Laser technology has been in the scope of dentistry community since Stern & Sognnaes (1964) studied laser application on dental hard tissues. Lasers have become an attractive instrument for many dental procedures including soft tissues surgery (Sperandio et al., 2011), decontamination (Benedicenti et al., 2008; Koba et al., 1998) and for assuring antiinflammatory effects (Lang-Bicuto et al., 20...

Many applications of various self-adjoint differential equations, whose solutions are complex, are produced Arfken, 1985; Gandarias, 2011; and Delkhosh, 2011 . In this work we propose a method for the solving some self-adjoint equations with variable change in problem, and then we obtain a analytical solutions. Because this solution, an exact analytical solution can be provided to us, we benefi...

In this note, we extend the results by Jia et al [3] to a more general case. By refining the conditions imposed on f and finding more suitable upper and lower solution, we remove some key conditions used in [3], and still establish their results.

These functional foods designed to provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition (KayaCeliker and Mallikarjunan, 2012). Accruing evidences have acclaimed that dietary consumption of vitamin D is linked with low risks of multiple chronic diseases (Calvo et al., 2013; Green et al., 2010; Hohman et al., 2011; Jasinghe et al., 2005; Keane et al., 1998; Keegan et al., 2013; Ko et al., 2008; Koyyala...

It is widely recognized that mathematically simple systems of nonlinear differential equations can exhibit chaos. With the advent of fast computers, it is now possible to explore the entire parameter space of these systems with the goal of finding parameters that result in some desired characteristics of the system. Recently, many new chaotic flows have been discovered that are not associated w...

The data presented here was partially published in the article "Are Environmental Issues Moral Issues? Moral Identity in Relation to Protecting the Natural World" (Jia et al., 2017) [1]. The data was collected at State University of New York at Oneonta in 2016. It included a self-report questionnaire of moral identity, generativity, community engagement, environmental involvement, environmental...

This paper presents a new model of equivalent modulus derived from the Repeated Load CBR (RL-CBR) test without strain gauge. This model is an updated version of Araya et al. model (2011), the update consists of using the vertical strain as weighting factor instead of vertical displacement in the mean vertical and horizontal stresses calculation. The accuracy of equivalent modulus was improved b...

This paper analyzes how US presidential candidates should allocate resources across states to maximize the probability of winning the election, by developing and estimating a probabilisticvoting model of political competition under the Electoral College system. Actual campaigns act in close agreement with the model. There is a 0.9 correlation between equilibrium and actual presidential campaign...
