cardiogenic factors during specification and differentiation of heart cells. Although the basic framework of regulatory interactions driving heart development has been worked out, only about a dozen genes invol...

This paper describes the development of the srBPA ontology, which is a formal ontology that conceptualizes the elements of the Riva-based business process architecture and the relationships between them. This ontology was instantiated using the UWE’s CEMS faculty administration case study in an attempt to assess the correctness and the usefulness of the developed ontology. The assessment reveal...

This thesis is a result from a project funded by ITS Edulab (a cooperation between Rijkswaterstaat and Delft University of Technology) and the Netherlands Research School for Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics TRAIL, and it is co-sponsored by the NWO project " Travel Behaviour and Traffic Operations in case of Exceptional Events " (Project number 453-08-006). Preface Prior to starting my m...

The fall of communism in Eastern Europe, facilitated by its collapse in the Soviet Union, caused fundamental societal changes that led from a rigidly directed economy to a modern approach to capitalism and a market economy. The process of transition from communism to capitalism is, in Czech literature, more precisely referred to as the “transformation.” However, it also deeply affected the sphe...

In the first paper presented at the conference, Riccardo DiCecio and Edward Nelson presented a monetary policy model estimated to fit U.K. data. The model is a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model based on the popular work of Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (2005; CEE). This version of the DSGE model is characterized by a number of economic frictions arising from wage and price...

This paper analyses the emergence of central Europe as a new location for the production of electronics. The main factors that drive integration in the region into global production networks are also analysed, as well as prospects for upgrading the industry by using network alignment perspectives. Foreign investment is the primary vehicle of integration of CEE electronics firms into global prod...
