The aim of this investigation was to determine, compare and evaluate three different computerized tracing programs, where the lateral cephalograms were digitized on the screen. 39 randomly selected cephalometric radiographs were used in the present study. Three programs Planmeca Romexis® (Romexis 3.2.0., Helsinki, Finland), Orthalis (France) and AxCeph (A.C 2.3.0.74, Ljubljana, Slovenia) were e...

This book outlines the underlying pathophysiology of heart failure, summarises standard pharmacological and device therapy, and sets the context of the challenges resulting from an unpredictable course of disease. In easily digestible summaries, this book presents practical advice about how and when to integrate a palliative care approach alongside standard heart failure management, how to comm...

Asharov, Canetti, and Hazay (Eurocrypt 2011) studied how game-theoretic concepts can be used to capture the cryptographic properties of correctness, privacy, and fairness in two-party protocols in the presence of fail-stop adversaries. Based on their work, we characterize the properties of “two-message” oblivious transfer protocols in terms of game-theoretic concepts. Specifically, we present a...

Having had the wonderful experience of serving as President of the American Dental Association, and in that capacity, visiting your country in 1957 and again in 1958, I met some very wonderful people. This constantly reminds me of the many responsibilites that all of us have, to do everything possible to advance the dental health of our peoples. Your dental school is a well recognized instituti...

We introduce a novel decision problem to experimentally study situations where people know that they can lie, but do not initially know the economic consequences: they have to invest time to find them out. We report numerous findings, the most intriguing of which is that, in our setting, people can be divided in three types: the Good, who act honestly independently of the corresponding payoff; ...

I was halfway through a recent feedback session with Dr W, a firstyear resident on our in-patient service, when things began to unravel. His eyes, heavy and focused on the floor, suggested inner turmoil in response to what I felt was constructive, albeit challenging, feedback. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair and was visibly disturbed. Things escalated at the conclusion of our conversation...

This article first examines whether brand exposure elicits automatic behavioral effects as does exposure to social primes. Results support the translation of these effects: participants primed with Apple logos behave more creatively than IBM primed and controls; Disney-primed participants behave more honestly than E!primed participants and controls. Second, this article investigates the hypothe...

We consider the problem of dividing a non-homogeneous onedimensional continuum whose endpoints are identified. Examples are the division of a birthday cake, the partition of a circular market, the assignment of sentry duty or medical call. We study the existence of rules satisfying various requirements of fairness (no-envy, egalitarianequivalence; and several requirements having to do with chan...

When grades lose their informative value because the percentage of students receiving the best grade rises without any corresponding increase in ability, this is called grade inflation. Conventional wisdom says that such grade inflation is unavoidable since it is essentially costless to award good grades. In this paper, we point out an effect driving into the opposite direction: Grade inflation...
