introdouction: the high prevalence of apical periodontitis (ap) of endodontic origin raises an important public health problem. root canal treatment (rct) and crown restoration (cr) have an effect on its prevalence. this cross-sectional study was performed to assess the effect of rct and cr on the prevalence of ap. materials and methods: two observers assessed 608 teeth with rct belonging to pa...

Exact decentralized output-feedback Lyapunov-based designs of direct model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for linear interconnected delay systems with MIMO subsystems are introduced. The design process uses a co-ordinated decentralized structure of adaptive control with reference model co-ordination which requires an exchange of signals between the different reference models. It is shown tha...

We investigate the performance of a randomized coordination mechanism for resource access in an autonomous decentralized system. Given n users and r resources, each user decides to access a resource with probability a, and each resource is selected with equal likelihood. The goal i s to select a so that mutually conjicting decisions, where multiple users try to access the same resource, are min...

In autonomous decentralized FMS, the number of agents and constant installation position has been studied in previous studies. Therefore, in this study, we are considering to change the position of the warehouse and the number of AGVs to redesign the factory form and evaluate the changes in the production of autonomous decentralized FMS. By being inspired by human mind, we are proposing Minimum...
