f With the recent changes in the process of board certification, 1 the American Board o Orthodontics (ABO) believes that it would be helpful for all orthodontists to become familiar with the appropriate use of the designation “board-certified.” Proper use of this designation involves clarification of both ethical considerations and legal requirements. In all instances, state law should be consu...

During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks ultimately yield two types of recombinants: crossovers (CO) and noncrossovers (NCO). Recent studies in budding yeast show the CO/NCO designation occurs before stable strand exchange and thus well before Holliday junction resolution. Chromosome synapsis occurs after CO/NCO designation and is not required for the regulated distribution of COs along chromos...

The production of stereoscopic 3D HD content is considerably increasing and experience in 2-view acquisition is in progress. High quality material to the audience is required but not always ensured, and correction of the stereo views may be required. This is done via disparity-compensated view synthesis. A robust method has been developed dealing with these acquisition problems that introduce d...

In today's multitiered application architectures, clients do not access data stored in the databases directly. Instead, they use applications which in turn invoke the DBMS to generate the relevant content. Since executing application programs may require signi cant time and other resources, it is more advantageous to cache application results in a result cache. Various view materialization and ...

Purpose In the tradition of Spencer Brown’s (1969) Laws of Form, observation was defined in Luhmann’s (1984) social systems theory as the designation of a distinction. In the sociological design, however, the designation specifies only a category for the observation. The distinction between observation and expectation enables the sociologist to appreciate the processing of meaning in social sys...

Research in Web caching has yielded analytical tools to model the behavior of large-scale Web caches. Recently, Wolman et al. have proposed an analytical model and used it to evaluate the potential of cooperative Web proxy caching for large populations. This paper shows how to apply the Wolman model to study the behavior of interior cache servers in multi-level caching systems. Focusing on inte...
